So I was 'today' years old when I learned that one of the cameramen at the Altamont Music Festival (Rolling Stones 'Gimme Shelter') was none other than George Lucas...
I was watching the credits after re-watching the film and under "Cameramen" was George Lucas. Yup... it was him!
He filmed the helicopter exit towards the end of the concert... apparently his camera jammed after just 100 feet of film.
But he was there... front and center...
Wow... What a way to be a 26-year-old aspiring filmmaker and watch that bit of history from behind a camera!

How is George Lucas is connected to the Altamont disaster?
Whilst George Lucas is hailed for his 'Star Wars', he's also connected to the darkest day of the counterculture, the Altamont Free Concert disaster.
