It was. And nobody comes out looking good, except for Marty Balin from the Airplane, who tried to stop a Hell’s Angels beatdown and got knocked cold for his trouble.

The Stones looked particularly bad. It was their decision to hire the Angels and pay them with $500 worth of beer. I’m been in proximity to the HAs a lot of times, and that in itself was a sure recipe for disaster.

Well, not according to David Crosby (in that RS article - excellent reportage, btw): I wonder what he would say now about his going-on-an-on about the Angels’ “moral code” or whatever….

ADD: it was interesting to be reminded that Carlos Santana. Jefferson Airplane, the Flying Burrito Brothers and CS&N were also on the card at Altamont: but of course, everyone only remembers the Rolling Stones…
