Quote
Mick Jagger, Himself:
[referring to Altamont]
We were scared. I mean it was scary. And these people were crazy and they were like standing next to you and we didn't know how to control it, stop it. It was completely out of our control. It was just a nightmare.
Keith Richards, Himself:
Everybody was fuckin' scared, man. I mean, I'm sure it was far more frightening for the people in the audience than it was for us.
Charlie Watts, Himself:
What we should have done was just closed shop and gone home. But, you couldn't. You got 300,000 people out there that had come, you know.
Keith Richards, Himself:
It's a - It's a hard line to call, you know. I mean, if we'd a walked off, I think there'd a been a riot. So, I just did the best I fuckin' could, under a bad circumstances, you know.
Mick Jagger, Himself:
It was just realizing that you were out of control. The whole thing was out of control. If you were in any kind of arena or theater, you can just leave, you know, off stage. There wasn't - you were very aware you were, sort of, surrounded; so, you were very vulnerable too - so, that was the feeling. That's why you shouldn't have been in this situation.
Keith Richards, Himself:
And then, some bastard gets killed, you know.
