Altamont and The Rolling Stones: The Night The 60’s Died

In December 1969, the Rolling Stones headlined a free concert at Altamont Speedway in Northern California. The event was being billed as another Woodstock, which had been held four months previously to great fanfare. Over 300,000 people would attend the concert to hear the Stones, as well as Santana, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Jefferson Airplane, Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, and the Grateful Dead. Yet, the event would be marred by violence culminating with the death of 18-year-old Meredith Hunter, as well as extensive property damage. Some later said that this concert was the night the 60’s died.

The original idea for the concert that became Altamont supposedly came from two members of Jefferson Airplane. They were touring at the time, but had this idea of holding a Woodstock West type of festival. The original thought emerged as including the Grateful Dead and the Rolling Stones for a concert to be held in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Jefferson Airplane’s Spencer Dryden would later say, “Next to the Beatles they were the biggest rock and roll band in the world, and we wanted them to experience what we were experiencing in San Francisco." The concert was to be held on December 6, 1969, but by December 4, the plans for holding it in Golden Gate Park began to quickly break down. The reason for this came in the fact that police and hippies near Haight-Ashbury absolutely hated each other at the time. Neither party wanted to be in any way helpful towards the other.

The next possible venue to be used at the last minute for the concert sprung up with the Sears Point Speedway. This possibility was quickly dismissed because the owners wanted a $100,000 guarantee in escrow from the Rolling Stones for use of the venue. Finally, at the very last minute, Dick Carter offered the use of the Altamont Speedway without cost. The decision was quickly made to move the concert here. Yet, artists like Grace Slick still held huge reservations about using it upon arrival. “The vibes were bad. Something was very peculiar, not particularly bad, just real peculiar. It was that kind of hazy, abrasive and unsure day. I had expected the loving vibes of Woodstock but that wasn't coming at me. This was a whole different thing."

For the Rolling Stones part, the band had already announced a free concert very early in their tour of America in 1969. They had been sharply criticized for high ticket prices for the tour, so they hoped that putting on a free concert at the end of the tour would lessen any negative comments in the press. Altamont Speedway emerged as something of a last resort because they had tried to host a free concert in other venues in San Jose, but the band was quickly dismissed. The decision to move the concert there turned out to be a logistical nightmare. The venue did not have portable toilets or medical tents. Another major problem came in the fact that the stage would now be at the bottom of a hill, not the top. This meant that the crowd would almost be coming down upon the stage, which worried people like Chip Monck, who did the set up for the Rolling Stones. “We weren’t working with scaffolding, we were working in an older fashion with parallels. You could probably have put another stage below it...but nobody had one."

Some accounts say that the Rolling Stones hired local Hell’s Angels chapters to provide security for $500 worth of beer. Both parties have denied that this was the case. The Rolling Stones manager Sam Cutler said after the concert that he would never had hired them as the security. “The only agreement there ever was ... the Angels would make sure nobody tampered with the generators, but that was the extent of it. But there was no way 'They're going to be the police force' or anything like that. That's all bollocks." Cutler and other management members like Rock Scully of the Grateful Dead would say that they hired the Hell’s Angels to be a barrier between the crowd and the bands on stage. A number of accounts have come out over the years that confirmed that they were paid $500 in beer and told to keep anyone off the stage not affiliated with the bands. The problem soon became clear that many of the Hell’s Angels were rather drunk starting fights with just about anyone in their vicinity. This almost came as a shock to members of the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane, who had used them previously for this purpose with no incident. One should note that speedway owner Dick Carter did hire plain clothes security guards throughout the venue in order to protect his property on that day. The decision to use them was fraught with misunderstandings. At the time, the Hell’s Angels had hung out with Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters, which would be documented in Tom Wolf‘s Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. The counterculture at the time had a misconceived notion on just how violent members of the Hell’s Angels could be in reality. The Rolling Stones might not have understood what types of guys these guys were at the time either. They had used a British group called the Hell’s Angels for nonviolent security purposes at a free concert in Hyde Park earlier that year. Members of management like Cutler and Scully needed to inform the band that this was not the same group and the band should expect something different.

Santana was the first act to play that day, and one of the few sets actually to go smoothly. Yet, as the day progressed, the crowd and the Hell’s Angels became increasingly more and more agitated. The only time during the day that the crowd did not seem to be bent on attacking the Angels or each other was when the Flying Burrito Brothers played. Fights became more and more common as the angels had armed themselves with sawed off pool cues and bike chains. The lead singer of a local band, six months pregnant at the time, was knocked unconscious at one point. The Rolling Stones would later pay all of her medical bills because of this incident. Marty Balin of Jefferson Airplane went into the crowd to break up a fight, but was quickly struck in the head and knocked unconscious. The Grateful Dead were scheduled to play at some point, but after hearing about Jefferson Airplane, they refused to go on stage. Some reported that Stephen stills of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young had been stabbed repeatedly with a bike chain during their set.

