She Does it Right!

Dr.Feelgood 【She Does It Right】 １９７５、ＴＨＥ　ＧＥＯＲＤＩＥ　ＳＣＥＮＥ（ＴＹＮＥ　ＴＥＥＳ）

Please allow me to introduce myself…

On this date in 1969, at a free concert performed by the Rolling Stones in Altamont, California, eighteen-year old Meredith Hunter is stabbed to death by Hell's Angels security guards.

"Gimme Shelter" is a 1970 British-American documentary film directed by Albert and David Maysles and Charlotte Zwerin chronicling the last weeks of The Rolling Stones' 1969 US tour which culminated in that concert. Released a year to the day after the Altamont events, much of the film chronicles the behind-the-scenes dealmaking that took place to make the free Altamont concert happen, including much footage of well-known attorney Melvin Belli negotiating by telephone with the management of the Altamont Speedway. The movie also includes a playback of Hell's Angels leader Ralph "Sonny" Barger's famous call-in to radio station KSAN's "day after" program about the concert, wherein he recalls, "They told me if I could sit on the edge of the stage so nobody could climb over me, I could drink beer until the show was over."

The action then turns to the 1969 concert itself at the Altamont Speedway, the security for which was provided by the Hell's Angels (armed with pool cues). As the day progresses, with drug-taking and drinking by the Angels and members of the audience, the mood turns ugly. Fights break out during performances by The Flying Burrito Brothers and Jefferson Airplane; Grace Slick pleads with the crowd to settle down. When Mick Jagger arrives to the grounds via helicopter, he is punched in the face by an unruly fan while making his way to his trailer.

At one point, Jefferson Airplane lead male singer Marty Balin is knocked out by a Hell's Angel; Paul Kantner attempts to confront "the people who hit my lead singer" in response, announcing: "Hey, man, I'd like to mention that the Hell's Angels just smashed Marty Balin in the face, and knocked him out for a bit. I'd like to thank you for that." Jerry Garcia and Phil Lesh arrive, but The Grateful Dead opt not to play after learning of the incident with Balin from Santana drummer Michael Shrieve. (Santana and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young also performed at the concert but are not shown in the movie.)

The Stones are shown appearing onstage that evening and opening with "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and are also shown performing "Sympathy for the Devil," as the tension continues to build. During the next song, "Under My Thumb," a member of the audience, 18-year-old Hunter, attempted, with other crowd members, to force his way onto the stage, and as a result was struck by the Hell's Angels guarding the band. Hunter then drew a revolver before being attacked by Hell's Angel Alan Passaro and killed by at least six stab wounds. Hunter's stabbing was captured on film by at least one of the many camera operators filming the documentary, and appeared in the final cut of the film. According to Albert Maysles, the stabbing was filmed by Baird Bryant; other sources have also credited Eric Saarinen. The film sequence clearly shows the dark silhouette of a handgun in Hunter's hand against the crocheted vest of his girlfriend, Patty Bredehoft, as Passaro enters from the right, grabs and raises Hunter's gun hand, turns Hunter around, and stabs him at least twice in the back before pushing Hunter off camera.

The credited camera operators for Altamont included a young George Lucas. At the concert, Lucas' camera jammed after shooting about 100 feet (30 m) of film. None of his footage was incorporated into the final cut. (Wikipedia)
