  • prodane duše..............

  • 7:13 That guy disspleased by Mick Jagger

  • God everyone was high

  • A WOMAN ACTUALLY GETS KILLED AT THIS GIG.......BUT IT IS A REAL PIECE OF HISTORY THIS FOOTAGE....THANKS FOR HAVING IT ON YOUTUBE

  • @MrMattyrude I'm pretty sure she got killed during another song though.

  • @TheGenYgirl And I just looked it up and discovered it was a HE named Meredith. Must get back to reading Life. I know too little RS trivia..

  • 3:57... Dog's rock'n roll

  • Who's idea was it to give the security gig to a bunch of socially inept thugs?

  • saggy tits @ 6.06

  • @my77stang Uhm, no, that is what real large breasts look like. It seems trite to accuse you of watching too much porn, but seriously. Do males know what breasts look like anymore?

  • I only learned about this song from Interview with the Vampire , and I loved it .

  • you can feel the bad vibe going on

  • 1:56 true words

  • People...People....Cool....Out­....Man....is that guy who got stabbed in the neck okay?

  • The dog had the best spot in the house

  • La chica desnuda lo que quería era subirse a la tarima... Hubiese sido mejor que la hubieran dejado subir...

  • If you start my blog 5 posts down and work your way up the sequence of events should make sense.

    I still get chills watching this video and despite my psychedelic state remember vividly Mick calling out "brothers and sistas ...cool out!" I'll bet he was about to shit himself. What a trip!!

  • For weeks we were told on Bay Area radio the Stones were looking for a place to hold a free concert. It was to be the West Coast answer to Woodstock. If it had been held in Golden Gate Park as planned I'll bet it would have had more of the peace/love vibe of the city at that time. The city chickened out as it was bound to be huge. Altamont Speedway offered their property and it was thrown together in a few days. There was this crazy exodus of hippies!

  • As I slogged along towards Livermore with 1000's of other lost souls trying to hitch a ride in an insane traffic jam (they had closed the freeway both directions!) I realized it was faster to walk. Gradually I hopped on the trunks of cars that started to move and made my way back to the 580/680 interchange where I tried to sleep in the ice plant. Finally got a couple of rides that got me back to my parents house at 4am. They were totally freaked out and assumed I was the one who had been killed!

  • I was in the crowd that suddenly got pushed back by all the attacking Hells Angels at the beginning of Sympathy for the Devil. Somebody slugged me in the back and suddenly I was laying there watching that naked chick while resting my head on an empty 3.0 liter bottle of Red Mountain. Soon after total anarchy ensued and the Stones were climbing a ladder back in a helicopter to safety. I had lost my shoes, coat, etc. and while walking out of the morass picked up a piece of broken glass in my foot.

  • As I approached the venue off the side of the freeway were 2 dudes in rocking chairs with sawed off shotguns and doberman pinschers selling kilos of pot out of a large white van. Someone brought 1000's of plastic coffee can lids which began flying all around like make-shift frisbies. It was Woodstock West until the sun went down and the drugs and alcohol started to really take effect. As the Stones were helicoptered in crowd rushed the stage and I was buried about 10 deep tripping my brains out.

  • I was 16 years old and made this concert thanks to an older brother who drove me there. Had sex with a hippy chick in the back of a pick up truck in a sleeping bag while cruising down 680 on the way there. I decided the acid I had taken wasn't strong enough so I bought another hit from a guy who was selling it on the side of the freeway with a top hat that had a sign saying"LSD $2". It was a very "groovy" event at first with CSNY and the Flying Burrito Bros. I missed Santana. The Dead no showed.

  • The Gimme Shelter Film is the greatest rock doc ever made & the music is excellent...

  • the Hells Angels murdered a guy in that scene...stabbed him to death

  • @schlabresfan what most people don't know is that the guy that was stabbed had a gun and was approaching the stage.

  • @williamlangdon1012 yeah I heard that story, but there were a lot of conflicting reports. Seems like a blood orgy to me the way he died.

  • Comment removed

  • UP THE IRONS FROM LOUISIANA

  • where bikers stare at cowboys who are laughing at laughing at the hippies who are praying they get out of here alive

  • is that Hyde on 0:40??

  • @sandmanoss LOL!!!!

  • @MrThumbs63 Poor girl kept tripping over her boobs.

  • hide? 0:39

  • Comment removed

  • jagger danced away from the possible at that end of the stage because he was scared and i can't say I blame him!

  • 7:45 he reminds me of a horse

  • Bliss and acid trips.