The Rolling Stones waited until sunset to go on stage. One of the reasons for the delay was that bassist Bill Wyman had missed his helicopter flight to the venue. Within a few seconds of coming out of the helicopter, Mick Jagger was immediately struck in the head by someone from the crowd. He felt uncomfortable towards the entire situation imploring the crowd to stay calm. “Just be cool down in the front there, don't push around." A fight broke out in the middle of “Sympathy for the Devil,” which led the band to pause their set in order to restore order. They continued on to the next song “Under My Thumb” when a fight broke out between 18-year-old Meredith Hunter and the Hell’s Angels. The concert was once again put on hold. Hunter had initially tried to climb on stage, but was pushed back by the Angels. A few moments later, he returned, but now brandishing a .22 caliber gun. One of the Angels, Alan Passaro, saw this and immediately took care of the situation by stabbing him several times with a knife from his belt. The fatally injured Hunter was then stomped on by other members of the Hell’s Angels. The band had seen the fight, but not the killing of Hunter. Jagger thought that someone was merely hurt at the time. They eventually started playing again after a short pause, and finished their set. Jagger would later say that if they had stopped the concert at that point, the entire place could have erupted into a full-scale riot. Pasaro would be later tried for the killing, but a jury acquitted him due to self-defense. His attorneys simply showed the footage from the Gimme Shelter documentary that was being shot at the time.

One of the amazing things in the aftermath of the concert came in the fact that so much footage existed of what took place. The Rolling Stones had hired well known documentary producers, the Maysles Brothers, to create a film about that 1969 tour. The film entitled Gimme Shelter was released a year later and even competed at the Cannes Film Festival in 1971. In the film, you see at the beginning Charlie Watts and Mick Jagger watching footage of Meredith Hunter being stabbed. Later in the same scene, you see their reaction after hearing Sonny Barger of the Hell’s Angels call into a radio show defending the gang. They also filmed behind the scenes footage of their manager Sam Cutler negotiating for the eventual Altamont venue. The Maysles brothers were part of a movement of documentary filmmaker‘s trying to record events as they naturally happen. Another notable scene takes place when the Grateful Dead are informed that Marty Balin of Jefferson Airplane had been knocked out. The film was harshly criticized by journalists because they felt that the band had been portrayed too sympathetically in the film, as well as an attempt by the Stones to cash in on a tragic event. Many of these writers initially took their cue from a story published in 1970 in Rolling Stone magazine. One other interesting side note was that a young George Lucas actually did some filming at the concert, but it was never used.

"The Rolling Stones Disaster at Altamont: Let It Bleed" was published in late January 1970. The article said, “Altamont was the product of diabolical egotism, hype, ineptitude, money manipulation, and, at base, a fundamental lack of concern for humanity.” In a follow up story, the magazine would write that it was quite possibly the worst day in rock and roll history. Critic Ralph Gleason mentioned the feeling that history has assigned to Altamont. “If the name 'Woodstock' has come to denote the flowering of one phase of the youth culture, 'Altamont' has come to mean the end of it." Many current writers have said this event specifically identified a certain moment in time when the dream of the counterculture officially ended. Yet, in hindsight, Salon’s Michael Sragow pointed out numerous errors in Rolling Stone’s coverage of the concert. As mentioned earlier, the Rolling Stones really cannot be criticized too much for the fact that they were filming it because that was actually the way in which the Maysles brothers made their films.

The Altamont concert has remained in popular culture since 1969 in a variety of ways. In 1970, the Grateful Dead released a song on their album, Workingman’s Dead entitled “Speedway Boogie,” which directly referenced the tragedy. The event also inspired Blue Öyster Cult to pen the song, “Transmaniacon MC,” where MC stood for motorcycle club. The most famous reference came in Don MacLean’s iconic hit, “American Pie.” One claim never confirmed in the lyrics was that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost actually referred to the music festivals of Woodstock, Monterey Pop, and Altamont. In the 1996 film, Cable Guy starring Jim Carrey mentions Altamont right before singing Jefferson Airplane on karaoke. “You might recognize this song as performed by Jefferson Airplane, in a little rockumentary called Gimme Shelter, about the Rolling Stones and their nightmare at Altamont. That night the Oakland chapter of the Hell's Angels had their way. Tonight, it's my turn."

In 2003, the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department re-opened the death of Meredith Hunter. They investigated as to whether a second Hell’s Angel should have been prosecuted for the killing. Once again, the documentary footage became invaluable and probably more so than any eyewitness from 25 years earlier. The interesting thing about the person who actually shot that footage emerged in that he did not know someone had actually been stabbed, even as he filmed it. In 2005, the sheriff's department closed the case officially finding no further evidence to pursue the case. In 2008, a former FBI agent reported that some Hell’s Angels had rented a boat on Long Island for the express purpose of killing Jagger as retribution for the band’s lack of support after the concert. A storm nearly sank the boat, which put an end to it. For his part, Jagger has never commented on this.

