To set the record straight - the Stones did not tour with the Jefferson
Airplane
in 1969 (those honors went to Ike & Tina Turner, and I believe Chuck Berry
played some shows also). The Airplane did appear at the Altamont Speedway
gig with the Stones, and singer Marty Balin was punched out by a Hell's Angel
while trying to break up a fight. If you haven't seen it, watch Gimme
Shelter.
It's a fascinating documentary of the Stones trek through America in 1969,
and half the movie is devoted to the ill-fated free concert at Altamont.
