Altamont Free Concert Hell's Angel's founder Sonny Barger was one of the Hells Angels present at the Rolling Stones' Altamont Free Concert on December 6, 1969, at which the bikers were reportedly paid $500 worth of beer to provide security. Concert goers and musicians alike were subjected to violence from the Hells Angels, including Marty Balin of Jefferson Airplane, who was knocked unconscious, and audience member Meredith "Murdock" Hunter, who was stabbed to death. Barger claimed to have been sitting on stage drinking beer when the violence was taking place.[6] As a result of critical media attention given to the HAMC after the concert, he went on KSAN, a local Bay Area radio station, to justify the actions of the Hells Angels and to present their side of the story. He asserted that violence only started once the crowd began vandalizing the Angels' motorcycles.[7] Barger would later state that Hunter fired a shot that struck a Hells Angels member with what he described as "just a flesh wound."[34] Barger maintained that the Rolling Stones were ultimately responsible for the violent events that took place at the concert, saying: "They agitated the crowd, had the stage built too low, and then used us to keep the whole thing boiling. They got exactly what they wanted - a dark scary atmosphere to play 'Sympathy for the Devil' ... Just because you sing well doesn't mean you can act like a bunch of assholes to your fans - and that's what they did that night at Altamont".[35] He blamed the Rolling Stones' extended delay before making an onstage appearance for worsening the hostility of the crowd, and said the Hells Angels refused to act as bodyguards for "a bunch of sissy, marble-mouthed prima donnas" when the band asked the bikers to escort them to the stage.[36] He also claimed that he stuck a gun into Keith Richards' side, to force the Rolling Stones to keep on playing through the riot despite the band's misgivings.[14] Barger took umbrage with what he felt was the Stones' refusal to take responsibility for the catastrophe and he said in the days after the concert: "... Mick Jagger, like, put it all on us. He used us for dupes".[7] He appears in the documentary film about the Altamont Free Concert: Gimme Shelter (1970).[4] Reflecting on the Altamont concert, which has been referred to variously as "the end of the hippie dream" and "the day the Sixties died",[37] Barger wrote in his 2000 autobiography Hell's Angel: The Life and Times of Sonny Barger and the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club: "All that shit about Altamont being the end of an era was a bunch of intellectual crap. The death of Aquarius. Bullshit, it was the end of nothing ... Altamont may have been some big catastrophe to the hippies, but it was just another Hells Angels event to me".[38] After Altamont, Barger sought to expand the Hells Angels and improve the club's image. Members who were of little value to the Hells Angels were drummed out, and intravenous drug use was banned by the club. Barger also stripped the Hells Angels' "colors" of offensive patches, such as Nazi regalia and various colored wings awarded to members as a reward for sexual adventures performed in the presence of other members. The club also hired public relations specialists and began participating in charity fund drives.[4][7] The dispute between the Hells Angels and the Rolling Stones was compounded when the band refused to compensate the Angels for $50,000 in legal fees accrued by the club in the trial of Alan Passaro, who was acquitted of Meredith Hunter's murder on the grounds of self-defense.[39] In March 1983, Clarence "Butch" Crouch, a founding member of the Hells Angels' Cleveland chapter, testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that the club had an "open contract" on members of the Rolling Stones and had made two failed attempts on the life of Mick Jagger.[7] Barger subsequently called a press conference to deny Crouch's testimony.[40] He again refuted the claims of a murder contract on Jagger in an interview with the Phoenix New Times in 1992, saying: "I personally don't like the guy, but that doesn't mean I want him dead. There are seven [Hells Angels] chapters in England and he comes over here a lot. If there was a contract out on him, then he'd be dead. It's that simple, he wouldn't still be singing."
I was there, and had the time of my life. Nobody with a lick of sense got between the HA bus and the stage; you didn't have to feel the vibe to know it, just look at how thin the crowd was between the bus and the stage.

That show should've been canceled by afternoon. Shouldn't have even made it to the Stones set. If it was explained over the PA what was happening near the stage, I don’t think there would've been that much backlash
Looked like Alan Ginsberg getting a well-deserved hiding at one point.
Certainly hope so.
The guy at 2:01? Not him but a bit of a lookalike.
Nothing more deserved. That chickenhawk yehud was Nambla all the way.
@@Sygg-uj3ze it really isn’t him but yeah, it would be very highly deserved.

Them damn hippies should have listened to Jerry Garcia when he said don't mess with them Hell's Angels😂
Lol
Grateful Dead initially recommend HAs for security

Pretty sure the ones in this would have been all dead tbh.
More than likely@@wyverntheterrible
@@wyverntheterribleyou are so right. They're either dead or in nursing homes😂
I keep looking for ''Animal''

Is that George Lucas perspective 🎥
He was filming reactions out by the road 😅
I can't say " k n e e g r o w t h " on YT.
It's a year later in your comment is still here so say it again just for Old times
That is a vintage cheeseball tune. Poor Marty B, best songwriter in that outfit, just trying to stop the bad vibes.
@@slimzimm1031 pretty sure the songwriter went on to write some big 80s hits. It's on the original Warriors soundtrack
@ yah I guess it fits the angels theme even though the 80s wasn't in the 60s?
Id say HA where pretty much just tough guy hippies back then. easily just as degen too. Atleast they had cool bikes.
That show should've been canceled by afternoon. Shouldn't have even made it to the Stones set. If it was explained over the PA what was happening near the stage, I don’t think there would've been that much backlash
Good days for one and all 😂
The Hippies kicked. The Hell's Angels bikes so that's asking to get your ass kicked no matter who you are respect and you'll get respect!!!
Lol . Jefferson airplane
