California concert site featured in the documentary "Gimme Shelter"

Once upon a time, there was a big rock concert being planned in California. It was going to be the biggest concert ever held and everyone was very excited about it. People were looking forward to seeing their favourite bands perform live on stage and had saved up money to buy tickets for months.

The day of the concert finally arrived, and thousands of music fans descended upon the open field where the concert was being held. As the music began to play, the crowd grew restless, and tensions began to rise. Suddenly, chaos broke out, and fights began to break out all over the crowd. The situation quickly escalated, and before long, the concert had descended into total chaos.

This concert was known as the infamous Altamont concert and is often referred to as the “Day the Music Died.” It was featured in the documentary “Gimme Shelter,” which chronicled the events of that day.

Altamont is the answer to the crossword clue because it was the site of the California concert that descended into chaos and was featured in the documentary “Gimme Shelter.” Even though it was a disastrous event, it has gone down in music history as a reminder of the power of music and the importance of safety and preparedness at large-scale events.
