I was there. Thumbed up from LA, spent the night before show on site, helping the riggers. Still the best live Stones show I've seen and I've seen dozens
A bit of trivia...The large black dude in the purple tie dyed T-shirt on the stage was Tony Funches, Jim Morrison's drinking buddy and personal bodyguard. He had been hired by The Stones to act as Jagger's security for the tour. At 1:58 you can see him on stage with what looks like plaster cast on his arm. Earlier in the day he had got into an altercation with two Hells Angels who were beating on people during the Jefferson Airplane set. They challenged him and he asked them if they'd like to settle it back stage so they did, and he knocked both of them out cold, breaking his own hand in the process, hence the bandage and splint. He was a boxer. The Angels learned this the hard way.
I was there. flew in from L.A. in the Early morning, Got to Altamont and there was already maybe 60 thousand or more. So I was standing behind the stage which was surrounded by trucks and at one point the HA who were watching the back went after someone who tried to get in on the side and I ducked under the trop and hauled ass between the trucks and crawled under the stage and ended up in front. Was there until it got incredibly violent and halfway through the second RS song I bailed. IN several scenes in the movie I can be seen in front and when Marty Balin jumped off the stage it was me he bowled over while stopping the HA from beating this black kid. Hitchhiked back to SF airport and was home in L.A. in bed 90 minutes later wondering why anyone would have "hired" the Hells Angels who did nothing but beat up people all day long.
This is a fair take on what happened that day . Actually I would rather spend all day in LA than be at this concert, a complete travesty of injustice to the people who went, and also you my friend
I will say this, thank God for the Maysles brothers and their work, so very talented they were...Saw the film when it first came out with 2 buddies, we were smoked up, at the Elmwood Ave, theatre in Providence, RI. 1970...
Maybe cuz we are 50 years older now and have to take a piss every hour - Can u imagine us seniors in the middle of that now or in middle of crowd at Woodstock by time u got back it would be time to go again 😂
Free Stones , Hells Angels MC as security getting paid with all the Beer they could drink 🍻, what could possibly go wrong lol love the dog walking across the stage is the highlight at3:46.
I spot at least10 cameras close to the stage-what happened to their photos? You can see Beth Bagby on the far right.She is in the crowd at several points. Her work should have gotten her the Pulitzer prize award!
@@boopah4365 whatever,it wasn't good & should have stopped,it was a recipe for disaster using the angels for security, possibly the craziest chapter that existed lol
@@boopah4365 I do hold the same opinion as you on that,if there wasn't a gun there wouldn't have been a death,but then I seen the recent altamont documentary on Amazon and he wasn't aiming it at the stage as I first thought,a journalist reported that he pulled it on an angel then Alan passaro finished hunter off,it wouldn't surprise me if the angels had a go at him All day, then he blew,he was just a kid who was high, tragic whatever happened,mad times lol
During Under My Thumb, at 11:38, bottom left screen a beautiful long brown haired chick pops out and waves her hair. Check her out, what a fucking gorgeous heartbrake!
This is the show known as "the day the music died" (American Pie- Mc Clean) because Jagger was dressed as devil and playing "Sympathy for the Devil ". Jagger also had on a red and black cap to complete his devil look. Also, the stage was lighted by 1 red light.
Wrong. The father, son and Holy Ghost....Holly, Richardson and Valens. The day the music died was Feb 2, 1959 not Dec 6 1969. Altamont was the day the 60's died, literally 3 weeks before the decade was done.
I am against violence of all kind, I am in the street every saturday against the sanatary pass , which is violence at his best, I repeat VIOLENCE AT THIS BEST , but I must admit that I love this music ... people who say that the RS are encouraging violence are wrong .. RS are just a fantatic band, doing fantastic music .. and Charlie Watts was their master... RIP Charlie !
Die Instrumente waren vorallem verstimmt. Es war der 6 Dezember und Winter. Mit der Technik der damaligen Zeit war das schwierig eine Harmonische Stimmung zu produzieren. Naja..Die Leute waren eh zugedröhnt, somit fiel das nicht so ins Gewicht. 😂
@@DXPunx74 I might be wrong but I have heard that it wasn't Sonny Barger, I think that someone posted a comment further below about how many people get him mixed up. 👍
I'd love to hear from anyone who was genuinely at Altamont in December 1969. Especially the dark haired girl with the tambourine, the blonde haired girl dancing behind the young woman who was crying (8:00 onwards), the young man who is staring at and saying things to Mick Jagger (dark curly hair and a cap and a suede type cowboy jacket), and the young guy who is on stage tripping. I know that it is 50 years ago, but most of the crowd look in their late teens, twenties and early thirties, so they would be between say 65 and 85 nowadays, and at least half of the crowd are likely to be alive.