  • i like looking for the dog,the biker with a nasty look at jagger and the fat naked tit witch.im gona look for acid wolf biker now cant remember what track it is though.

  • mick jagger would be a great hostage negotiator

  • this band is great without jaggars moves

  • How to create a society with out of their head people?

  • Is that Hyde from that 70's show that gets lifted up at 0:39? Haha!

  • @Naterbaterz lmao looks like it

  • jesuschrist is the only salvation against intelligence

  • there was killed a black man, terrible

  • is that chick naked at 6:04 ?

  • @babydiapers123 Ah, yeah!! Looks like the only good moment in the show, aside from the band, of course.

  • Im 39..that's my first time seeing this video, but I've heard about it! That kicked ass!

  • @old72mac You really need to get the Gimme Shelter DVD. It's great.

  • 4:26 wat.

  • after all these years i never knew my dog was security with the 81,....my parents told me Fido was at the pound. So kool!

  • JESUS CHRIST IS THE  LORD, HE'S WONDERFUL, AND THE ONLY SALVATION.........

  • 2:31: the guy dressed in blue on the right looks like George Harrison.

  • I have no idea what moron decided the Hell Angels should do the security for Altamont but it was a disaster.

  • @vinnyvsalval Accordin to legend, it was Mick`s idea; apparently all they wanted was a shitload of beer in return. Not a good combo, IF thats true.

  • @estyle40 I always heard the manager of Grateful Dead hired the HA's. Either way it's a bad combo.@ 4:13 the look this Hell's Angel guy is giving Mick Jagger is not good.It shows two worlds and cultures clashing!

  • @scumgod13 You could be right. So hard to get the truth about that night. While we`re at it, bout 7:13, what do you think that guy`s sayin to Mick?

  • @vinnyvsalval That "moron" was Sam Cutler. I don't know what he was thinking. Apparently the deal made with the Hells Angels was that they were not to be a "police force." rather, they were just supposed to sit on the stage enjoy the concert and make sure no one messes with the equipment, speakers, stage, etc. They were paid in beer. Again, bad call. One of the Hells Angel's hit and knocked out the lead singer to Jefferson Airplane earlier in the day while he was performing.

  • @saintcatherine actually during the Airplane's set .Marty Balin saw a kid in the audience being roughed up. He jumped off the stage and put himself between the kid and the Angel. Thats when he got decked. If Jumpin Jack Jagger was one tenth as brave as Marty that death might not have happened...

  • This is a mess up event. All the innocence of the 60´s seems vanished...

  • 'I stuck around St. Petersburg

    When I saw it was a time for a change

    Killed the Czar and his ministers

    Anastasia screamed in vain'

  • This is such a dramatic piece of film footage! Everyone looks freaked out: the fans are crying, and tripping on acid. Fights are breaking . Mick's trying to keep everything under control. It has a very surreal, spooky vibe.

  • @rog944 And the cutback to him watching the film footage is all the more freaky.

  • why they would have a bunch of drug dealing gangsters for security is beyond me,tits

  • you look at this and ask. what is wrong with the human race? what the hell is our problem?

  • Guy at the end took an arrow to the knee

  • keith would keep playing if a nuclear war had just started lol.

  • this is why The Stones are the GREATEST band EVER!

  • Great solo!

  • Oh John, the sixties, made me miss my bus. You know what, it just confused us all, the pills, the sex, the maps. I was with mick and KR down at streatham ice rink back in 65, Brian decided to spectate, it was winter we all had our skates on, except Bill, he was watching Charlie fishing on a frozen lake . Anyway keith entered the ice rink and next thing he dived in, silly sod he thought we`d gone swimming, luckily Mick dived in to save him, I just winced as the rockers wriggled on the ice.

  • love how they got hells angles as there security.....

  • Dont fuck with HA

  • @StyrbjornStark the hells angles are a bunch of trailer trash, no teeth. fuckin idiots

  • @pat19691223 Worlds biggest biker gang and a force to be reckoned with in the criminal world, that cant be denied

  • This is one of the most fascinating videos I have ever seen. You can feel the tension at that show through the computer screen.

  • Managed to read Sum Cutler's book, was a great read, looks some somebody higher up wanted this day to be a bad one. Hence all the the bad acid here . I 'm really pissed off no new footage has been released onto dvd.Would have liked to have bought a box set with all the bands that played !

  • does anyone else find it ironic that while playing Sympathy for the devil a fight breaks out and some one ends up dieing

  • @TheLuke12Skywalker Wrong. Meredith Hunter was killed during Under My Thumb.

