An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

Gimme Shelter, the 1971 Charlotte Zwerin, Albert Maysles, & David Maysles rock 'n' roll (rock and roll) music concert documentary ("The music that thrilled the world... and the killing that stunned it!"; "The fantastic Rolling Stones concert at Altamont, California where 300,000 young Americans went wild."; "Altamont changed a lot of people's heads") featuring The Rolling Stones, Jefferson Airplane, Ike and Tina Turner, The Grateful Dead, and Dick Carter. This is the movie that covered the Altamont concert where the Hell's Angels were invited to be in charge of security. They were responsible for the brutal beating and stabbing death of Meredith Hunter, an 18 year old black African American man. There were also three accidental deaths. The movie shows performances, violence, Grace Slick and Mick Jagger's attempts to cool things down, close-ups of young listeners (dancing, drugged, or suffering Angel shock), and a look at the Stones later as they watch concert footage and reflect on what happened.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that there are two different styles of one-sheet for this movie, both with similar layout and image, one that is three-color, and one that is black & white. The black & white version is far less common than the three-color version. Likely, this is because the black & white version was for the very first release, and the three-color version was probably issued after the movie received lots of publicity because of the killing that occurred at the concert.

Condition: good to very good. The poster has general fold and border wear and a single tiny pinhole in each blank corner. There is a ratings ink pad stamp in the lower blank border. It has a series of tiny indentations scattered in the left half, and some light creases scattered in various areas. The rare poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition, and while it could be displayed just as is, after a simple linenbacking it would look great!
