We’ve talked Altamont to death here in years past so there’s no reason to dig it up now.
One thing that always intrigued me though was that Alan Passaro dude,he ends up in the middle of this whole scene and then years later dies under some weird circumstances.the cops said he was found face down in a canal wearing a money belt with his Mercedes parked nearby.
They said he refurbished old cars for a living but that looks like a drug deal gone bad.
It’s weird they never say if someone drowned the guy or shot him or what,just “found floating in the canal”

I read once that they thought he tried to swim to get away from whoever was chasing him and he got tired and drowned. He interests me also. Did you see his picture on find a grave?

Altamont was just a mess, the counter culture was a different beast on the West Coast, a very good friend, took a flight from England to NY for the adventure of 3 Days & has often spoke of the tangible difference between each scene, the underlying sleaze of Cali v the naivety of the Eastern states, children raised protected after WW2, one was a hallmark of Woodstock whereas Altamont... we all know the story

Gas Light Street, the poster was probably referring The New Yorker magazine itself.

I count three uniformed SFPD officers in this crowd shot. So, did the cops just escort Mick in and then split and leave the rest of the show to the Angels?
(I never knew there was any police presence at Altamont.)
