Altamont 69
« on: December 13, 2004, 05:20:18 PM »

The free concert at Altamont Speedway back in 69 with the Jefferson Airplane, CSN&Y, the Flying Buritto Bros. & the Stones has been blown way out of proportion by the 60's youth generation looking back on it for almost 40 years now like it was some apocalyptic event because of the violence with the Hell's Angels & the classic Stones concert documentary Gimme Shelter in the name of 60's pop culture when it was just a bad day at a rock show, nothing more, nothing less, since it has happened at rock shows before & after Altamont!

Altamont 69 is the most OVERBLOWN rock festival of all time because of the violence with the Hell's Angels & the 60's baby boomers make it out to be some sort of catastrophic event mainly because of the Stones classic concert documentary Gimme Shelter when it was just a bad day a rock show which has happened before & after Altamont in rock history.

Ignoring Wayne's comments above - as everybody else obviously did 5 years ago - I recently came across this: photographer Eamonn McCabe's previousely unseen filmed footage.
