Gimme Shelter Page #2

[Man] I read in one of the

papers that you'll be giving...

a free concert in San Francisco.

We are doing a free concert

in San Francisco.

- When?

- On December 6.

And, uh, the location is not

Golden Gate Park, unfortunately,

but it's somewhere adjacent

to it which is a bit larger.

It's creating sort of

a microcosmic society, you know,

which sets the example

to the rest of A merica...

as to how one can behave

in large gatherings.

This is Mel Belli,

the lawyer in San Francisco.

Uh, I'm-I'm talking

for the Rolling Stones.

We've got their managers

and their principals here.

I've just heard that you've

offered them your speedway...

for their performance

on Saturday, is that right?

- [Man On Speaker Phone] That is correct.

- This is an open phone so we can all talk on it.

What I'm trying to find out

is what we can do to do this concert.

For the last 36 hours, I've stood

my organization on its ear, Mr. Belli.

I don't know anything about this.

I'm coming in late and trying

to straighten something out.

So tell me exactly

what it is without...

Yeah. My first area

of policy concern:

I do not want this gesture...

on the part of Mr. Jagger...

to cost me five cents.

If a blade of grass is torn down,

they are going

to build it up again, you know?

I was involved in Woodstock.

I've represented rock groups,

and I've been involved,

both as an attorney and

as an executive, with festivals.

No matter what anybody tells

you, they're a pain in the ass.

[Belli]

Don't turn me into a proctologist.

Just tell me what I can do here.

Well, somebody tell me why I should

want to get this concert going.

[Belli] Are you trying to make it

so they can't do this?

No, I want it to happen,

but I'm not prepared to rebuild

my goddamn racetrack.

Will you come up and see

if you can work with me on this thing?

I'd love to work with you, Mr. Belli,

but are you working with Mr. Jagger?

I haven't met Mr. Jagger.

I've only met these other people here.

- Have you met Mr. Schneider?

- Yes, he's right here in the office.

All right, fine. He knows what

happened at our meeting this afternoon.

Then call me back

and with the thought...

see if you could come up

tomorrow morning.

- You and I can see what we can do with this damn thing.

- Okay.

All right, call me back.

[Schneider] There's no way to do

the concert except in that location.

As it stands now, you're gonna have

at least 100,000 kids there by Saturday.

You don't have any alternative.

The only thing you can do...

is to do an affidavit,

temporary restraining order

and talk to one of the judges.

So that brings us down to this.

Um, I'll call one
