Gimme Shelter

Because Albert Maysles, who was partially responsible for bringing us one of the greatest moments in the history of cinema (when that dude from the Jefferson Airplane got his clock cleaned by one of the Angels in Gimme Shelter), died yesterday, here’s an appreciation of Gimme Shelter from Films and Filming. August 1971.