  • Thank you Mick...........what a super hot sweety!!!

  • FUCK YOU MAROON 5!

  • @1337Kupo this is rolling stones

  • @1337Kupo wait what about Maroon 5 am I missing something?

  • hhhhhhhs!  smells like pot wwoaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!

  • Don't let your dogs grow up to be bikers.

  • Yes, that was a somoneones puppy crossing by at 3 57. Whos dog could that be?? LOL. Probably a hells angels dog.....

  • @bobino9245

    The dog is the best episode of this video

  • When did music really die?

  • Comment removed

  • if i remember from a class i had mick actually reacts to someone getting stabbed

  • @abcdefasdfhasdf this is real music and you suck

  • The mistake was hiring the Hell's Angels as security. Period.

  • I saw this documentary,it's interesting to see the guys reflect on the whole debacle that went on while they were on stage.To anyone who loves the Stones it's a must see.

  • such an important part of American history thanks for posting

  • @EmmaLee129 Another good shot is around 4:11 when the Hells Angel is staring at Mick Jagger. That says so much about the 2 Cultures Clashing instead of coming together as they wanted them too.The Manager for the Grateful Dead actually hired the Angels because apparently he knew Sonny Barger well.The guy that got killed clearly pulled a gun and was running at the stage,sorry he's dead but they did their jobs.But they were beating on people left and right,many of them defenseless on LSD.

  • My god there is some beautiful women in this crowd and I'm not talking bout big ole Naked Mamma trying to wooly her way onstage! I came of age a Punk Rocker but I've always had a guilty pleasure for Hippie chicks.CCR travelin Band when ya search for it it's the 2 that comes up it's put up buy LUVSCCR and at 1:30 in that video I fell in love.Course she's prolly 60 now. The girl at 8:14 in this Video obviously knows something awful has happened.I want to go back in time and give her a hug.

  • did a dog just walk pass 3:57 lmao

  • @DMW111090 Super VIP

  • satans music...

  • @Kimindigo hell must be the coolest place then

  • I love when in 3:57, a dog walks on the stage. hahahahaha,.. !

  • Only No: 1. Thanks!! Kispofam from Hungary

  • i guess the Hells angels had some *puts sunglasses on* Sympathy for the devil...heh heh......yea.......

  • Dude at 7:18 is almost crying. He keeps yelling something at the band or Hells Angels or someone.I wish I knew what he was saying cause he probably saw someone get badly hurt or killed. Looks like he might be saying why among other things.Then again he might just be on a real bad acid trip.

  • @scumgod13 I see it

  • @scumgod13 No, Mick notices the ruccess is going over to the man who you said appears to be crying, both are probably high, and Mick is asking the guy 'what's going on over here?' and the guy replies "Nothing at all man." - you can even read the mans lips.

  • 4:13 the way the Angel staring at Jagger. Talk about culture clash!

  • a wild band of chimpanzees have ten-fold more brains than the same number

    of drug dealing scumbag hells morons - then just add poolcues - low level

    primates with weapons and cant chew gum at the same time - what could go wrong?

  • the angels saved no lives - only added to the mayhem thru their selfish stupid pride

    there should have been REAL security to save fans from the "angels"

  • @bloomtime1 they also killed a poor S.O.B, they added to the body count, not dimminished it.

  • Why were the Hells Angels (of all people) doing security?

  • @BoomBoy13 money

  • @BoomBoy13 Hells Angels had good credibility in England, so they assumed American as well.

  • viens pas me montrer qui a fait quoi, ils etaient la ensem ble!!!

  • Mick was yong and did the right thing.

  • The girl at 0:51 with the tambourine = gorgeous. Where are you now?

  • @stuckin1968 shes fine.... but this was some time ago brother

  • @catcherinthesky1

    I appreciate it was a very long time ago..... But I bet she's got some stories to tell about that night!

  • @stuckin1968 yeah man, i bet your right

  • @stuckin1968 Amy Smart?

  • What the hell is a dog doing there 3:55 jajaja

  • I knew the angel in :48 and other shots. He was in the National Guard, and got activated for missing meetings, and was sent to my Army unit in Germany. He doesn't look like it in this video, but he was an absolutely ruthless fighter, and he fought often when he was off duty in downtown Heidelberg. As far as I know it was never with anyone in the Army, but with foreign workers - Turks, Yugoslavs, etc. His favored weapon was a straight razor, and he was very fast when he used it. He is likely dead

  • Press 5 for Mr. nice guy :)

    

  • Mick looks so baked in the beggining.

