I agree. I am a huge Stones fan, but this was destined to be a disaster . However, as piss poor an idea it was to hire the Angels as "security ", they may have saved someone's life by taking out Meridith. Lose lose situation. Death of the 60's.
The sheer terror on jagger face when that spaced- out Wolfman started freaking out right in front of jagger is priceless!!!-- good thing the angels saved his ass!!!
Yes, people forget that the Angels saved the stones lives a number of times. What if the gunman hadn't been disarmed? Rock history could have taken a tragic turn that night.
@@jeannemariagriffin5820 Fake news. Do some research on how it went down. Their was no "saving" of Mick's life. They were saving their own asses after beating on Hunter and he pulled a gun on them to try to stop them.
This concert marked the end of the peace and love movement it died with that black kid in the green suit. Heavy metal was born that night and we never looked back long live rock
@@duncefunce1513 Read many stories and books on this concert. The lead up to the stabbing had the Hell's Angels beating on Meredith Hunter as he was trying to either get closer to the stage, or it was because he simply had a white girlfriend. Who knows in this madness. He was high, like 300,000 other people. He was getting hit by multiple Angels and he pulled his gun to try to shoot one. No one ever connect hunter having intentions of shooting at the stage. He was just watching the show like others. A lot of people got their heads cracked that day, including Marty Balin of the Jefferson Airplane. The Angels didn't need an excuse. It was a bunch of Prospects from outside chapters doing most of the head cracking, not the San Francisco Angels who were friends of the Dead and Airplane.
@@teleguy5699the thing about him having a white girlfriend being the cause is BS. I know people that were friends with some of the Hells Angels and they always maintained it was Meredith that was being the aggressor. I heard the story from multiple people & it was always the same. I heard an old Hells Angel talk about it on UA-cam & he had the same story I’d always heard. If the Hells Angels were out of line these bands, barring Jefferson Airplane, wouldn’t have continued using them for security let alone be friends with them.
@@LudiCrust. You heard it from "people that were friends with some of the Hells Angels". What do you think they were going to say? There was a trial going on. Look, maybe or maybe not, but the Angels, (mostly prospects trying to impress the club) did not need reasons to thump people. Also, the Dead were friends with the San Fran chapter of the Angels. Everyone knows it was groups from San Jose and such and their prospects that the Dead didn't even know did most of the damage. The SF chapter guys were hanging with the band, especially Keith backstage at his trailer and on the stage mostly having a decent time and not really involved one way or another with the fighting as Sam Cutler asked one of them if he could stop them and the guy said, hey, some people just like to bust heads, and did a line of coke with him and walked away. The dude with the animal hat. Just saying that Hunter got caught up in one of many tussles and drew his gun at the Angels, not the Stones. Why in the middle of a fight would you randomly pull a gun and try to shoot some other person you aren't fighting with?
4:01 Werewolf dude is def on acid, picking up on all the bad vibes. He's become a receptacle for the seething negativity permeating the event. I've experienced this exact sort of thing while tripping on acid at concerts that had super bad mojo going around.
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. Passaro also stopped Mick Jagger becoming a dead singer ...
Are you sure that the angel in question was not Ralph (Sonny) Barger?...i'm sure that near Keith Richards there was Terry the Tramp and another angel that had his face covered by an animal face....
@@gregbernstein6430 The one thing he didn't mention, well a few things, but he got it better than most people is; The Angel parked their bikes in front of that tiny 3 foot stage and by many accounts, when the Stones took the stage, people rushed to the front to get closer. What do you expect to happen to the bikes? They should have parked the in back of the stage as there was a line of tractor trailers making a buffer zone backstage. One of many things not thought out very well.
You ve got to love Mick, the shrewdest, most cynical guy ever, trying to talk hippie jargon to calm a crowd of drunk speedfreaks and feisty stoned Keith, probably cringing at mick’s “ brothers and sisters “ rap, ready to add himself to the fracas. BUT the bootleg reveals a kick ass performance under duress. They actually played a strong show.
Only perpetual adolescents love Mick Jagger, the Rock "Bad Boy" who has a queasy stomach for violence and is so naive as to think Hell's Angels can be placated by his Church Lady bit. 550,000 GIs were in Vietnam that night, doing the heavy lifting for a generation of spoiled children.
Thing is the Stones did a free show in England before this. 150,000 people showed up from what i heard there was no violence, and no problems whatsoever. Whoever set up the logistics for this Alamonte speedway free show for the Stones obviously fucked up royally on all levels. A true tragedy that didn't need to happen.
KLB, I agree - and I don't like the last shot of Mick's at all! It suggests that Mick and the Stones are the sole culprits! That's clearly wrong. This nightmare built up slowly and had multiple reasons!