With regret, I am the HA on the stage at 2:28. I was 22 but I look old. I got married in 1970, left the club and never looked back. Most of the Hells angles were acting like normal people including me but there were a handful that I didn’t know that ruined the whole thing. There were 4 prospects earlier in the day that were drifting around and rushing to the middle of fights so they could rough people up. I was behind the stage for the first couple of songs then was forced in the kneel next to the stage monitor pretty much for the rest of the concert starting after the incident that stoped Sympathy for the Devil. The film shows me there before that point but the film is completely mixed up. That incident was not primarily a fight but a motorcycle catching fire. That real cause to that incident was never told to the crowd not in that area so people started trying to destroy motorcycles parked next to the stage but out of view. The prospects and some fully patched members were on them right away and the news was told to Jagger during Keith’s guitar solo. He is looking at the crowd that way because he realized both sides were in the wrong. The face I made at 2:29 was definitely from another song. I’m having trouble remembering but I think Jagger completely butchered the words to a song. Through the concert I was brainwashed by other members not to like the stones but now I love them. Not the best part of my life.
@@dalesmith4026 I watched the movie the other night and thought that one biker, who you say is yourself actually seemed to be doing a good job! even earlier in the day during the Airplane;s set Grace is saying both sides are fucking up, stop fucking up! everyone wants to blame the HA's but really had someone been that quick with a knife when a crazed fan came at Dimebag Darrell with a gun, he'd still be alive. when you pull out a gun, all bets are off.
13:15 wtf that aggression was completely uncalled for that guy was just standing there tripping out completely not causing any trouble and not being in the way of anyone! I just heard of the altamont concert and the infamous incident and I was interested to learn more and from what I've seen it just seems like these angels from hell people or whatever they called themselves were being overly and often unprovokedly aggressive and violent the entire day, creating a very negative vibe among people who are already tripping and easily suggestible to negative vibes. A concert like that, full of drugged people needs security but that's not security, that's drunken bullying. They're creating a very tense environment. Those hell's people should not have been there and the performers should have hired proper security and maybe not paid them in fucking beer during the concert.
You couldn't have scripted a better climax to the 1960s than the drug-fueled orgy of sex and violence that occurred at a speedway outside of San Francisco in the winter of '69. Truly it was the total and absolute antithesis of the largely tranquil Woodstock "peace-in" of just four months earlier. Given Hollywood's love for the sensational drama, dilettantism, and rebellion of the '60s, I'm surprised no one has made a movie about the ordeal in the past fifty-five years!
I dont think it was winter of hate I think that’s how things always were, like violence and what not, believe it or not this concert was like the birth of the 70s, Led Zeppelin rock music through 70s and what not, you have to remember this is relatively peaceful because the Vietnam war was literally happening at the time of this concert, everyone at this concert was very over excited because it was free and plus there were not real cops or tickets or anything like that, the rollin stones hired the motorcycle gang Hells Angels to be the security and The Rolling Stones paid the hells angels In beer so in reality this was probably meant to have something go wrong and was honestly probably safer than Woodstock people had no food water or bathrooms for 3 days at that concert
Theyre the only ones protecting the stage and equipment. That guy got stabbed because he pulled a gun and pointed it at the stage. He was obviously high as hell. It probably would have been worse without them. They didn't hire any security. The Angels got beer in exchange for hanging out in front of the stage. They were never hired to do security. The deal was, hangout in front, protect the equipment and drink beer. Thats it.
I love the Stones , the Altamont movie was a revelation but it just showed the total impotence of Jagger and the Stones in this chaotic situation. Jagger shrinks to bring a child on stage surrounded by these people hell bent on violence . The Stones and Altamont truly showed how hollow and vacuous rock music is . The Altamont concert showed us all the emptiness of the event . The music is unimportant, the reactions are everything. For a band sold on its sexuality then the Stones are ultimately shown to be pointless castrati . The death of the 60s indeed .

What a surreptitious day, still tripping when I got there, found my way to the front of the stage along with the HA and crashed during most of the concert. The Stones arrived via helicopter... everytime they started Sympathy for the Devil.. violence broke out. Finally after the concert was called, I found some people from my hometown and caught a lift. Jagger should have stopped the madness. Mostly, it was a cool time to get your ya yas.
@@itsfatsensei2545 that's absurd, only a fool walks in with a pistol high on drugs, anyone with half a brain walks away if "harassed", and only a moron holds it up in the air, the self defense was the HA, duh...
Hells angels couldn’t have cared less who was playing. They just wanted to crack heads. If you look closely none of them were into the music they just looked at the crowd like wolves waiting to pounce.
Yes but things got out it hand ,when the stones came on ,every song the stones played ,the people went nuts , fighthing ,and the Angeles made things worse ,stones music ,Lsd ,alcohal ,and the hell's Angeles, bad mixed lol.
This all started when the Angels threw beer cans at some peoples heads. Jagger hired the club for security. Really ruined the clubs image and cool status.
They weren't hired as security. They got beer in exchange for standing on stage and protecting the equipment. The event had no security. That dude got stabbed because he was high and he pointed a gun at the stage. The Angels just took care of business. Imagine if they werent there. Someone might have been shot.
