Frequently Asked Questions
- What is What's Happening! Beatles in the USA / Gimme Shelter about?
- WHAT’S HAPPENING! THE BEATLES IN THE USA, 1964, Maysles Films, 81 min. The Maysles Brothers were commissioned by a UK TV station to document The Beatles' first US visit. After completing the 30-minute program, they fashioned the material they'd shot into a full-length feature - but their theatrical release in 1964 was squashed because of contractual conflicts. A truncated version appeared on US network TV once in 1964. But the original film has rarely been seen anywhere - and never in California.
GIMME SHELTER, 1970, Janus Films, 91 min. Dir. Albert & David Maysles. The film of The Rolling Stones' 1969 US tour that culminated in the cataclysm at Altamont. What was initially conceived as a Rolling Stones concert film became an eye-witness document of The Day The Music Died. The Rolling Stones' concert at the Altamont Speedway was the downer that sneered at the Apollonian highs of 1967s Monterey Festival and the love-fest at Woodstock 5 months prior to Altamont.
