@@deemika Everyone knows that!! I said how the hell they were allowed to take over the mike several times is unbelievable let alone get up on the stage!! Are you aware one of the Angels punched Marty Balin in the face (of Jeffersen Airplane) and knocked him unconscious WHILE HE WAS PERFORMING? It's unbelievable.
What a song choice, Sympathy for the Devil, nothing like that song to get that vibe going! This wasn't Going to San Francisco with flowers in my hair!, This song kicked it all off, the chaos is coming
The only one that was the coolest at the concert was the German Shepherd walking across the stage. I’m sure he said to himself “ these humans are facked “
This film is a great argument for responsible law and order in society- if there were professional security guards at this concert, it would merely be remembered as a poorly organized one-day festival. Moreover, there is an atmosphere of people sinking into drugs, sex and despair throughout it (not to mention the sociopathic violence of the Angels). Altamont seems to be the dark mirror of the pleasant libertine atmosphere of Woodstock- and only 4 months later. It seems as though the dreams of 65-67 in Frisco had already died by December of 69 - this is just the funeral.
Wow how prophetic is your statement!! Look a year later and we have all the riots and a defund the Police movement! Watching this I was thinking this is what we would get!
Tommy Baggerman, it was probably not the brightest idea to hire the Hell's Angels as security guards and pay them with beer! However, the mood of the crowd was much more skittish, darker and less peaceful than at Woodstock. It's surprising that there haven't been more tragedies. It's wrong to blame everything on the Hell's Angels!
@Albert Dibari , we cannot know for sure what kind of intentions Meredith Hunter really had. Considering that he was loaded with meth he himself might not have known what he wanted to do. Maybe, he didn't intend to shoot at the Stones. But when Hunter pulled that loaded gun it could have ended in a disaster! It's very possible that Alan Passaro prevented a blood bath and a panic reaction of the large crowd. However, he seems to have overreacted when he stabbed Hunter five times into the back. As soon as Hunter was pinned to the ground and the gun was secured, Passaro should've stopped. But we shouldn't forget he wasn't a trained professional security guard. It's hard to know when enough is enough! I have a huge problem with the idea that Hunter was a victim of latent racism, and that he might not have been stabbed to death if he had been white. There's no indication at all that this is true. Hunter was only 18 years old, and his death is very tragic - but when he took all this meth and pulled a loaded gun in a crowd of 300000 people, he may have signed his own death warrant. That said, it wasn't a very bright Idea to use the Hell's Angels as security guards - exactly because they weren't trained to handle very dangerous situations like this professionally!
@Albert Dibari , why do you blame solely the Stones? When they were playing they definitely tried to de-escalate the situation. I think that there are many factions which are responsible for the disaster, because the whole event was so poorly planned and organized. The Altamont Speedway wasn't suited for an event which would draw such a large crowd, the stage was too low and the Hell's Angels weren't trained security stuff. Having them there with their bikes and paying them with beer was asking for trouble! But to be fair to the Stones who were very naive - the Grateful Dead , who were originally scheduled to play, too, had recommended to use the Hell's Angels who were their buddies! Unfortunately the Stones didn't know a lot about the mentality of the American Hell's Angels. The British wannabe Hell's Angels who had helped the Stones to guard a free concert in London's Hide Park, were very different from the American Angels! I think that there is not a sole culprit! But while the experience of latent racism throughout his life may have motivated Meredith Hunter to bring the gun in the first place, I do not think that his death can be explained by racism. When Hunter pulled that loaded gun, he turned himself into a huge security threat and he needed to be taken care of in order to prevent a looming blood bath. We will never know if the outcome would've been different if he had been white! It's interesting, though, that the short version of the Altamont tragedy goes like that : "The Stones were playing "Sympathy For The Devil" which motivated the Hell's Angels to murder a young man because he was black. And The Stones didn't even stop playing because they didn't care!" But non of these statements is true! The truth is much more complicated!
