I was there for three days. It was like a city of it's own. Parked my car on Hwy. 580 (Altamont Pass).
they actually closed the freeway and made people park on the road. and walk in through the hills.
It was an experience that I will never forget. Free Love and Drugs was the daily menu. We were quite a ways from the stage, but walked down there when we saw a helicopter coming to see who it was when it landed and it was the Stones. There were people as far as the eye could see. Never saw the action when the Angels got nasty. But heard about it later. There is a movie called Gimme Shelter that documents the event. We had a lot of concerts and Rock Festivals in the Bay Area in those days. Went to one at the Pleasanton Fairgrounds around that time and the Angels stabbed some guy there the night before the festival at the camp grounds. The guy was naked and running through peoples tents and he must have run through the wrong tent. He was wiped on some acid or something. Back then we used to know some people that worked for the promoters of some of the concerts and they would get us jobs working as security to make sure nobody snuck in, we would of course let our friends sneak in. Was some unforgettable times.
Saw some of the greatest acts to ever perform.
