This 1970 release benefits from a horrifying serendipity in the timing of the shoot, which brought filmmakers Albert and David Maysles and Charlotte Zwerin aboard as the Rolling Stones&#8217; tumultuous 1969 American tour neared its end. By following the band to the Altamont Speedway near San Francisco for a fatally mismanaged free concert, the Maysles and Zwerin wound up shooting what&#8217;s been accurately dubbed rock&#8217;s equivalent to the Zapruder film. The cameras caught the ominous undercurrents of violence palpable even before the first chords were strummed, and were still rolling when a concertgoer was stabbed to death by the Hell&#8217;s Angels that served as the festival&#8217;s pool cue-wielding security force.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>By the time\u00a0Gimme Shelter\u00a0reached theater screens, Altamont was a fixed symbol for the death of the 1960s&#8217; spirit of optimism. The Maysles and Zwerin used that knowledge to shape their film: their chronicle begins in the editing room as they cut footage of the Stones&#8217; Madison Square Garden performance of &#8220;Jumpin&#8217; Jack Flash,&#8221; and from there moves toward Altamont with a kind of dreadful grace. The songs become prophecies and laments for broken faith (&#8220;Wild Horses&#8221;), misplaced devotion (&#8220;Love in Vain&#8221;), and social collapse (&#8220;Street Fighting Man&#8221; and, of course, &#8220;Sympathy for the Devil&#8221;). Along the way, we glimpse the folly of the machinations behind the festival, the insularity of life on the concert trail, and the superstars&#8217; own shell-shocked loss of innocence.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Gimme Shelter\u00a0looks into an abyss, partly self-created, from which the Rolling Stones would retreat&#8211;but unlike its subject, the filmmakers don&#8217;t blink.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_middle\"><div class=\"fcbkbttn_like \"><fb:like href=\"http:\/\/www.jensunmack.dk\/wordpress-3\/gimme-shelter\/\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"dark\" layout=\"standard\"  width=\"225px\" size=\"small\"><\/fb:like><\/div><div class=\"fb-share-button  \" data-href=\"http:\/\/www.jensunmack.dk\/wordpress-3\/gimme-shelter\/\" data-type=\"button_count\" data-size=\"small\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fredag aften p\u00e5 Mick Jagger&#8217;s 70-\u00e5rs f\u00f8dselsdag markeres her p\u00e5 siden med Gimme Shelter &#8211; ofte omtalt som &#8216;the greatest rock film ever made&#8217; &#8211; dokumentaren om The Rolling Stones, deres fatale Altamont-show i 1969 og hele hippiedr\u00f8mmens usk\u00f8nne d\u00f8d som s\u00e5dan.