Yes, that was Sonny Barger. He was the leader of the Oakland chapter of the Hells Angels. The next day he went on a radio station with Stephen Ponick, ksan I believe. He ranted for a long time on air and was pissed at Mick Jagger. Soon after the angels put out a hit on Mick. What you saw was pure hatred.
Chip Monck! These were the wild west days of Rock n roll, I fell in love with girl at 7:29 , Stones didn't hit stage till midnight, Why do people feel the need to take their clothes off? Dumb move, RIP Marty Balen
Why are so romantic about that era?? Leaders being shot, racial discrimination was rampant and a war half the world away that treated American kids like a meat grinder.
Just to clarify once and for all as I see this error constantly - the Angel on stage is NOT Sonny Barger! The Angel staring at Mick is the President of the San Francisco Chapter of the HA's - Bob Roberts. He has FRISCO on the front of his Cut! It was Frisco Pete (Pete Knell) who lost out the Presidency of the Frisco HA's to Roberts who took the $500 beer money from the Stones manager, Cutler ... and agreed that the HA's would sit on the edge of the stage and stop people fucking with the Generators. That was all ... Barger was there with other California Angels but it was the Frisco Angels President, Bob Roberts, who was in charge of the stage Security when the Stones played, along with a bunch of Patch Over prospects from a nearby Club that were there to prove their worth to the Frisco Chapter. You can see the Prospects wearing plain brown Cuts ... some with no logo on the back, some with only a Rocker and not Full Patch. These were Frisco Prospects and the HA (Alan Passaro) that killed Meredith Hunter was that night a Prospect for the Frisco HA's. Bob Roberts later stated that Pete Knell had no right to take money and make a deal with the Stones for the concert in the name of the Frisco HA's since at that time he was no longer President. The Frisco HA's along with Bob Roberts informed the OTHER HA Clubs about the event and they in turn showed up during the day. In earlier footage of the day you can see Barger's crew actually helping and guiding people off the stage (Earlier performances) and not being violent - things got nasty because people in the crowd began knocking their Bikes over and getting out of control near the stage - the deal was that the Angels were to keep people from encroaching on the stage and that's what they did.
@@filippocorti6760 Read it again ... yes Bob Roberts was the real name of the President of the Frisco HA's ... Pete Knell was the EX President who recently lost the Presidency to Bob Roberts. Why he lost it? The usual stuff ...

Having met Marty Balin and Jack Cassidy a few times when I worked at Skipper's Smokehouse, I can say for sure Balin was too small to be jumping into that crowd. They were the best sounding band that day though, at least up to a point.
Rocker Girl Stones played in Buffalo, NY 6 times Led Zeppelin 2 times, That Buffalo called SNOW CAPITAL OF USA. True Lake Erie dumps 10-12 feet every winter. Buffalo is lucky Niagara Falls is close for Vistors Niagara Falls gets 5 million visitors every year. Hate to say this Buffalo is one unlucky City. All the Snow 4 lost Superbowls, known as a big drinking town, bars open ill 4am. That might be Buffalo has a large IRISH Population. 1 good thing were called MIAMI of the NORTH we get a lot of 90 degree days in summer. our summers are only 3 months long. It drives me nuts why Buffalo gets the most snow of all other Citys near 5 Great Lakes
Man oh man, was thinking about Grace sticking up for HA. What a freaking travesty. I managed to work my way up to the front of the concert, with a little help from my brothers and sisters. What a beautiful day, look at the happy faces, but it just takes a few to ruin it for all. Don't sweat it Mick
So, Marty got to bond with the Angels and got an initiation and lived to talk about it later, and made it into a historical event! It will be talked about for decades, because here we are, doing just that, brothers and sisters! Hi Mick, still rooster dancing after all these years!
They used the British Angles in Hyde Park before this. Though the USA version are known to be a lot tougher than the British version from what the books say anyway. In any case this is not the first time The Stones had them do security.
A 14:07, lors de l'incident au bord de la scène, on voit le hell's de type latino (porteur de bouc) qui était impliqué dans la bagarre sur la scène de Jefferson air plane, avec les queues de billard.
