David G. @RT25716413 Jun 2 Absolutely haunting account of the tragic concert See more Kyle M @RT77296778 May 25 An unconventional documentary mainly leads up to the chilling capture of the fatal incident at the very end, while the rest is merely prolifically dull when functions akin to a concert film that’s solely delivered for fan bases in addition to being a time capsule to relive imprinted memories during the evident fade of the counterculture era albeit the admirable form that presented the strangely underlying cultism. (B-) See more CodyZamboni Z @CodyZamboni Oct 12 Solid documentary, Wise to show Stones' performances of all their hits at the beginning, then cuts back to the last minute slapdash set up of a free concert at Altamont Speedway, Documenting the drug alcohol fueled escalating violence, starting the afternoon, and resulting in stabbing of concert goer by Hells Angels, Colossal miscalcuation by Stones, and the promoter by hiring criminal thugs Hells Angels as security, Exciting pumped up concert music vibe gives way to a somber, horrific end to the 60's, The nail in the coffin of the flower power hippe love era. See more Pete B @RT37223507 03/25/2025 One of the greatest rock docs ever. The Stones at their peak, but also the dark side of the ‘60s music scene. The Altamont footage is just haunting, and you can feel the shift happening. A must-watch for rock fans. See more Johnathon W @Hoppynsc 02/25/2024 Classic rock documentary that marks the end of the 60's. What's interesting is that this was meant to the a straight forward coverage of the Rolling Stones's American tour only for the Maysles to capture the chaos at Altamont, including the moment a Hell's Angel stabs a man to death on screen. Brutal and honest, the best kind of documentaries. See more Marc Z @TKDLife 05/24/2023 This look at The Rolling Stones and the infamous free concerts at Altamonte is the basis for the amazingly well made musical documentary. This is one of the best ever made, and even better if you like the music of The Rolling Stones. It is a look at music, culture, the 1960's and a really tragic incident which marred this great event. This is well made and features tons of great behind the scenes footage. It is a concert and so much more. See more Read all reviews
