mostra di piùGeorge Christie is a dynamic and uniquely informed Criminal Justice Expert who turned his life around after a four-decade stint as President of the Hells Angels Ventura County. He founded Felony Prison Consultants (www.felonyprisonconsultants.com) in order to share the information he gathered during his several incarcerations with those seeking real-life advice. Christie, whose show Outlaw Chronicles: Hells Angels premiered on The History Channel (Link to Trailer) in August to millions of viewers, has appeared as a guest advisor on numerous television shows including 60 minutes, Larry King, CBS News and most recently on CNN .
The Altamont Speedway Free Festival was a counterculture-era rock concert held on Saturday, December 6, 1969, at the Altamont Speedway in northern California, between Tracy and Livermore. The event is best known for considerable violence, including the death of Meredith Hunter and three accidental deaths: two caused by a hit-and-run car accident and one by drowning in an irrigation canal. Four births were reported during the event.[2] Scores were injured, numerous cars were stolen and then abandoned, and there was extensive property damage.[3][4]
The concert featured, in order of appearance: Santana, Jefferson Airplane, The Flying Burrito Brothers, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, with the Rolling Stones taking the stage as the final act.[5] The Grateful Dead were also scheduled to perform, but declined to play shortly before their scheduled appearance due to the increasing violence at the venue.[6] "That's the way things went at Altamont—so badly that the Grateful Dead, prime organizers and movers of the festival, didn't even get to play," staff at Rolling Stone magazine wrote in a detailed narrative on the event,[5] terming it in an additional follow-up piece "rock and roll's all-time worst day, December 6th, a day when everything went perfectly wrong."[7]
Approximately 300,000 people attended the concert, and some anticipated that it would be a "Woodstock West."[8] Filmmakers Albert and David Maysles shot footage of the event and incorporated it into a documentary film titled Gimme Shelter (1970).