The only negative violence was around the front 15 ft of the stage....no where else...I was 100 ft. back and sat down all day...until the Stones came on in darkness...and we all had to stand up.....and was forced to move forward....and lost my stuff including my sleepbag for the night before...and I was able to grab my camera and recording device.

Less than 5 years later California Jam 74 went by with practictally no problems what a contrast to this mabbe because at the same moment as Altamont was happening on the 0ther side of the world the war in Vietnam was at its bloody peak
When I went to see motley Crue in 83 in Lynn Massachusetts the angels came thru and they were the coolest people at the show I mean we didn't have people tripping on bad acid lol
I cant believe its 50 yrs when this disastrous concert happened in Altamont. It was the most terrible disaster in rock n roll 60s history, fans got ran over in their sleeping bags by cars, multiple births in the concert, multiple cars were abandonded & stolen, multiple went for medical from bad drugs to blisters, a youth drowned when he fell into a swiftly moving irrigation canal, multiple got killed in hit & run, multiple were injured & also there was an extensive property damage at altamont, & not to mention multiple people got high on drugs become violent by fighting while the stones perform & tried to tell fans to stop but then finally couldn't stop & some fan name meredith carried a gun to shoot the stones & finally the members of the hell's angels stab him in self defense.😱😱😱😱 I was like shocked when I saw the old footage in that documentary film "GIMME SHELTER"
3 deads and some woundeds...could go in a very worst way...300 hundred thousand people absolutely out of control...drugs, rivers of alcool...believe me....
The Angels got a bad rap for Altamont. The crowd was way too close to the stage. The Stones wanted a scary environment and that's exactly what they got
I saw a couple of the so called organizers (?) of Woodstock at this festival. Altamont seems to have suffered from their incompetence, with a murder thrown in for good measure. And what a brilliant idea to have the Hells Angels for security eh ?! What a shambles.
Gisel Chaviano It was the Dead that told the stones that Angels were good at doing the security because of past concerts the Hells Angels worked for the Dead. So in return , the Stones picked the Angels and the price was right. Angels were paid in beer during the concert. A sign of the times that went horribly wrong.
@@Noahsoak the band the Grateful Dead recommended that the Hells Angels work as Security at Altamont because they had done successful Security Jobs at previous Grateful Dead concerts in the past. That's how it came about. Also , the Angels agreed to be paid in beer. Cheap price for this magnitude.
No HA showed, appointed themselves, Stones didn't "hire" them. In those days for a short time HA considered benevolent, cover of Cheap Thrills album by Crumb etc, they killed a black guy somewhere in this video, after beating Marty Balin, easy rider cowboy hat
@@jtbynum5291 yes but during this time the stones were the greatest most spectacular band in the world ,it wouldnt have matter ,most of the crowd ,especially in the front. were wired up lit up on drugs ,acid alcahol etc .,when the stones came on hell broke lose.
the counter cultural hippies of the 60s sang about peace, love, togetherness, harmony, flowers and love, the stones sang about war, sex, violence, the devil, death, the counter culture was against stars what were the stones, just saying like,
Altmont. Rapresented anarchy triumph in a negative sense, the only one possibile...no possibile put together 250000 persons without services A stage 7 feets high, a security service of psicopatics. How is possibile to arrive in front of the stage with their bikes without problems? I believe that one dead for that day has been the only result possible.
For some reason I am fascinated by the dancing at 9:50 . I guess at least a few HA's were chillin.
Great to hear your still kicking it, you have a lot of soul❤
Those faces looking up at Jagger in adoration at 13:51 remind me of a detail from a Hieronymus Bosch Painting.
"Why???... Let's get along, man!"
How the Hells Angels got hold of the mike at several times is unbelievable.
@ceedub619cameraman3 It was a figure of speech. Ofcourse I believe it! I meant that it is beyond belief! Appalling!
They were secretly and they didn't take any shit
They were hired to provide Security for $500 worth of beer.
