On this day in 1969, The Rolling Stones played a free festival at Altamont in California, along with Jefferson Airplane, Santana, The Flying Burrito Brothers and Crosby Stills Nash & Young. During the show, Rolling Stones fan Meredith Hunter was stabbed to death -the Hells Angels biker gang had been hired to police the event. This concert is viewed by many to be the symbolic end of the Peace & Love movement of the 1960s.
