Even before night fell, Bill Owens photographed the Angels battering a concertgoer with pool cues and swarming the stage during Jefferson Airplane’s set. Like the Grateful Dead, Owens decided that he should leave. The Stones didn’t, though, and, if they hadn’t performed, Hunter wouldn’t have had a show onstage to approach, and Passaro wouldn’t have had a boss to protect. Of course, things might have also got worse if the headliner had bailed. But the show went on, Hunter was killed, and, in the decade that followed, both the Dead and the Stones became bigger and more successful. More and more time passed, and eventually it all came down to a big last-minute crisis. Scully and Grogan had been made to look foolish repeatedly, by starting to enter negotiations with San Francisco park and recreation people on various occasions, four, three and two weeks ahead of the scheduled December 7th concert date — only to withdraw without explanation. The Stones’ New York management apparently felt pressed to say something. But they were unable to get it together. A press conference planned for Friday following the concert (which attorney Melvin Belli was scheduled to attend, having booked a San Francisco-New York flight) was cancelled. Provide one-sixtieth the required toilet facilities to insure that people will use nearby fields, the sides of cars, etc. It was one of Sheriff Madigan’s men who killed James Rector in the People’s Park uprising in Berkeley this Spring. Gleason’s implication was that it was one of Jagger’s/Cutler’s/Grogan’s/Scully’s boys who’d offed Meredith Hunter. The air was dense with blame.

The Grateful Dead wrote several songs about, or in response to, what lyricist Robert Hunter called "the Altamont affair", including "New Speedway Boogie" (featuring the line "One way or another, this darkness got to give") and "Mason's Children". [41] Both songs were written and recorded during sessions for the early 1970 album Workingman's Dead, but "Mason's Children" was not included on the album. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, who were to fly in and out in time to be in Los Angeles for a gig at UCLA that evening, had arranged to go out on a 9-passenger chopper leaving from Marin Heliport in Sausalito.

This excludes abuse, cosmetic damage (scratches on leather or on polycarbonate or stained fabrics), incidental/ consequential damage (such as damage to or loss of content of the bag, loss of use, loss of time), abrasion, solvents and accidents. You need a day to sorta settle in. It has to be at least like a weekend thing. And then, there’s not all that hype that you gotta get there, because if you don’t get there you’re missin’ everything. And after the second day, you sorta been there. You slept together and you figured out how to eat breakfast together, and the crowd is pretty much amalgamated into a one sorta thing. Sorta there to do whatever it is. It gets sorta logical.Hunter’s death, and the reportedly bleak mood of the event more generally, has become symbolic for the corruption of 1960s hippy idealism. The festival was separately chronicled by directors Albert and David Maysles and Charlotte Zwerin for the film Gimme Shelter. The Angels were together and the people weren’t together — they didn’t have time to get together, you know? If they had wanted to get rid of the Angels, honorably, they could have taken up another collection and laid another five hundred dollars on them to split, which they would have done, man.”

They finish “Under My Thumb.” Then get into a new song they’ve never performed in public before: “Brown Sugar.” It goes well. Beautifully, in fact. The Stones are making miraculous music, despite everything. It is authoritatively reported (by an intimate of the higher echelons of the Sherrif’s department) that there were four, possibly five, plainclothesmen from the department near the stage, close to the action, on duty — which means that they were carrying their firearms. Their exact instructions are unknown, but, generally, it is a law enforcement officer’s duty to stop any crime he sees being committed, especially murder. (In fairness, it is not certain they were present during the Hunter murder.) Sympathy for the Devil.” They stopped in the middle. A skirmish had broken out at stage left. This was the knifing/stomping of Meredith Hunter, perhaps 25 feet from where Jagger pranced and sang, then stopped. To one observer 20 feet to Jagger’s rear, the glint of the long knives was clearly visible. So, if the Stones were looking, they saw it too. The same observer spoke with several others who were onstage (as did Rolling Stone), and none, except for the onstage Angels, claim to have seen a gun.Note that the electronic device/function integrated in your travel product is not covered by this warranty. But some display — however restrained — of compassion hardly seems too much to expect. A man died before their eyes. Do they give a shit? Yes or no?

KSAN: Well, what I’m speaking to, and what I’m sure you saw because you were right on the stage. . . During the worst of the Angels’ outrages, a few of the braver non-Angels had suggested (quietly) to the friends that with enough men they could put the Angels down, and maybe they ought to. But cats like Marty Balin, who actually leapt in to fight the Angels were exceedingly rare. They usually got bloody fast. The two killed by the car were Mark Feiger and Richard Savlov, both 22, of Berkeley. They had recently moved to the Bay Area from New Jersey. They were killed around midnight Saturday when a 1964 Plymouth sedan plowed into them and several others as they sat around their camp fire by the side of the speedway road. The official cause of death was listed by the coroner as “multiple blunt crushing injuries.” The wheels of the hit-and-run car went across their chests, and they were dead on arrival at Valley Memorial Hospital in Livermore at 12:20 A.M. Sunday. The driver of the car has not yet been found. Several of the musicians who were there placed the blame directly on Jagger. “If I ever get that asshole up against the wall,” promised one San Francisco musician, “he ain’t never gonna walk away.”

David Crosby, first to arrive with the band’s road crew, was enthusiastic, hopeful about the day. A broad smile creased his face, even after he heard the helicopter pilot had refused to land because of fog and they would have to drive 20 miles through and beyond San Francisco to catch another helicopter at International Airport.