Y'all too stupid to get that Mick Jagger is an arrogant, spineless and clueless bum, his pathetic simpering to a mad crowd shows for all to see his real impotence and terrible judgement, the HA had been beating up people before the Stones got there, he should have bailed when he had the chance but he really wanted to prance. The black shadow of the "Love Generation" still poisons our society. To think we had 550 thousand soldiers in Vietnam, dying every day while this was going on makes me want to puke. Jagger has never been cool, he's a poser.

@@zampieritto Wasn't the problem, or a big part of it, was that the Stones were used to dealing with the HA's in England and were taken by surprise when they discovered American HA's were a totally different breed of cat?
@@ac9110 That was Sonny Barger who saw him take off his colors and let them hit the deck. I only could imagine that angel was cast out of 81 heaven... LOL
Hells Angels, I'm sure its amphetemines and booze then against the acid heads of Frisco, With some hard rockin music for a soundtrack. All the ingredients for mayhem.
Hammer44head, I agree! This was totally different from Woodstock. And the music of the Stones is not exactly peaceful and calming! It's a fitting soundtrack for the scenes of violence at Altamont, which was heading towards a disaster from the very beginning. It was a "Bitches Brew" - pun intended! It's actually surprising that there weren't more casualties!
The event was also very badly organized! The Stones had decided to give a free concert very late into their US Tour, because they have been criticized for the high prices for the tickets. And originally the concert was supposed to be in the Golden Gate Park. But this wasn't greenlighted, and it was decided just three days before the concert to use the Altamont race track, although it wasn't very well suited for a concert which would draw such a big crowd: the areal was sloped towards the location where the stage was set up. This had the effect that the crowd naturally gravitated towards the stage, which was also unusually low. Throw the Hell's Angels, alcohol, speed, a just 18 years old guy with a loaded gun and high on meth into the pot, add the right soundtrack - and it's almost guaranteed that it will boil over! It is always mentioned that the victim Meredith Hunter was a black guy, while the fact that he was high on meth and drew a loaded gun is often mentioned as a mere afterthought. I suspect that it was the other way round: the Angels had to take him out in order to prevent a blood bath, but they might have overreacted because Hunter was black. I also wonder if the Angels were subconsciously pissed off because Hunter had a white girlfriend. And it's possible that Hunter felt he needed a gun for protection because he was black, and the concert crowd as well as the Hell's Angels were predominantly white. The tragedy had many causes, and it's wrong to reduce Hunter's death to a simple black vs. white antagonism.
@@davisworth5114 , I don't understand your question. I clearly stated that I think the main reasons for the Altamont disaster were picking an unsuitable location, bad organizarion, employing the Hells Angels for security services, although they had no training whatsoever ,and paying them with beer!. And when Meredith Hunter whose judgement was impaired by a high quantity of meth, pulled a gun, he created a very dangerous situation for himself and everybody else. The Hell's Angels had to react. That's what they were hired for. There's a long list of facts which led to Hunter's death. Most of the facts I named had nothing to do with racial tensions. But it's possible that Hunter, who as far as I know, had no history of violence, felt the need to bring a gun because he had been warned before the concert that there could be problems because he was black. It's also possible that the Hell's Angels may have overreacted when Hunter was pinned down onto the floor because he was black. But we will never know what would've happened if Hunter had been a white guy! I clearly said that there were many reasons why the Altamont disaster happened!
Danke! Wir können leider nicht wie geplant an die holländische Nordseeküste fahren. Das Ferienhaus unserer Freunde liegt zwar abgelegen, und wir wollten selber kochen - aber leider wird an den Grenzen mittlerweile kontrolliert , und die Nummernschilder werden fotografiert. Und das würde bedeuten, dass wir um eine 14 tägige Quarantäne nicht herumkommen würden - auch wenn die Wahrscheinlichkeit, sich hier in Hannover auf der Lister Meile oder im Supermarkt anzustecken, vermutlich höher als an der Nordseeküste ist. Aber die Regeln existieren nun mal, und wenn kontrolliert wird, ist bei Nichtbeachtung das Risiko, dass man erwischt wird, zu groß! Deshalb fahren wir gleich zu dem Haus unserer Freunde in Nordrhein-Westphalen. Dort ist es auch schön :) Ich melde mich später noch mal!
Stones arguably better live than recorded, Taylor and Richards give it a vibe that hasn't been repeated since imo, best lineup, even though Brian Jones is my favourite stone
I was there hiked in the night before and hiked out the morning after. The whole concert as a whole was unbelievable! I was on a hill back from the stage with a great view. The fighting was awful but as long as you were not right up front, the only issue was the music being stopped a couple of times. The man that was kilked because he pulled a gun on a Hells Angel. I was woke up in the morning of the festival at sunset by Carlos Santana playing a solo his guitar. The rest of the day was an awesome music scene, with one band after another. The stage area could have been handled better but it was not for the life of me I still to this day do not understand why people kept charging the stage. That was what caused all the fighting. Over all i had the time of my life and am so glad I went! ✌️😎
Was shite, way to slow needed to ramp up the tempo. No one was dancing, just pushing and shoving. What the fuk was Mr.Green thinking??? My reckoning is he was looking for a quick way out or looking to put harm on others, standing in amongst the boys then pulling a weapon out. Condolences to the family. Nothing to do with race, his intent was premeditated from the start the silly young fuk.
