Almost 50 Years Later, We Finally Get the Full Story … DACHokie I first saw “Gimme Shelter” in 1982, when I was in high school; the mesmerizing and haunting documentary intrigued me because it clearly left many questions unanswered. The past 30+ years, I have desperately and fruitlessly searched for the missing pieces of the Altamont puzzle (even meeting a supposed Altamont attendee at a 2005 Stones concert didn’t help). Thankfully, Joel Selvin decided to fill in the blanks with his book ALTAMONT. I have never been so excited anticipating the release of a book and Selvin certainly delivered the goods.Contrary to the sunny, optimistic hope delivered by the Woodstock Festival four mo. Inaccuracies/Needs Editing JeffH I stopped reading at page 83. The Porterville/Hells Angels incident took place during the Labor Day run 1963, not 1964. The 1964 Labor Day run destination was Monterey, where four Angels were arrested for alleged sexual assault. All four were ultimately released due to lack of evidence. Also, the George Lynch report "condemning the club" was issued in March, 1965 - not "in 1966." Don't they have editors to keep this kind of thing from happening??. Great History Victor Preacher Shurtz Let’s start with a little history. Mick Jagger had a vision and in that vision two prominent figures stand our as the manipulators of the entire fiasco. With that being said, this book tells the true, as far as most can remember, tale of the role Mick Jagger, Sonny Barger, the connected moves and shaker and the lack of communication between the movers and shakers, played in the culmination of a free concert at a B-class raceway in Northern California; The Stones handled the music, the Angles handled the security for a 3’ft tall stage.This book tells the tale in three parts: Chapter 1, Pipe Dreams; Chapter 10, Friday; Chapter
I had no idea the extent of bruising under the melting rainbow. Selvin is revealing our tricky gestation in the weird womb of sixties rock. Frightening.” (Grace Slick, member of Jefferson Airplane)“An incisive account of the most infamous concert debacle in rock historyThis book provides context and perspective, showing the sea change in rock that was taking place as the Rolling Stones attempted to reassert themselves amid the increasing dominance of San Francisco psychedelia and the spirit of WoodstockCompelling.” (-- Kirkus Reviews (starred review))“A methodical historySelvin’s presentation of Altamont busts the myth of innocence lost; in fact, Altamont just made the reality harder to ignore.” (-- Publishers Weekly)“It was worse than you t
In this breathtaking cultural history filled with exclusive, never-before-revealed details, celebrated rock journalist Joel Selvin tells the definitive story of the Rolling Stones’ infamous Altamont concert in San Francisco, the disastrous historic event that marked the end of the idealistic 1960s.In the annals of rock history, the Altamont Speedway Free Festival on December 6, 1969, has long been seen as the distorted twin of Woodstock—the day that shattered the Sixties’ promise of peace and love when a concertgoer was killed by a member of the Hells Angels, the notorious biker club acting as security. Joel Selvin probes every aspect of the show—from the Stones’ hastily planned tour preceding the concert to the bad acid that swept through the audience to other deaths that also occurred that evening—to capture the full scope of the tragedy and its aftermath. While most people know of the events from the film Gimme Shelter, the wh
