Notes

James Anderson photos from that day

"41 arrests, numerous injuries and drug overdoses, and the death of a Jamaica, NY youth", who crashed his car on the way home. Martin reports that Shelly Finkel of Contemporary Concerts, Inc., having apparently not heard of Altamont, had hired gang members for show security.
