Review of Gimme Shelter (2013) by Kiko E — 28 Jul 2014
Quite simply the best rock documentary ever made. Telling the story of the tragic free concert at Altamont were the Rolling Stones performed. Mick Jagger is punched in the face as soon as he steps foot off the plane.
Hells Angels biker gang were hired as security and stabbed a concert-goer to death after he brandished a gun. The unruly crowd is pictured in various states of intoxication. The Rolling Stones were at the peak of their powers.
The music sounds as wonderful as it did then. Chronicling the end of the 60's peace and love era. Hypnotic.