El desastre de Altamont, a causa de unos motociclistas inconsientes que golpearon a Martin Balin frontman de Jefferson Airplane, y asesinaron a Meredith Hunter,
Jagger did a good job there, surrounded by evil and racists. I heard someone had punched him when he'd arrived at the site. He could've just headed home with the rest of the Stones. RiP Meredith Hunter and Charlie Watts.
el grupo mas sobrevalorado dela historia nunca fueron genios ni tuvieron la calidad de los beatles que injustamente consideraban como sus rivales cuando no alcanzaron ni la mitad del exito alcanzado por los beatles, su estilo es monotomo ,todas su canciones suenan a lo mismo .
Disculpe, pero está muy equivocado. Los Stones siempre se han mostrado como una banda de rock básico, su elección. Los Beatles optaron por la música popular, aunque también hubo rock. Es difícil hacer una comparación en este sentido. Cuán importantes son Los Stones, entonces? Les puedo asegurar que hicieron casi todo lo que tenían que hacer con el rock básico. Es por eso que incluso durante los años sesenta, comienzan a aparecer otras variedades como The Who, precursores del punk, el Zepelín, etc. Intenta saber mejor lo que hicieron y verás que su música no es tan monótona como crees.

Meredith Hunter (RIP), the person who was killed, is the black boy in the green jacket. Minute 9:47
Intoxicated black man who wanted to kill Mick Jagger. Shit.
9:43..Meredith Hunter..you can see he's out of his mind...He ends up waving a gun around what else do you expect to happen?
He prob got hit by a pool cue
He was being harassed by the Hell's Angels, he pulled the gun in self-defence
@@itsfatsensei2545 that's absurd, only a fool walks in with a pistol high on drugs, anyone with half a brain walks away if "harassed", and only a moron holds it up in the air, the self defense was the HA, duh...
You can see him getting stabbed at the end of the video 14:16
@@itsfatsensei2545 yeah I don't see any of that..I go by what I see.
Hells angels couldn’t have cared less who was playing. They just wanted to crack heads. If you look closely none of them were into the music
they just looked at the crowd like wolves waiting to pounce.
The most peaceful performance of the day was the country band. The Flying Burrito Brothers.
Yes but things got out it hand ,when the stones came on ,every song the stones played ,the people went nuts , fighthing ,and the Angeles made things worse ,stones music ,Lsd ,alcohal ,and the hell's Angeles, bad mixed lol.
This all started when the Angels threw beer cans at some peoples heads. Jagger hired the club for security. Really ruined the clubs image and cool status.
They weren't hired as security. They got beer in exchange for standing on stage and protecting the equipment. The event had no security. That dude got stabbed because he was high and he pointed a gun at the stage. The Angels just took care of business. Imagine if they werent there. Someone might have been shot.
The stones have nothing to do with the hiring ,I think ,but was the dead idea to hire the Angeles, they recommend to stones management.
@@josehborba3004 The Stones used them before this...
For Nick the bastard...for luck....
Night time December
December nights! Chillin while thrillin out with the wild spirited ones at large!
Let it not be a boring concert!
bad idea bringing HA
Bad idea messing with HA bikes, and not being able to handle your shit in general...
Not for Manson...the blody seventies were at the door....
reminds me of the youth killed by police at a dead concert..guy acted loony but non violent.
Hat aber auch ein paar ganz üble Kreaturen gehabt an dem Konzert. So eine Organisation kann man sich heute gar nicht mehr vorstellen..
he who? what creatures?
El desastre de Altamont, a causa de unos motociclistas inconsientes que golpearon a Martin Balin frontman de Jefferson Airplane, y asesinaron a Meredith Hunter,
Vibes so thoroughly rotten they reverberate across time and space. Shame, because the Stones' playing and the arrangements are fantastic.
Obviously the drugs were too good.
Ironic they were playing sympathy for the devil during the murder
Apparently they were not the murder happened at the end of the of under my thumb in this video at the very end
Seems like a ritual sacrifice to me, some kind of Psyop or something.
Any black helicopters over your house?
Jagger did a good job there, surrounded by evil and racists. I heard someone had punched him when he'd arrived at the site. He could've just headed home with the rest of the Stones. RiP Meredith Hunter and Charlie Watts.
You have zero proof to call anyone a "racist"
el grupo mas sobrevalorado dela historia nunca fueron genios ni tuvieron la calidad de los beatles que injustamente consideraban como sus rivales cuando no alcanzaron ni la mitad del exito alcanzado por los beatles, su estilo es monotomo ,todas su canciones suenan a lo mismo .
Disculpe, pero está muy equivocado. Los Stones siempre se han mostrado como una banda de rock básico, su elección. Los Beatles optaron por la música popular, aunque también hubo rock. Es difícil hacer una comparación en este sentido. Cuán importantes son Los Stones, entonces? Les puedo asegurar que hicieron casi todo lo que tenían que hacer con el rock básico. Es por eso que incluso durante los años sesenta, comienzan a aparecer otras variedades como The Who, precursores del punk, el Zepelín, etc. Intenta saber mejor lo que hicieron y verás que su música no es tan monótona como crees.
El grupo mas sobrevalorado de la historia es los Beatles.
The only black guy at that concert and he managed to get himself killed...
Not the only one ,at 9:10 there’s a guy with a white hat trying to tell de people to sit down it’s a black guy
