Santana? this was a huge festival like Woodstock, there must have been other bands booked to play.

Interesting that the filmer mentions that there was a rumor that there was a death threat against jagger but it was unsubstantiated still an interesting angle into why the hells angels were so nasty that day

as much as i enjoy this movie it would have been great if they had filmed more daylight footage from other bands and included it into the film.

hopefully, someday they will come out with a directors cut edition like they did recently with the woodstock movie. give some exta behind the scenes and bonus stuff. bring it on, i say.

nice clip tumbled.

Are you fucking serious?

I mean, really near it. He gets a split second close up. Pretty easy to see him in his green suit.

I can't imagine it being planned out that specifically amid such chaos. Certainly a 30-minute Dark Star might have calmed down the crowd. In hindsight, the Dead should have played. They all admit it.

The extras are truly wonderful. It is well worth the money.
