At the same time , they listen to a radio show with call ins about what went down.

All the while , their manager is going over all the plans for the free Altamont show.
The day of the show finally arrives and the Stones fly in.
The organizers of the show hope that this will be the second Woodstock , as it is arranged by them.
There are many problems from the get-go , one major one being people hanging around and on the stage.
The Hells Angels are in attendance and are asked to help keep people off the stage.
First performance is by the Flying Burrito Brothers.
Shortly into their set , violence breaks out in the crowd.
The band stops playing and will not continue until the wounded are assisted.
Many other things are going on in the crowd as well such as balloons , bubbles and frisbees flying about , crowd surfing , drunken nakedness , much wine and beer guzzling , bad trippin , fun trippin , babies being born and stop the panthers campaigning to name a few.
Next up , the Jefferson Airplane. Shortly after they begin their set the lead singer is punched in the head and another fight breaks out.
The band pleads with the crowd to stop the fighting and asks that the Hells Angels find another way other than violence to stop the commotion.
Jerry Garcia arrives and speaks with Santana drummer Michael Shrieve , who informs Garcia what is going on.
Nighttime falls and the Hells Angels make a path with their bikes for the Rolling Stones to take the stage.
Just about immediately , a fight breaks out in the crowd.
The Stones make 3 stops during their set because of the violence , threatening to leave if it doesnt stop.
They continue on as well as can be expected but the music definately suffers now.
The last stop they make is due to an 18-year-old man who pulls out a gun and points it at the stage.
The Stones are unaware of this at the time that its happening , they just assume its another fight.