By now the mayhem around the "stage" has begun. Can you really call a 3 foot high structure a stage? Something as simple as that stage height may have been the root of all the problems: all day people were pushing at it and trying to get onto it. The Hells Angels were taking each attempt personally. Had the stage been higher, who knows how much different things would have been..... There is a Meredith Hunter sighting at 1:46. He is standing upright by the stage, maybe a little high, unmistakable in his lime green suit. Then at 6:15 is the remarkable footage of him getting stabbed.
Oh man, this had disaster written all over it from the start. Just by watching this video, you can feel the unstableness of the crowd. The Woodstock crowd looked totally different. Maybe more higher than this one? Idk. Thanks for the comment!
@@Scottocaster6668 So so true.....The crowd tends to act as ''one'', like some creature.....It ceases to be individuals when it is rammed together like that. I'd have hated tripping in that morass of edgy people..
It wasn't their idea. They had very little to do with the organisation of the concert. The Grateful Dead were already planning a free concert along with The Jefferson Airplane. The Stones hitched onto the idea thinking it would be a good way to end their American tour. It was The Dead's manager Rock Scully who suggested that the hells angels be used as 'security'. I believe The Stones were like, Uh, well, it worked at Hyde Park so why not...different kind of hells angel in the UK. No one is really to blame. It was a balls up from the get go. If it had been held in Golden Gate Park, which was the original venue, this wouldn't have happened.
@@AnthonyMonaghan Just imagine what the Black Panthers would have done to a White dude if he pulled a gun at a Jimi Hendrix concert. Same motherfucking thing. Back in the day this is how bad actors were taken care of. Instead of talking to them and coddling them, the security fucked them up as example to the crowd that pulling out revolvers in front of hundreds of people WILL NOT BE TOLERATED for one fucking second. Dude had it coming. In those days you just didn't take your White girlfriend to a rock concert that the Hell's Angels were charged with keeping the peace. Oh well, you fuck with the rattlesnake and the son of a bitch is going to eventually bite you.
The gun wasn't loaded. Merideth Hunter had already been beaten in the face by HA's for sitting on a stack of speakers. He was carrying it to ward off problematic A holes like them. He was running for his life when he was taken down. He wasn't going to shoot anyone and he damn sure didn't deserve to die. It's a goddam shame.
It is said the Merideth never fired, or aimed his gun at the stage. He only pulled it out in self defense from being attacked by the HA.. Just like so many others were.
Exactly. The urban legend that has grown that the Angel "saved" Mick's life is bs. They were beating on Hunter and all Hunter could do was pull his gun out.
@@LudiCrust. There are people everywhere. it would be impossible to not have somebody cross the muzzle line. He still has a right to defend himself from violent attack. Exactly like Mr. Rittenhouse did.
@@LudiCrust. You're right, but tragically, I believe he was pointing it at the Angels he was fighting with, and they get off scot free as heroes where all day some of them were just bashing heads. Not all, but enough to make me figure, if the Angels started beating my ass and I had a gun, that is an equalizer when it's usually 5 guys pounding on one person with pool cues. Isn't that what all the 2A people say?
Check the HA behind Hunter when he’s shown on the side/ front of the stage. Supposedly Hunter had been attacked before this.He doesn’t look agitated at this point, just trying to get up close. According to the main witness who was a very brave and honest person this is when the HA started pulling his hair and ear and punched Hunter in the mouth and they started chasing him. I really don’t think he is with his girlfriend at this point and he pulls out the gun to scare the HA away. As he gets beside Patty look at the bottom of the screen and you see the angel keying in on his movements and when he gets passed Patty he is ready to stab Hunter. He never stood a chance, and when they started the beating and face kicking he was doomed. The witness said he was three feet away when all this went down and helped carry him to the stage .Joel Selvin said there’s pictures of him being put upon the stage, well it certainly isn’t in the movie. You would have seen his green suit which stood out so brightly unless that was cut completely out. The B/W pictures do not show it.I have researched this whole thing for years and there isn’t a lot about it except the movie , books which are just rehash of what we know and now this latest book by Joel which was well written but when you see his interviews he gets all worked up and I am not impressed. He is not sincere and Sam Cutler is making it up as he goes to cover his ass. There I’ve said it and let’s stop with the telling over and over again that Hunter was high on meth. Everyone was high on something and if you ever went to a dance or concert and had a gang after you for nothing or your race and you had a pistol what would you do. There was nothing for protection because the protection is trying to kick your head in. It’s a scary feeling , Rock Scully said he saw him charge the stage 2-3 times and aim his gun at Jagger, bull crap ! He was running to be saved and no body would help him so theygrabbed him and took him back into the dark ! All this is on film that has either been destroyed or in hiding. RIP Merideth Curly Hunter
I've been searching for more truthful info on what went down and what you're saying makes more sense and sounds way more accurate than the BS I've seen and heard thus far. Thank you. RIP Merideth Hunter...
