I'll go with that version with a big BUT! - there is absolutely no mention of Mr. E in "White Line Fever"

Names were changed to protect the wasted.

Yes I watched it again, and what struck me was the unpleasant, oppressive atmosphere that prevailed throughout. I'm not sure how much was down to skillful editing or just the fact that everyone there seemed to be fried on acid. It just looked like one horrible day but I suppose one hell of a story to tell if you'd been there. And I used to think that Neil from the Young Ones was not really a caricature. But evidently not - people really did come out with such impotent hippy crap How embarrassed they must be now

the sisters did use bikers as security for a time. the "wide receivers" credited at the end of the wake video are "boyd steamison for merciful release" and " the asfield mofos "; the ashfield mofos were a motorcycle club.
i know this for a fact because one of them is a very good friend of mine, as previously mentioned "here".

The first mention I recall of the Ashfield Mofo's was in the credits for the Mish's second album.I remember it,because one of the members used to live two minutes walk from my house,here in lovely Kirkby In Ashfield.

Thank you for this, sam1. Scanned it now, so if anybody would like to have a read ...

I could also send on the copy of record collector, if anyone might feel the need to get the whole of it ...

Actually, The Grateful Dead were the ones that used the Hell's Angels for security in the 60s....

They were supposed to play but refused because the crowd was so ugly

Dude#2 "Oooh bummer man"
Dude#3 "Yeah, bummer"

If anyone's interested in further reading around the subject, Hunter S Thompson's Hell's Angels is a fine account on how a small group of under-the-radar California bikers originally made nationwide press in around 1965.

Altamont came around just close enough to provide the Stones tie-in and immortalize the brand. Fashion victims, if ever.

My other half, Mel, (aka BassSlapper on this forum) did the cover photo/artwork for the re-issue of this book for Penguin...



And yes, it is a great read.