  • @1957thack Youre a fuckin idiot......go listen to your lady gaga and leave the real music to the grown ups :-)

  • @MrCleaniam Hey Mr Clean Cool Out!!! ! Hey People brothers and sister's .... Even the late great John Lennon was quoted ! As for the Stones! They just keep on playing the same old shit over and over again! I think that their stuck in a rut !!

  • This is why I love PBS, in the 80s they were the only progressive network that would" air" this documentary.

  • esse sábado tá gritando por Rolling Stones.

  • @1957thack then why would they go to their concert?

  • old rotten country folk singers, you suck!

  • keith will you cool it?

    Sqwrrkkkchk!!

    god bless keef

  • the hell's angels saved so many lives at this festival people don't realize. if they hadn't been so burly and strict many more people would have died or been killed including Jagger!

  • @scrumbulent The Hells Angels took all the heat for the mishaps from this failed Concert! They even had a hit out on Mick and tried to bump him off while was in the Hampton's....

  • @1957thack weird how they killed a guy to save Jagger just to turn around and try and oust him...word to the wise never make pacts with the devil or hell's angels!

  • 5:53 Forever young!!!! :D...

  • Although the Hell Angeles are a criminal enterprise, they were a few White Men that would not take shit from the hordes in America. Sadly alot of White Men are drones/wimps who voted for BO. Look at what has happened. Distaster!!!!!

  • David Spade @4:37

    

  • Meredith Hunter cracks me up. Brought a gun to a knife fight, and LOST. Long live stones and angels.

  • love the blonde chick grooving next to a speaker

  • 6:02 boobies???

  • Is there a problem here??????'

  • 3:56 xD

  • Dam! How do you feel about not being there?

  • @peacemanken Like crap!

  • @tmaarud Well if they wouldve quit in the late 60s, probably still wouldlve never known that song

  • this video is so sad...christ

  • @92doubleface That's how it was 92, That's just how it was! It was...what it was.

  • @crazytrain81 O_O

  • this is the best song ever

  • Whta that dog was doing un the scenario ???

  • WTF is with that dog walking on out of nowhere at 3:57? LMAO. The poor thing probably went deaf instantly, but he stole the show!

  • a think we're acool we cin goo

  • 37 dislikes? What do people expect from the Rolling Stones? From live performance footage? From the 60's? Unless its the poster's own original work, the like button should be disabled, seriously.

  • stones carried us til the late 60s and thats when they shoulda quit.. sabbath, zeppelin, Rush need i say more?!

  • @MultiRushfan Disagree because there wouldnt have been 1971's "Brown Sugar" the best Stones song EVER!! Why would a group quit at their peak? Lol!

  • Dude, they actually did Brown Sugar live on Altamont. Only time they ever did the intro live as on the album

  • The end of an era, the era of peace and love. The start of what we have today.

  • I like the guy at 4:20

  • @FantasticMrPossum JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA­JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJJAAJJAAJA­JAJAJAJAJJAAJJAAJJAJAJAJAJAJAJ­AJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJ­AJAJJAJAJAJ NOOOO LPM JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJ :P

  • @FantasticMrPossum The Hells Angel at 4:20 is in disbelief, and probably jealousy and hatred (check out the way he's staring at Jagger), over these English guys because he doesn't understand Mick Jagger's talents and how he can hold such power over this crowd of 300,000+ people.

  • the city of san francisco screwed it up by issuing a permit for a show at golden gate park and then taking it away so this was the only place they could find. the stones had no clue event had been changed until they got there as they were recording in muscle shoals and this was a fly in date not part of a tour date.

  • lyrics about jesus inaccurate

    as death couldnt hold him he rose from the dead

    being sinless the devil couldnt hold him in hell

    maybe the judges at chichester were right in the 1967 drug bust

    when they labelled the stones children of the devil

  • a man died at this concert

  • @acatkinson 10 people died at this concert. 2 by the Hells Angels, and 8 by being crushed by the rushing crowds to the stage. My Mom was almost one of those deaths.

  • @acatkinson

    4 guys did

    

  • @acatkinson Well if i had to die i would'nt mind dying on a Rolling Stones concert :P

  • @sebbeas123 Same here bro

  • this wasn't long enough, they could stretch this song to half an hour and i would listen to it when they are playing this good

  • I've often wondered whatever happened to the naked lady at 6:00. I mean, that would be a helluva bar story.

  • Thank god for Val True

  • this is a piece of rock history...

  • lol the dog on stage ....

  • Yes irespect who hold a copy right, but i hold my computer at home an it will hold a copy of this rola