@@deemika Everyone knows that!! I said how the hell they were allowed to take over the mike several times is unbelievable let alone get up on the stage!!

Well said. Personally I'm convinced that it was a ritual just like Don McLean suggested in "American Pie."
People sinking into drugs and sex? Drugs and sex are as rampant today as they were back then.
There were plenty of sociopaths in the audience...

The Grateful Dead referred the Hells Angels as a security force for the concert.
The biggest mistake was also to pay them with beer.

weird to see a german shepard cross the stage at 10:35, give me process church vibes.
the riot that caused spencer to jump from his airplane..bye bye dryden.
Hippies vs the Angels..pick'em..Marty Balin, of Jefferson Airplane got wacked over the head by a hell's angel; they walked off the stage.
I saw a couple of the so called organizers (?) of Woodstock at this festival. Altamont seems to have suffered from their incompetence, with a murder thrown in for good measure. And what a brilliant idea to have the Hells Angels for security eh ?!
What a shambles.
Not to mention the stage was like 4 feet high
It wasn't really a murder, since the guy pulled a gun and was trying to rush the stage.
Fucked up that the Stones used Hell’s Angels as security. Really?
Gisel Chaviano It was the Dead that told the stones that Angels were good at doing the security because of past concerts the Hells Angels worked for the Dead. So in return , the Stones picked the Angels and the price was right. Angels were paid in beer during the concert. A sign of the times that went horribly wrong.
Gisel Chaviano whose idea was that?! Yikes.
@@Noahsoak the band the Grateful Dead recommended that the Hells Angels work as Security at Altamont because they had done successful Security Jobs at previous Grateful Dead concerts in the past. That's how it came about. Also , the Angels agreed to be paid in beer. Cheap price for this magnitude.
No HA showed, appointed themselves, Stones didn't "hire" them. In those days for a short time HA considered benevolent, cover of Cheap Thrills album by Crumb etc, they killed a black guy somewhere in this video, after beating Marty Balin, easy rider cowboy hat
gisel....deads idea...for hells angels.the concert was there idea too!
It seems like it wouldve been an alright time if you just werent anywhere near the stage
Idaho was more wasted here, the band or the crowds. Wow.
Ohio. The crowd.
Les hello avait pas la vedette ça me jaguars à pas penser à ça
10:50 Sad
That concert was a disaster and deadly in the front row.
Daniel Callahan a complete shit show
@@jtbynum5291 yes but during this time the stones were the greatest most spectacular band in the world ,it wouldnt have matter ,most of the crowd ,especially in the front. were wired up lit up on drugs ,acid alcahol etc .,when the stones came on hell broke lose.
the counter cultural hippies of the 60s sang about peace, love, togetherness, harmony, flowers and love, the stones sang about war, sex, violence, the devil, death, the counter culture was against stars what were the stones, just saying like,
insincere they were...those hippie bands...but mick has incited a spirit here.
the ginnstumunitiononists ,,.. ,.. ,..
4:20 - The Hell's Angels just beat up Allen Ginsberg.
The the dog was on acid.
Couldn't they think of any other Security? The Hells Angels had short fuses. Poorly organized. Crowds were way too close to the stage.
Eu não estava lá, mas agora tô . 💧
Altmont. Rapresented anarchy triumph in a negative sense, the only one possibile...no possibile put together 250000 persons without services
A stage 7 feets high, a security service of psicopatics. How is possibile to arrive in front of the stage with their bikes without problems? I believe that one dead for that day has been the only result possible.
Cool party. Shit happens.
Grace Slick is so cool.
I've read she'd forgotten her contact lenses and could see a thing that day, everything was a severe blur.
Things were f $ckd. Up. 🖤 🇺🇲
MARTY BALIN JUMPED OFF STAGE AT 3 MINUTE AREA...THEN HE GOT HIT...BY AN ANGEL.
DEAD ARRIVE AND DECIDE NOT TO GO ON.
Descontrol ...!!!