Julie if you read the story by Chip Monk he reveals how he designed the stage and where he had it placed it very interesting. He also argued with the HA about the stage carpet he wanted returned and they knocked his front teeth 🦷 out . He finally had to barter with Sonny to get it back ! If you have anything to share on this subject Julie I’d love to read/ see it ,seeing we are on the same page. Thanks
A large group of pool cue wielding Hell's Angels on the powerful pharmaceutical grade amphetamines of the era & unlimited beer were more or less impervious to small caliber pistol rounds.
Just Sad - it Seems Crazy that Anyone thought that could work out! If this had not happened, I STILL Wouldn't go to a show with Hells Angles being the Security!!
The Hells Angels aren't really there for security, that's bullshit! They're there for free beer and smoke, to pick up chicks and who's going to stop them from getting in free?
The angels were too drunk, and those who weren't full fledged were also pledges and were also given booze so the situation even in the angles sphere wasn't good from the start either
I'm shocked. I knew it was bad but crikey!!! What a dampener to the end of the 60s. How the Stones even played is beyond me. Can anyone tell me if they finished their set or just left?
That guy doing his big drama routine until Sonny barger sees him then he gets thrown off lol That chopper had 16 people in it, way over loaded could have crashed easy
It’s obvious from the footage that Alan Passaro acted in self defense. That punk in green went there intentionally to do harm. Passaro probably saved several more lives when he took that creep out. Glad he was exonerated.
MAN I WAS STANDING ABOUT 30 FEET TO THA RIGHT FACING INTO AUDIENCE FROM STAGE .AT THIS CONCERT. O. MAN THE MEMORIES. MY BIGGEST MEMORY. WAS 2 HIPPY CHIKS .I PARTIED WITH ALL NITE. AFTER CONCERT.

here's a question to consider.....what were Mr Meredith's motives bringing a gun to the concert in the first place. besides surely being illegal, pulling it out could only result in tragedy. shouldn't he have considered that before attending and coming under the influence of drugs/alcohol?
Chris Auten one where were the security pre checks before they let people in or that close? Two if the hells angels would have stop attacking people he may not have pulled it out. He probably pulled it out in fear for his life to keep them back. Three, hells angels aren’t above law enforcement. Where the hell were the police? All they needed was a commander on stage to say “Hey look if all of you mother fuckers don’t calm down, we’re coming in here with teams.” “Hells Angels this includes you too.”

so very SAD a tragedy happened the night at Altamont for a Rolling Stones concert.......all the people should of been more PEACEFUL and CALMER to listen to all the beautiful music of the Rolling Stones!!!!......what a pity!!!!.....what happened to those days of nothing but PEACE&LOVE&MUSIC&MARIJUANA????!!!!
My first concert was BOC ! we got stuffed thru the front doors, with ppl falling and walked on ! Then inside there was a lazzer showon the back wall ,where you could make out one man punching another man, who fell from the balcony ,and died ! WTF...
Seem to have a problem at about 5:03 one of the Hell's Angels is having some angst maybe a little agony and definitely a lot of inner strife but of course nothing a good pool cue cannot solve and maybe a couple shots with a 38 caliber pistol on second viewing he definitely was not a Hell's Angel
It looked like they overloaded the helicopter when they were leaving. It’s a miracle they didn’t crash. That would have been more tragic than it already was.
Total disorganization. What security! SMH Scary. They just ... .. people up! Those were the days. How about all the people packed in the helicopter at the end. Those were the days! The Stones have seen it all. Rock on.
The Hells angels were the problem… They are the reason people got shipped out, they are the reason everyone got scared… They’ve never should’ve been brought in for security
oh come on, what could it go run in a concert with people carrying guns and knifes . Shit shit shit shit shit. I´m just out of words and all 800 hundres of concerts I assisted in my life never saw nothing so F)=(/&(/ bore.... saw the Stone in Caracas Venezuela in 1970 than in Orlando Fla. in Tangarine Stadium in 1980 nothing liked that horrible seen. Oh wait I remenber in Orlando Concert they where a lots of medicals but not fightting they where assisting the people that where overdose yeap so a lots of them..... Yeap I had my blast in that concert and many other in the USA and in Europe.... God I even had dinner with Freddy Mercury and Brian May at the Montreux Hotel Palace Restaurant yes that is why the call suisse the heaven of rich and famous no body ask any one for an authograph and I´m a very humble person that is why I party and steel do.....SDNRNROLL
The guys with the pool cues doing the beating at the start are what's known as prospects. They have the bottom rocker with the club location on it but not the death head or the top 'Hells Angels' rocker. These guys are still trying to impress, to prove their worth to the club. Probably why they were doing what they were doing.

