    to me the best parts were watching 'em perform. the actual stabbing incident didn't really makes odds nor ends to me... it was pretty dull when they weren't playing

    The stabbing at Altamont was pretty crazy and is the highlight of Gimme Shelter. Another reason to watch is the part where Mick Jagger asks the crowd, "who wants to fight" in some reverse psychological way. Hilarious. But if you take only one thing away from Gimme Shelter, it wil...( read more)l be that The Rolling Stones were not and are not a live band. All in all, pretty anticlimactic.

    The Hells Angel put an end to the love era at a Rolling Stones concert. Watching an accident just waiting to happen.

    This is one of the best Rock Documentaries I've ever seen. The editing and the pacing, it really plays and is structured like a proper Film. Plus some awesome Live footage from one of the greatest Rock Bands in their prime.
