It starts out as a rather uninteresting documentary of the Rolling Stones helping to edit a concert in Madison Square Garden. They plan a free concert in San Francisco and much time is spent watching lawyers and producers wrangle over the details. The film takes a dramatic turn, at last, when the infamous Altamont concert turns into violent chaos as the cameras roll. It's about 1/3rd of an interesting film, but harrowing and impossible to turn away from once it gets going.