I heard an old Hells Angel talk about it on UA-cam & he had the same story I’d always heard. If the Hells Angels were out of line these bands, barring Jefferson Airplane, wouldn’t have continued using them for security let alone be friends with them.
@@LudiCrust. You heard it from "people that were friends with some of the Hells Angels". What do you think they were going to say? There was a trial going on. Look, maybe or maybe not, but the Angels, (mostly prospects trying to impress the club) did not need reasons to thump people. Also, the Dead were friends with the San Fran chapter of the Angels. Everyone knows it was groups from San Jose and such and their prospects that the Dead didn't even know did most of the damage. The SF chapter guys were hanging with the band, especially Keith backstage at his trailer and on the stage mostly having a decent time and not really involved one way or another with the fighting as Sam Cutler asked one of them if he could stop them and the guy said, hey, some people just like to bust heads, and did a line of coke with him and walked away. The dude with the animal hat. Just saying that Hunter got caught up in one of many tussles and drew his gun at the Angels, not the Stones. Why in the middle of a fight would you randomly pull a gun and try to shoot some other person you aren't fighting with?
4:01 Werewolf dude is def on acid, picking up on all the bad vibes. He's become a receptacle for the seething negativity permeating the event. I've experienced this exact sort of thing while tripping on acid at concerts that had super bad mojo going around.
I think you may be right.
You started undressing and got kicked off the stage too? Sounds like you are the bad vibes.
Don't blame the substance blame who uses it
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. Passaro also stopped Mick Jagger becoming a dead singer ...
The Velo In The Vale thank you, and please tell more
who cares there just a bunch of codependent .......
Are you sure that the angel in question was not Ralph (Sonny) Barger?...i'm sure that near Keith Richards there was Terry the Tramp and another angel that had his face covered by an animal face....
Thank you for your clarification velo!
@@gregbernstein6430 The one thing he didn't mention, well a few things, but he got it better than most people is; The Angel parked their bikes in front of that tiny 3 foot stage and by many accounts, when the Stones took the stage, people rushed to the front to get closer. What do you expect to happen to the bikes? They should have parked the in back of the stage as there was a line of tractor trailers making a buffer zone backstage. One of many things not thought out very well.
You ve got to love Mick, the shrewdest, most cynical guy ever, trying to talk hippie jargon to calm a crowd of drunk speedfreaks and feisty stoned Keith, probably cringing at mick’s “ brothers and sisters “ rap, ready to add himself to the fracas. BUT the bootleg reveals a kick ass performance under duress. They actually played a strong show.
Only perpetual adolescents love Mick Jagger, the Rock "Bad Boy" who has a queasy stomach for violence and is so naive as to think Hell's Angels can be placated by his Church Lady bit. 550,000 GIs were in Vietnam that night, doing the heavy lifting for a generation of spoiled children.
Keith wanted a good one Donnybrook 👍
@@Egg-h5f Had an knife ready to go.
Thing is the Stones did a free show in England before this. 150,000 people showed up from what i heard there was no violence, and no problems whatsoever. Whoever set up the logistics for this Alamonte speedway free show for the Stones obviously fucked up royally on all levels. A true tragedy that didn't need to happen.
Gimme Shelter is my top “feel bad” movie but I’m always left speechless at that generations general “hardiness” and emotional stamina.
not to mention their highly nuanced moral sensibility.
I'd like to say that's the coolest thing I've seen a dog do funny af just randomly strolling along the stage the🐕 rest in slumber 😄✌🏻🇬🇧
Very fitting for the scene; don’t you think?
The red shirt that Keith has on is in the Rock and Roll hall of fame
Mick tried his best to keep it cool.
KLB, I agree - and I don't like the last shot of Mick's at all! It suggests that Mick and the Stones are the sole culprits! That's clearly wrong. This nightmare built up slowly and had multiple reasons!
Y'all too stupid to get that Mick Jagger is an arrogant, spineless and clueless bum, his pathetic simpering to a mad crowd shows for all to see his real impotence and terrible judgement, the HA had been beating up people before the Stones got there, he should have bailed when he had the chance but he really wanted to prance. The black shadow of the "Love Generation" still poisons our society. To think we had 550 thousand soldiers in Vietnam, dying every day while this was going on makes me want to puke. Jagger has never been cool, he's a poser.
The stones hired the Angels

@@zampieritto Wasn't the problem, or a big part of it, was that the Stones were used to dealing with the HA's in England and were taken by surprise when they discovered American HA's were a totally different breed of cat?

Hells Angels, I'm sure its amphetemines and booze then against the acid heads of Frisco, With some hard rockin music for a soundtrack. All the ingredients for mayhem.
