This is a Historic Recording as It's an Audience Recording from This Crazy Festival with Security By The Hell's Angels. It's pretty wild hearing audience reactions and comments during this show. Let me know what you think of it. I was also sent the Rolling Stones Set. It's 80+ minutes but my copy is atleast 3 more generations from this and I really don't think I should Bother Seeding it here. *the stones song on this disc is the same source but sounds Much Better! Here's some info on the Festival borrowed from : http://www.frayed.org/1969.html As it is well documented in the movie, Gimme Shelter, the Stones had problems from the beginning when they tried to play a free concert near San Francisco. The venue was moved around and even when a venue, Altamont Speedway, was finally found, problems continued. The day before the concert, the Stones released their new album, Let It Bleed. The name of the album predicted the horror that what was to follow more accurately than anyone ever would have guessed. Over 300,000 people showed up for the free concert, and the Stones had planned a day long, festival style show, featuring Santana, Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Jefferson Aeroplane, Ike and Tine Turner, and the Grateful Dead. Because the Dead had in the past hired the Angels for security, the Stones again hired the Hell's Angels. This time, it backfired. After Angel inflicted violence all day, which included Marty Balin from Jefferson Aeroplane getting knocked unconscious, as well as a number of people who were savagely beaten with pool cues, the day was forever scarred when Meridith Hunter was killed by Angels in front of the stage during Under My Thumb. The Stones were unaware of what was going on and continued the show, playing an extended set. The Angels claimed Hunter had a gun and was pointing at the stage, which is at least partly true, he did have a gun. The Grateful Dead chose not to play that night due to the violence, which probably was the only smart thing anyone did all day. That day cast the Stones as bringers of violence and evil, an image which to a degree is still on them today. |
