Albert & David Maysles and Charlotte Zwerin’s GIMME SHELTER
(PG, 1970, 91 min)
Called the greatest rock film ever made, this isn’t your typical doc—it’s a front-row ticket to the wildest tour of 1969. The Rolling Stones storm through America, and at San Francisco’s Altamont Speedway, 300,000 fans collide with Hells Angels in a moment that shattered a decade’s ideals. Legendary performances of Gimme Shelter, Sympathy for the Devil, and Jumpin’ Jack Flash electrify the chaos, turning history into pure rock ’n’ roll adrenaline. It’s raw, intense, and unforgettable—a visceral snapshot of counterculture, rebellion, and the highs and lows of the Love Generation you actually feel in your bones.
