Gimme Shelter Page #5

Synopsis: A documentary on the Rolling Stones' 1969 US tour and the tragic events that concluded it. We see footage of their concerts and of them making the Sticky Fingers album in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. However, the main focus of the film is on one concert - Altamont Speedway, outside San Francisco, 6 December 1969. A free concert, it is the Stones' idea and it was meant to be the Woodstock of the West (Woodstock having occurred four months earlier). Other bands performing included Jefferson Airplane, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Ike and Tina Turner, Crosby Stills Nash and Young and Santana. However, it is far from being the peace and love of Woodstock. Part of the problem is that the Stones hired the Hells Angels as security. The other problem was that a large portion of the crowd were high on drugs. Friction ensues. During the Stones' set, Meredith Hunter, high on methamphetamine and armed with a gun, makes a lunge for the stage and is stabbed to death by the Hells Angels. The peace and love

we can continue and we will continue.

Can you roll back

on that, David?

Sure.

Did you see

what was happening there?

No, you couldn't see anything.

Well, it was another scuffle.

There's the Angel

right there, with a knife.

- Where's the gun?

- I'll roll it back.

You'll see it against

the girl's crocheted dress.

Right there, isn't it?

Oh, it's so horrible.

Is there an officer?

Is there a policeman here?

- What happened here, anyway?

- Man, he pulled out a gun.

- He did?

- Yes, the Hell's Angels took the gun away from him.

One of them has it now.

He showed it to me.

And they proceeded to put him down

on the ground and started kicking him.

And he has a couple of stab wounds

in his back and one over his ear.

We tried to keep him alive,

but when we got here, the doctor

checked him out and that was it.

We pronounced him dead at about 6:20.

[Man On Radio]

We have a request from the state police.

- I don't want him to die! Don't let him die, please!

- He won't die!

Now, they're gonna do

everything in their power.

- But they can't hear his heart.

- Now, don't worry about it.

- [Sobbing]

- Don't worry about it.

- They're gonna put him

in this whirlybird and take...

- I have to go with him.

Get back, please.

Yeah!

Whoo!

Bye, bye, bye, bye!

Bye, bye, bye, bye!

Oh, yeah!

Come on in!

[Sighs]

All right.

See you all.

All right.
