Could the Maysles have a complete taping of this show ?

There's a whole story behind that and I will not go into details. But as we are all aware: these labels never closed down of course.

You're rewriting history, Mathijs! I know these people quite well. Flashback carried on for a while, but after he was imprisoned in the States (the Disneyland bust, of all places!) he called it quits. TSP stopped in time. I was there when TSP cleared their stocks, feeding my collection (and those of a couple of collector friends) with lotsa goodies for a clearance discount!

I do not think we should discuss this all here to be honest.

Anyway, I hope to hear and acqure the soundboard of the Altamont set someday. It appears that the snippets referenced at the beginning of this thread are no longer available?

I have the famous audience recording of the show, which is great as a historical document, but the sound quality is pretty dismal. I would love to hear the soundboard, and even better have it, as I think the Rolling Stones '69 tour was Rock's greatest tour, ever. I have many boots (LP and CD), including the following from '69:
LA, Oakland, San Diego, Baltimore, New York, Miami, Altamont.
The Altamont concert was amazing from a musical standpoint. It was, without a doubt, the most visceral music the Stones ever made, like Robert Johnson's recordings - it was that intense. Anyway, I hope to hear and acqure the soundboard of the Altamont set someday. It appears that the snippets referenced at the beginning of this thread are no longer available?

I always loved the version of Gimme Shelter that closes the film. It is apocalyptic. Wish they would release it.

When I go there I see a notice that I have requested a file, but there is no way to download it. Clicking on anything it takes me elsewhere. Can you please explain how to actually use this link?

What gets me about that show, is that beyond all the zillions of horror stories, the murder, The Angels, the bad organization, the end of the sixties - through it all, the Stones ended up playing a bad-ass set of rock'n roll. Way better than the famous Hyde Park, or Miami Festival.
Once they got to the second part of the set, they were cooking.

I had the same problem. To get around it, once you open the zippy page, use your mouse to hover over the 'download' link, then right click on your mouse and selelct 'open link in new tab'. You will bypass all those ads and in the new tab, you'll be able to download properly. (I have a Microsoft O/S, don't know what instructions might be for an Apple, but instead of clicking on the 'download' button you need to open the link in another page.)