Hammer44head, I agree! This was totally different from Woodstock. And the music of the Stones is not exactly peaceful and calming! It's a fitting soundtrack for the scenes of violence at Altamont, which was heading towards a disaster from the very beginning. It was a "Bitches Brew" - pun intended! It's actually surprising that there weren't more casualties!
The event was also very badly organized! The Stones had decided to give a free concert very late into their US Tour, because they have been criticized for the high prices for the tickets. And originally the concert was supposed to be in the Golden Gate Park. But this wasn't greenlighted, and it was decided just three days before the concert to use the Altamont race track, although it wasn't very well suited for a concert which would draw such a big crowd: the areal was sloped towards the location where the stage was set up. This had the effect that the crowd naturally gravitated towards the stage, which was also unusually low. Throw the Hell's Angels, alcohol, speed, a just 18 years old guy with a loaded gun and high on meth into the pot, add the right soundtrack - and it's almost guaranteed that it will boil over!
It is always mentioned that the victim Meredith Hunter was a black guy, while the fact that he was high on meth and drew a loaded gun is often mentioned as a mere afterthought. I suspect that it was the other way round: the Angels had to take him out in order to prevent a blood bath, but they might have overreacted because Hunter was black. I also wonder if the Angels were subconsciously pissed off because Hunter had a white girlfriend. And it's possible that Hunter felt he needed a gun for protection because he was black, and the concert crowd as well as the Hell's Angels were predominantly white. The tragedy had many causes, and it's wrong to reduce Hunter's death to a simple black vs. white antagonism.
@@sabineb.5616 so why are you trying to do it?
@@davisworth5114 , I don't understand your question. I clearly stated that I think the main reasons for the Altamont disaster were picking an unsuitable location, bad organizarion, employing the Hells Angels for security services, although they had no training whatsoever ,and paying them with beer!. And when Meredith Hunter whose judgement was impaired by a high quantity of meth, pulled a gun, he created a very dangerous situation for himself and everybody else. The Hell's Angels had to react. That's what they were hired for.
There's a long list of facts which led to Hunter's death. Most of the facts I named had nothing to do with racial tensions. But it's possible that Hunter, who as far as I know, had no history of violence, felt the need to bring a gun because he had been warned before the concert that there could be problems because he was black. It's also possible that the Hell's Angels may have overreacted when Hunter was pinned down onto the floor because he was black. But we will never know what would've happened if Hunter had been a white guy!
I clearly said that there were many reasons why the Altamont disaster happened!
Danke! Wir können leider nicht wie geplant an die holländische Nordseeküste fahren. Das Ferienhaus unserer Freunde liegt zwar abgelegen, und wir wollten selber kochen - aber leider wird an den Grenzen mittlerweile kontrolliert , und die Nummernschilder werden fotografiert. Und das würde bedeuten, dass wir um eine 14 tägige Quarantäne nicht herumkommen würden - auch wenn die Wahrscheinlichkeit, sich hier in Hannover auf der Lister Meile oder im Supermarkt anzustecken, vermutlich höher als an der Nordseeküste ist. Aber die Regeln existieren nun mal, und wenn kontrolliert wird, ist bei Nichtbeachtung das Risiko, dass man erwischt wird, zu groß! Deshalb fahren wir gleich zu dem Haus unserer Freunde in Nordrhein-Westphalen. Dort ist es auch schön :)
Ich melde mich später noch mal!
The only hells angle who brought a knife to a gun fight and WON!!
Evel kneivel hated the Hells Angels and had alot of them beaten by his fans at one of his jumps.
Stones arguably better live than recorded, Taylor and Richards give it a vibe that hasn't been repeated since imo, best lineup, even though Brian Jones is my favourite stone
1:08 Stu, Ian Stewart, the unknown Rolling Stone, on keyboards. Namaste.
How many people did they squeeze into that helicopter when they made their escape.?
I was there hiked in the night before and hiked out the morning after. The whole concert as a whole was unbelievable! I was on a hill back from the stage with a great view. The fighting was awful but as long as you were not right up front, the only issue was the music being stopped a couple of times. The man that was kilked because he pulled a gun on a Hells Angel. I was woke up in the morning of the festival at sunset by Carlos Santana playing a solo his guitar. The rest of the day was an awesome music scene, with one band after another. The stage area could have been handled better but it was not for the life of me I still to this day do not understand why people kept charging the stage. That was what caused all the fighting. Over all i had the time of my life and am so glad I went! ✌️😎
Asking the Hells angels not to violent is like asking Satan to teach Sunday school. 😂
Damn, this version of Under My Thumb is right on!
Better then the original in my opinion
Nope, not even close to the original
@@CryptoGeneYus All the opposite, this live version is awful, bad sound quality, no rythm, and awful voice tones
Was shite, way to slow needed to ramp up the tempo. No one was dancing, just pushing and shoving. What the fuk was Mr.Green thinking??? My reckoning is he was looking for a quick way out or looking to put harm on others, standing in amongst the boys then pulling a weapon out. Condolences to the family. Nothing to do with race, his intent was premeditated from the start the silly young fuk.
