Film Review of Gimme Shelter
Year: 1970 Reviewer: Chris Docker
(Review refers to:) 2001 Digitally remastered version of the 1970 movie of the Rolling Stones 1969 Altamont concert. Apart from archiving a musical milestone onto celluloid, the film chronicles with nail-biting tension the progression and difficulties of staging a free concert for an audience of 300,000 and how the end of the flower-power era of love and peace was heralded with the stabbing of an audience member by Hells Angels security guards. Better than you'd expect if you get a chance to see it.
Rating: 7/10
