Exclusive Footage: CSNY at Altamont '69

Some ultra rare footage of the Rolling Stones and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young at Altamont in 1969 from The Observer.

To mark the 40th anniversary of the Stones' infamous concert at Altamont, award-winning Guardian photographer Eamonn McCabe unearths his previously unseen footage.

Eamonn McCabe says: "If Woodstock was the dream, Altamont was the nightmare".

Thanks Yer Blog!

On a happier note, here's some memories of CSN & Neil Young at Woodstock.

i put the CSNY / Altamont link up on your site a couple of days ago. You are correct, this is, indeed, ultra rare.

a few years ago, i saw photos of CSNY at Altamont, but never video. You have to believe that addl film (with sound) must exist somewhere, in someone's vault. Anyone ever check with the Stones or the Maysles Brothers - any Gimme Shelter outtakes?

Meanwhile, speaking of CSNY, Nash recently mentioned that Neil asked him to pull together usable tracks from the '74 Tour. Me thinks that will be a featured disc in Archives, Vol. 2.

Cough Up The Bucks!

You dont seem to be able to play the videos in it, but you can listen to all tracks and tracklist is further below. Had already ordered my bluray set anyway (plus a cd set) , but this just keeps looking better and better and even sounds ok on my crappy laptop with headphones. Cant wait to hear on my stereo. Studio versions of bad fog and JTTP are great, as well as live HOG. Love the "file cabinet " in the "Song Selection " area ...

1. Heart Of Gold Neil Young – previously unreleased live version
2. The Needle And The Damage Done Neil Young – from the album Harvest
3. Bad Fog Of Loneliness Neil Young with The Stray Gators – previously unreleased version
4. Old Man Neil Young with The Stray Gators – from the album Harvest
5. Heart Of Gold Neil Young with The Stray Gators – from the album Harvest
6. Dance Dance Dance Neil Young – previously unreleased version
7. A Man Needs A Maid Neil Young with the London Symphony Orchestra – previously unreleased mix
8. Harvest Neil Young with The Stray Gators – from the album Harvest
9. Journey Through The Past Neil Young with The Stray Gators – previously unreleased version
10. Are You Ready For The Country? Neil Young with The Stray Gators – from the album Harvest
11. Alabama Neil Young with The Stray Gators – from the album Harvest
12. Words (Between The Lines Of Age) Neil Young with The Stray Gators – from the original soundtrack album Journey Through The Past

At 5/18/2009 12:01:00 AM, Anonymous said...: So awesome how it has the commentary from live shows... I can see why the blu-ray will be cool as you can play while you listen. Oh well, I didn't even have the money I shelled out for the DVDs. So glad I ordered this on Friday. I can't wait to see what other surprises are in store. Thanks Neil!

I think there are a couple others too. Gator Rag and Gator Rag#2. Maybe they'll show up somewhere too.