@@Mr_x_19922 how is there no rhythm? compared to the studio version this has much more rhythm
By now the mayhem around the "stage" has begun. Can you really call a 3 foot high structure a stage? Something as simple as that stage height may have been the root of all the problems: all day people were pushing at it and trying to get onto it. The Hells Angels were taking each attempt personally. Had the stage been higher, who knows how much different things would have been..... There is a Meredith Hunter sighting at 1:46. He is standing upright by the stage, maybe a little high, unmistakable in his lime green suit. Then at 6:15 is the remarkable footage of him getting stabbed.
He's also sideways at 0:07 on the left side of the screen. Look for the suit and the hat. Just a couple of seconds but he's there.
Oh man, this had disaster written all over it from the start. Just by watching this video, you can feel the unstableness of the crowd. The Woodstock crowd looked totally different. Maybe more higher than this one? Idk. Thanks for the comment!
bigphillyfan it was the ROOT of all of it, people loose their minds still when the stones play, a total disaster waiting to happen
@@Scottocaster6668 So so true.....The crowd tends to act as ''one'', like some creature.....It ceases to be individuals when it is rammed together like that.
I'd have hated tripping in that morass of edgy people..
The stage truly was the guilty party.
Is that Cutler in the chopper at the end? I sense a desperation in him to just get the hell out fast.
Lol that's my last name I wonder if we were related
The whole thing started with rock ,n, roll and now its gone outta control.
1:50 guy in green suit gets stab 4 times in the back by a hells angels. Look it up
a concert full of love but hells angels are the security team,so smart.the stones cant do it worse.
It wasn't their idea. They had very little to do with the organisation of the concert. The Grateful Dead were already planning a free concert along with The Jefferson Airplane. The Stones hitched onto the idea thinking it would be a good way to end their American tour. It was The Dead's manager Rock Scully who suggested that the hells angels be used as 'security'. I believe The Stones were like, Uh, well, it worked at Hyde Park so why not...different kind of hells angel in the UK. No one is really to blame. It was a balls up from the get go. If it had been held in Golden Gate Park, which was the original venue, this wouldn't have happened.
@@AnthonyMonaghan Just imagine what the Black Panthers would have done to a White dude if he pulled a gun at a Jimi Hendrix concert. Same motherfucking thing. Back in the day this is how bad actors were taken care of. Instead of talking to them and coddling them, the security fucked them up as example to the crowd that pulling out revolvers in front of hundreds of people WILL NOT BE TOLERATED for one fucking second. Dude had it coming. In those days you just didn't take your White girlfriend to a rock concert that the Hell's Angels were charged with keeping the peace. Oh well, you fuck with the rattlesnake and the son of a bitch is going to eventually bite you.
@@perryarrington8446 Thanks for sharing your warm remarks with the group, Perry.
@@davisworth5114 sarcasm is the last best vestige of ignorance
The gun wasn't loaded. Merideth Hunter had already been beaten in the face by HA's for sitting on a stack of speakers. He was carrying it to ward off problematic A holes like them. He was running for his life when he was taken down. He wasn't going to shoot anyone and he damn sure didn't deserve to die. It's a goddam shame.
It is said the Merideth never fired, or aimed his gun at the stage. He only pulled it out in self defense from being attacked by the HA.. Just like so many others were.
Exactly. The urban legend that has grown that the Angel "saved" Mick's life is bs. They were beating on Hunter and all Hunter could do was pull his gun out.
You can see him on camera pointing it at someone directly in front of the stage. It doesn’t matter that he wasn’t targeting Jagger.
@@LudiCrust. There are people everywhere. it would be impossible to not have somebody cross the muzzle line. He still has a right to defend himself from violent attack. Exactly like Mr. Rittenhouse did.
@@LudiCrust. You're right, but tragically, I believe he was pointing it at the Angels he was fighting with, and they get off scot free as heroes where all day some of them were just bashing heads. Not all, but enough to make me figure, if the Angels started beating my ass and I had a gun, that is an equalizer when it's usually 5 guys pounding on one person with pool cues. Isn't that what all the 2A people say?
They had to move the location of the festival and the stage was built in a hurry stage was level with the crowd, really bad situation

Only one meter high...to not believe....

That mudshark is sad.
