How bout Jagger after Satisfaction: "There have been a few hangups but generally...you've been beauutifulll."
Yes, several beatings and a murder..just a few hangups, but other than that..good times!
Again, Jagger's cluelessness mischaracterizes much of what happened in front of him. Keith had it right. Jagger didn't. After the violent spasms before and during UMT the concert did calm down, but the movie was not interested in that. I am not sure what the term "end of sixties" means or is meant to mean, but the term grates me. I did not see any hippies fighting in that movie. High, sure. Too high, sure. But they were getting beat on by thugs in a poorly planned, self serving event and a self aggrandizing movie.

More reason for the Stones to perform a make up show for the Altamont people on the next tour.
To be far to Mick, and indeed the rest of the band, he did the best he could under extremely stressful circumstances. He carried on with the show despite the chaos around him. I imagine the scene would have been worse had the Stones decided to do a runner...Quote

i'm late to the dance i'm sure with this one - but the maysles grabbed the "we leave you to kiss each other goodbye" bite from altamont and cut it into the garden footage? For me, time is not kind to that movie - they took so many out of context liberties to create their own drama that it really doesn't hold up for me anymore - the live footage is killer - the storytelling sucks-

that particular edit is one of hundreds in the film. Satisfaction is an amalgam of 2 different performances, there are visual bits of some songs spliced into JJF, the between song banter at Altamont is rearranged, Love In Vain features NO actual performance footgae of the song, and on and on...that is the marvel of good editing.
The Stones do much the same every time they overdub in the studio, or anytime a producer splices a bit of one song into another. IMHO Gimme Shelter is very well edited and does an amazing amount of exposition in 90 minutes.
