This now classic rock documentary set out to record The Rolling Stones during their 1969 American tour and ended up capturing a killing during the free concert at Altamont.
The film foreshadows the tragedy at Altamont at the start with members of the band including Mick Jagger watching the footage from the concert. Then we move into performances from the road of some of the Stones’ classic songs, including at the time rough versions of new songs, “Brown Sugar” and “Wild Horses.” As part of the tour, we also get a sexually charged performance from the opening act, Tina and Ike Turner.
