'Who wants to fight' you can hear someone ask near the beginning of the recording...'we do' you can hear 200 Angels scream in their impossibly demented minds.

The Angel stabbing Hunter is so clear I don't know how anyone could not see the knife in his hand as he stabs and keeps stabbing again and again. A giant horror show that I wouldn't be caught dead going to. Any time you have a drug fueled mob like this bad things will happen.

CSN&Y - LONG TIME GONE- ALTAMONT SPEEDWAY (RARE 8mm & 16mm VIDEO) Comment on youtube: "The Altamont Speedway Free Festival was an infamous rock concert held on Saturday, December 6, 1969, at the Altamont Speedway in northern California, between Tracy and Livermore. Headlined and organized by The Rolling Stones, it also featured, in order of appearance: Santana, Jefferson Airplane, The Flying Burrito Brothers, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, with the Rolling Stones taking the stage as the final act. The Grateful Dead were also scheduled to perform, but declined to play shortly before their scheduled appearance due to the increasing violence at the venue.] "That's the way things went at Altamont—so badly that the Grateful Dead, prime organizers and movers of the festival, didn't even get to play,"Approximately 300,000 people attended the concert, and some anticipated that it would be a "Woodstock West." Filmmakers Albert and David Maysles shot footage of the event and incorporated it into a documentary film titled Gimme Shelter (1970). The event is best known for having been marred by considerable violence, including one homicide and three accidental deaths: two caused by a hit-and-run car accident and one by drowning in an irrigation canal. Four births were reported during the event as well. Scores were injured, numerous cars were stolen and then abandoned, and there was extensive property damage."

I saw David Crosby in April 1989 at The Boathouse in Norfolk, VA.

Altamont showed the hippies for what they really were, mentally disturbed wastrels.Charly Manson knew this that's why he recruited hippy zombies to kill for him. And they smelled like the inside of a portable toilet.

at 3:53 behind Stills is an older , white haired chap with glasses. Melvin Belli, the famous attorney who is seen in the 'gimme shelter' movie setting the whole thing up in his SF offices.

My circle of friends and I had attended Woodstock. Came home to Lodi, Calif. and our very next concert was Altamont... about a forty minute drive. Ya know, I've been to many concerts with Hells Angles in attendance and normally they've been pretty cool. Don't fuck with them and usually they won't fuck with you. Before the music even started we were walking by an old bus with Hells Angles standing on top throwing full cans of beer to people. One of them threw a beer full force and hit my friends wife square in the face. We knew it was gonna be a bad day.

I can't believe those a-hole HA prospects, beating up the defenseless skinny guy in the Smoky the Bear hat. Who the hell beats up a guy wearing a Smoky the Bear hat? Hope they got theirs some day. Somebody put paid in full to the HA who killed Meredith Hunter. They found him floating in a reservoir up by San Jose 15 years later. There is a little justice in the world anyway.

I like to tell my friends that I was at the Altamont concert, but as a fetus :) My Mother was 21 at the time and about 3 months pregnant and I'm most certain 6 months later upon my birth I entered this world "high as a kite". Weeeee!

rick t

Some of this clearer footage is from the Gimmie Shelter film during the what we've been led to believe during the Flying Burrito Brothers and Jefferson Airplane set. Although after listening to the live Altamont audio on other you tube videos I can see the film and film audio of the movie is greatly out of context and severely altered. Great film though it is. Certainly not the way the Gimme Shelter DVD portrays things.

That's Melvin Belli behind Stills at 3:52 . How about that 70 Roadrunner at 1:09 ?

vistacruiser67

Is that Fuzzy Samuels on bass in the video?

vistacruiser67

Is the bootleg from Altamont?

The Angels were there largely because The Stones and alot of the other musical artists of that era, wanted to be associated with these "Renegades". The Dead used them for security before and they recommended the Angels for Altamont. How gutless of them to back out of concert because of violence & Marty Balin getting knocked out by Angels.To easy to blame everything on Angels. The Stones deserve alot of blame for being determine to stage this event, despite all the fore told problems that existed
