GREEN WITH ENVY THAT ALTAMONT CAME IN ANOTHER COLOR
The Rolling Stones 1969 Livermore, CA Altamont Festival Speedway Green Concert Poster. An original December 1969 concert poster for the Rolling Stones playing at the ill-fated Altamont Festival which took place in Livermore, California on Saturday, December 6, 1969. This fell right after the Stones had concluded their big fall '69 tour of North America - their first trek through the States in 2 ½ long years.
We're extremely pleased that David Swartz has pulled the green version out of his world's-greatest concert poster collection and allowing us to auction it for him in this Spring sale. It's definitely scarcer than the orange version we've auctioned before.
The festival, the chaos, the legacy, the tragedy... every rock fan worth their salt knows what went down that day, especially reinforced by the Gimme Shelter movie which came out afterwards. And then reinforced again by the expanded DVD of that movie, filled with commentary by all the players and frame-by-frame analysis of the death that occurred in front of the stage during the Stones' set. (If you happen to subscribe to HBO/Max, Gimme Shelter is available for viewing there.)