Check the HA behind Hunter when he’s shown on the side/ front of the stage. Supposedly Hunter had been attacked before this.He doesn’t look agitated at this point, just trying to get up close. According to the main witness who was a very brave and honest person this is when the HA started pulling his hair and ear and punched Hunter in the mouth and they started chasing him. I really don’t think he is with his girlfriend at this point and he pulls out the gun to scare the HA away. As he gets beside Patty look at the bottom of the screen and you see the angel keying in on his movements and when he gets passed Patty he is ready to stab Hunter. He never stood a chance, and when they started the beating and face kicking he was doomed. The witness said he was three feet away when all this went down and helped carry him to the stage .Joel Selvin said there’s pictures of him being put upon the stage, well it certainly isn’t in the movie. You would have seen his green suit which stood out so brightly unless that was cut completely out. The B/W pictures do not show it.I have researched this whole thing for years and there isn’t a lot about it except the movie , books which are just rehash of what we know and now this latest book by Joel which was well written but when you see his interviews he gets all worked up and I am not impressed. He is not sincere and Sam Cutler is making it up as he goes to cover his ass. There I’ve said it and let’s stop with the telling over and over again that Hunter was high on meth. Everyone was high on something and if you ever went to a dance or concert and had a gang after you for nothing or your race and you had a pistol what would you do. There was nothing for protection because the protection is trying to kick your head in. It’s a scary feeling , Rock Scully said he saw him charge the stage 2-3 times and aim his gun at Jagger, bull crap ! He was running to be saved and no body would help him so theygrabbed him and took him back into the dark ! All this is on film that has either been destroyed or in hiding. RIP Merideth Curly Hunter
I've been searching for more truthful info on what went down and what you're saying makes more sense and sounds way more accurate than the BS I've seen and heard thus far. Thank you. RIP Merideth Hunter...
Did Patty ever speak on it?
Julie if you read the story by Chip Monk he reveals how he designed the stage and where he had it placed it very interesting. He also argued with the HA about the stage carpet he wanted returned and they knocked his front teeth 🦷 out . He finally had to barter with Sonny to get it back ! If you have anything to share on this subject Julie I’d love to read/ see it ,seeing we are on the same page. Thanks

DEAD RIGHT 💔 🇺🇸
A large group of pool cue wielding Hell's Angels on the powerful pharmaceutical grade amphetamines of the era & unlimited beer were more or less impervious to small caliber pistol rounds.
Brilliance
Just Sad - it Seems Crazy that Anyone thought that could work out! If this had not happened, I STILL Wouldn't go to a show with Hells Angles being the Security!!
The Hells Angels aren't really there for security, that's bullshit! They're there for free beer and smoke, to pick up chicks and who's going to stop them from getting in free?
The angels were too drunk, and those who weren't full fledged were also pledges and were also given booze so the situation even in the angles sphere wasn't good from the start either
Now that’s a real concert where people are just letting it all hang out-An element of danger just adds to the electric vibe☮️
the stones sounded brilliant here, especially on Gimme Shelter. Jagger's vocals are on point, Keith and Mick Taylor are playing out of their skins!
I'm shocked. I knew it was bad but crikey!!! What a dampener to the end of the 60s. How the Stones even played is beyond me. Can anyone tell me if they finished their set or just left?
They played a full 15 song set. Meredith Hunter was stabbed during Under my Thumb, halfway through the show. They played eight more songs
They kept playing more songs. They didn't even know about the killing until after the concert.
That guy doing his big drama routine until Sonny barger sees him then he gets thrown off lol That chopper had 16 people in it, way over loaded could have crashed easy
" look Cat! That guy there, if he doesn't stop it, man. Listen either those cats cool it or we don't play! Get em Keith.

here's a question to consider.....what were Mr Meredith's motives bringing a gun to the concert in the first place. besides surely being illegal, pulling it out could only result in tragedy. shouldn't he have considered that before attending and coming under the influence of drugs/alcohol?
hells a how stupied can a person be. too put them in for surcurity and all the beer they wanted.👅
HE PULLED A GUN...AND GOT STABBED AT THAT MOMENT
Chris Auten one where were the security pre checks before they let people in or that close? Two if the hells angels would have stop attacking people he may not have pulled it out. He probably pulled it out in fear for his life to keep them back. Three, hells angels aren’t above law enforcement. Where the hell were the police? All they needed was a commander on stage to say “Hey look if all of you mother fuckers don’t calm down, we’re coming in here with teams.” “Hells Angels this includes you too.”

Why are we Fighting?? Hey they should playing Street Fighting Man .
Seem to have a problem at about 5:03 one of the Hell's Angels is having some angst maybe a little agony and definitely a lot of inner strife but of course nothing a good pool cue cannot solve and maybe a couple shots with a 38 caliber pistol on second viewing he definitely was not a Hell's Angel

The Hells angels were the problem… They are the reason people got shipped out, they are the reason everyone got scared… They’ve never should’ve been brought in for security

they got paid in beer is one story going around. drunk bikers was never going to be good.
The guys with the pool cues doing the beating at the start are what's known as prospects. They have the bottom rocker with the club location on it but not the death head or the top 'Hells Angels' rocker. These guys are still trying to impress, to prove their worth to the club. Probably why they were doing what they were doing.
This was a free concert. And the HA were given beer as payment? None of that makes sense. Barger's not that stupid.
