The Maysles' discreetly noncommittal coverage of the Rolling Stones tour that culminated in a fatal stabbing at the Altamont free concert. The moviemakers adopt the safe, aloof role of johnny-on-the-spot reporters, and refuse to implicate themselves in the events beyond that. In doing so, they haven't exactly put all their cards on the table. Their cameras never catch as much as you'd like to see, but they catch enough, especially of the on-stage spectacle, to qualify this as a worthwhile, if sketchy, cultural document on the Stones, the Hell's Angels, Melvin Belli, Grace Slick, Tina Turner, and the avid rock audience.
