A detailed chronicle of the famous 1969 tour of the United States by the British rock band The Rolling Stones, which culminated with the disastrous and tragic concert held on December 6 at the Altamont Speedway Free Festival, an event of historical significance, as it marked the end of an era: the generation of peace and love suddenly became the generation of disillusionment.

"Doc on a free concert by the Rolling Stones at the Altamont Speedway outside San Francisco in 1969 (doc is from 1970). Not boring at all, no, not only by the performance but by observing the crowd, of which ALL looked strung out on something or another and some not wearing any clothes, oh my... Also not sure if it was such a wise choice appointing the Hells Angels as security, which I heard they denied. I could see a scuffle, but did not see actually see someone dying, which happened here..."