Looking back, if Altamont happened today, then the Rolling Stones would have most assuredly been canceled by Twitter. Yet, back then, they went on to become the most popular band in the world in a couple of years. The negative press from the concert did very little to hurt the band’s popularity in the grand scheme of things. If anything, their bad boy image was probably bolstered by the fact they had promoted and headlined such a violent event. Some of that negative press was probably deflected anyway by the band simply saying that it represented a poorly planned event by promoters and management. There existed just too many complexities when trying to offer a free concert to the masses. The irony in that observation is that today Mick Jagger and Charlie Watts go through meticulous planning to make sure every venue meets their specifications. The contrast in perspectives between the Rolling Stones and the rest of the world can best be summed up in the words of Keith Richards when asked about the concert. The guitarist said it was “basically well-handled, but lots of people were tired and a few tempers got frayed" and "on the whole, a good concert." To him, all the drama surrounding it represented a nonevent in his mind. My last thought will be to paraphrase a comment from YouTube about Meredith Hunter that is both funny and very truthful. If you show up to a free concert wearing a lime green suit carrying a gun while high on amphetamines, then you need to understand that something bad may occur when surrounded by thousands of people either drunk or stoned.

My main goal is to collect all the Dragon Age II companions, and so far the only ones I don’t have are Merrill, Bethany, and Fenris (also Sebastian, but since I still have yet to play that DLC I haven’t counted him yet). Then there are just a handful of others I’d like to get including Shianni, Scout Harding, any variant of Sera, and every legendary Leliana (Don’t Judge Me). Maybe Sandal. I had a Sandal at one point but I used him to fortify another character... mistakes were made.

Men, their rights and nothing more; women, their rights and nothing less – Susan B. Anthony • It’s called civilization. Women invented it, and every time you men blow it all to bits, we just invent it again. – Orson Scott Card • It’s the good girls who keep diaries; the bad girls never have the time. – Tallulah Bankhead • Let a woman have her place, because as you provide foundation for her, she provides a foundation for you.

Women marry men with the hope they will change. Invariably they are both disappointed. – Albert Einstein • Misogynist: A man who hates women as much as women hate one another. – H. L. Mencken • Modern invention has banished the spinning wheel, and the same law of progress makes the woman of today a different woman from her grandmother. – Susan B.

There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue.

Anthony • We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal. – Elizabeth Cady Stanton • We need women who are so strong they can be gentle, so educated they can be humble, so fierce they can be compassionate, so passionate they can be rational, and so disciplined they can be free. – Kavita Ramdas • We still live in a world in which a significant fraction of people, including women, believe that a woman belongs and wants to belong exclusively in the home. – Rosalyn Sussman Yalow • We still think of a powerful man as a born leader and a powerful woman as an anomaly. – Margaret Atwood • What mighty ills have not been done by woman!

Women want to hear what they think – in a deeper voice. – Bill Cosby • Women forgive injuries, but never forget slights. – Thomas Chandler Haliburton • Women govern us; let us render them perfect: the more they are enlightened, so much the more shall we be. On the cultivation of the mind of women depends the wisdom of men. It is by women that nature writes on the hearts of men. – Richard Brinsley Sheridan • Women have tongues of craft, and hearts of guile, They will, they will not; fools that on them trust; For in their speech is death, hell in their smile. [It., Femmina e cosa garrula e fallace: Vuole e disvuole, e folle uom chi sen fida, Si tra se volge.] – Torquato Tasso • Women may fall when there’s no strength in men. – William Shakespeare • Women must tell men always that they are the strong ones. They are the big, the strong, the wonderful. In truth, women are the strong ones. It is just my opinion, I am not a professor. – Coco Chanel • Women need to become literary “criminals,” break the literary laws and reinvent their own, because the established laws prevent women from presenting the reality of their lives. – Kathy Acker • Women of forty always fancy they have found the Fountain of Youth, and that they remain young in the midst of the ruins of their day. – Arsene Houssaye • Women only nag when they feel unappreciated. – Louis de Bernieres • Women think with their whole bodies and they see things as a whole more than men do. – Dorothy Day • You can’t beat women anyhow and that if you are wise or dislike trouble and uproar you don’t even try to. – William Faulkner • You educate a man; you educate a man. You educate a woman; you educate a generation. – Brigham Young • You see a lot of smart guys with dumb women, but you hardly ever see a smart woman with a dumb guy. – Erica Jong • You sometimes have to answer a woman according to her womanliness, just as you have to answer a fool according to his folly. – George Bernard Shaw • You’re only a man!
