Meredith Hunter is page 14, but the whole sequence is interesting, especially Keith Richards looking completely out of it.

I lived in Alameda at the time and was planning to attend the concert. But when I heard the cars were backed up almost to Oakland, I gave up the notion. I've always been glad I did.

That’s a scary looking bunch. All of the men look like dykes except for Tom Jones, who has morphed into an octoroon in his old age. Ann Wilson looks like a dykey young folk singer; Debbie Harry and Tina Turner look like drag queens.

Before that, she was reluctant to let go of the “Acid Queen” persona.

I saw that movie in my local theatre.
I was still in junior high.
We sat in the second row.
What the "Acid Queen" scene did to my fragile impressionable little mind...

Yeah, and Robert Plant has been reduced to a Pewter God.

For those of us who were raised Anglican or Catholic, this scene was a shocking mindblower, even if church attendance was a thing of the past.

I can honestly say I hated "Tommie". Fuck The Who, especially Pedo Pete and Dull Roger.

All those twisted-up crips in the wheelchairs etc. in that scene are "Thalidomide Babies" from my very own generation.
I was raised Baptist, but the "communion" business still freaked my shit. Everything about that movie freaked me out anyway.
Too bad Clapton's only expression is "Deadpan."
Geez, what a fucked-up movie.

If you had as much Junk going through your system as Eric did, you'd be "deadpan" as well. Look no further than who the director was for why this abortion was the way it was.
