Rolling Stones   12/06/1969

Altamont Speedway, Livermore, CA
Source SBD/AUD blend
Media FLAC   1 disc
Notes True blends of the 'master aud tape' and the recently circulated audience tape recorded for radio broadcast from Watchit/gottogo99 (thank you!). By true blend, I mean that the two sources were run simultaneously and mixed to a new track.
Background: One of the most storied recordings in Rolling Stones history. Apart from the obvious crowd problems (MJ: "Well, there've been a few hang ups. But generally, ... you've been beautiful!"), this was a pretty strong performance. The audience taping of the entire show must be--given the very difficult conditions--one of the most heroic recordings ever made. Many versions of this recordings have circulated over the years, including the well-known bootleg "The Killer Festival, Altamont 1969" (VGP-113).
What do we have here?: This version is true blend (or matrix) of as much of the show as is available from five different sources. Note that none of them had all the pieces. The idea was to get the best possible sound for each track, but retain all the crowd noise, reactions, etc. in the recording. The crowd was obviously an integral part of this event, I've kept all of that from all the sources.
