The Rolling Stones-Gimmie Shelter (1969) CED RCA SelectaVision TESTED WORKING
*Gimme Shelter* is a 1970 documentary film directed by Albert and David Maysles, which chronicles The Rolling Stones' 1969 North American tour. The film focuses on the band's performance at the Altamont Free Concert, which was marred by violence, including the fatal stabbing of a concertgoer by the Hell's Angels, who were hired as security. *Gimme Shelter* offers a raw and powerful look at the chaotic and turbulent events surrounding the tour, and it highlights the contrast between the Stones' musical energy and the darker side of the era’s counterculture. The film's title is derived from the band's hit song "Gimme Shelter," which underscores the themes of unrest and turmoil in the documentary.
