- On December 6th 1969, over 300,000 people gathered for a free Rolling Stones' concert at the Altamont Speedway with the Hells Angels acting as security. What could go wrong?

It was Rock Scully Grateful Dead manager at the time that hooked up the ha for security
The stones shouldn't have trusted the hells angels no matter what anyone/band/band manger. They live to ride, party, and put fear out in the world..smh.. bloody hell man. I understand why the Beatles didn't want to tour anymore, too much bullshit can go on.
Some of the best info about Altamont can be found in the books by Sam Cutler, the Stones tour manager at the time and the voice that announces “The greatest rock and roll band in the world, The Rolling Stones,” on the Ya Ya’s album, Ethan Russell coffee table size photo book, and by Joel Selvin, and Selvin’s book is one of the best of all the books on Altamont.
It's always amazed me how the Grateful Dead have constantly managed to be spared their share of responsibility for the Altamont debacle when, after all, they were the ones who, in the first place, recommended the Hells Angels, maybe not the chapeter that wound up at Altamont, but how could the Stones know about the San Francisco chapter vs the San Jose chapter vs the Oakland chapter. The Dead (and their manager Rock Scully) knew about this and the various differences among chapters and should have been more involved. But they weren't. Then, at the festival itself, and this is critical, after arriving to perform in their alloted slot, the Grateful Dead, taking stock of the violence that had taken place up to that point, walked out on the event and left the premisis altogether, leaving a 2 hour gap before the Stones came on. The Dead, on their own home turf, with an audience that was their crowd, their people, bolted like cowards, fearing further violence. They could have had a soothing effect on the crowd if they'd performed. It may or may not have worked, but their unwillingness to try was reprehensible. They knew the Stones were now alone and didn't have the option of walking out. As bad as things were at the moment of the Dead's exit, there's no telling how much worse things might have degenerated had the Stones, too, walked out. The Grateful Dead's bailing essentially gave the message that the cared only about saving themselves. They didn't care about the state of affairs at Altamont. They didn't care about the pile of crap they were handing the Stones, leaving them to hold the bag when the time came to find blame for a festival gone awry. If this concert had been in London, on the Stones' home turf, and they had walked out on the Grateful Dead under similar circumstances, nobody would have hesitated to blame the Stones for chickening out, and rightfully so. Well, at Altamont, this is what the Grateful Dead did. Have they ever answered for this? Have any of their fellow California musicians that performed that day ever answered the question about the impact of the bailing by the Grateful Dead? These other bands all bailed themselves, but at least they performed. In the end, The Grateful Dead high-tailed it out of Altamont to save their own skins, the Stones be damned and the rest of the crowd as well.
Great Post,and Spot on
People complained about 5$ concerts now there people paying a few 1000$s
I wouldn’t pay $1 to watch anyone live 😂
I don’t like crowds
I'd love to go to a 5 dollar concert
Jerry Garcia gave them the peace sign and left after recommending the Hells Angels 🤣
🤣
The end of 1960’s peace and love ended in December 6, 1969 at the Rolling Stone’s free concert at Altamont
It's rumored that Mick Jagger made a substantial payment to the Hell's Angels to call off the green light ⁉️
Butch was Clarence Addie “Butch” Crouch. A founding member of the Bandidos and a long standing member of the Cleveland chapter of the Hells Angels. One of the Dirty Thirty (a group of Angels that rumbled with the Breed MC at the Polish Womens Hall in 1971).
His claims can’t be verified.
He went into witsec along with his family.
For the full story I highly suggest listening to the podcast called, Relative Unknown by his daughter Jackee. Compelling stuff.
Butch, who was going under the name Paul Dome ended up unaliving his wife and stepson along with himself in Texas in 2013.
_"Unaliving"_ huh?
Good one
@@purdyboi8078 if I would have used the proper word my comment would have been removed and UA-cam would have threatened me with a ban. It’s already happened to me once.
Ive been to a few of festivals in the 2000s that have a biker club for security and they can be really unfriendly.
Music and poetry are supposed to cause the opposite of war and violence
With a song like 'sympathy for the devil' , I hardly believe anything of peace and love was the objective.
It sounds like the problem was people not being able to handle thier shit, not the Hells Angels.
The Rolling Stones had already used 50 Hells Angels to guard the stage on July 5th 1969 at their Hyde Park free concert in England and without any problems worth mentioning.
Not the same violent group that they are over here.
A generic watered down version of The Hells Angels.
I think it's funny that people are shocked 1%ers got wild, i mean what else were they expecting? Lol
From David A.Wood: Nice video as I am a diehard Rolling Stones fan. Additionally, I have heard of the infamous 1969 Altamont Speedway incident ever since August 1979 when I was fifteen-years-old. Therefore it is really nice the information on that crime totally discussed in full detail. Thanks and have a nice day (Monday, December 11, 2023).
I never heard of this before. Interesting stuff 👍🏻
Clumsy Hell's Angels move in silence. 💀
And the Tickets to a Stones concert are still expensive in 2024
Actually their last US tour was three years previously not five.
5 bucks for a ticket, ha ha, even then...hell man, that dude would be shittin' his pants if he had to buy a taylor ticket right now. Thank god I was in my concert heyday in the early 90's when they were still only 30. My kid still's never been to one, and probably never will due to the 500 price tags.
That's not how it happened, did you even see the video? The guy in the green suit was approaching the stage with the gun in his hand after being blocked from climbing on the stage, not that I'm defending the bikers , gangs are bad mkay
It's the 60s, peace and love! Why hire security 😂
They’re going on tour without the drummer, because… Well, he’s dead
Because the concert was not in San Francisco so the hells angels chapter was from Oakland and LA totally not the same chapter as the hippies of San Francisco. There was no assassination attempt that is just pure bs.
WRONG. FRisco Angels were there as well; you can clearly see Frisco patches on the front of the rockers in some of the guys in the video. And if you think Frisco HA are any less ruthless, than Oakland or other charters, well then, you're just an ignorant wretch.
1969
The Grateful Dead, We're Gone.
😂😂😂😂😂
ANDY WARHOL a tiny blonde weird artist NOPED the hells angels… Shit THAT is funny… got armed guards with automatic weapons on a compound in the Hamptons… Andy WARhol gangsta gangsta gangsta
ANDY WARHAWGWILD
Mick was punched before the concert, not during.
The last time Mick mattered
yeah, right.
So basically the hells angels were used as a scapegoat. I don’t blame them at all for their actions.
Respect H.A. and don't mess with them! If you show them Respect they will leave you alone but if you diss them. ..there is NO WHERE TO RUN! THESE ARE MEN! NOT BOYS!
they're dangerous children.
@@plasticweapon They are not children, they are men.
@@jasonjaxxson they're children. and psychopaths.
@plasticweapon Well let the record state, those are your words not mine

McJaggar sucks.
This happened like 50 years ago btw.
This was this past Tuesday thru Sunday actually
@@JustTryingToUA-camthey make it seem like it just happened with clickbait titles. It happened in 1969 after Woodstock.
Weren't you paying attention ? Did you just learn that the 1960's was 50 years ago ? Does this surprised you bud??? Were you bad in math and history or something ? Are you in grade school? Are you DAFT MAN !!!?
