Altamont : the Rolling Stones, the Hells Angels, and the inside story of rock's darkest day / Joel Selvin.
In this cultural history filled with exclusive, never-before-revealed details, rock journalist Joel Selvin tells the story of the Rolling Stones' infamous Altamont concert in San Francisco, the disastrous historic event that marked the end of the idealistic 1960s. The product of 20 years of research and dozens of interviews with many key players, including medical staff, Hells Angels members, the stage crew, and the musicians who were there, this book recounts the final event in rock's formative and most turbulent decade.
Altamont Speedway Free Festival, December 6, 1969. A concertgoer was killed by a member of the Hells Angels, the notorious biker club acting as security. Selvin tells the definitive story of the Rolling Stones' infamous concert in San Francisco: last minute venue changes; bad acid; open displays of guns and knives. His research and interviews with many key players, including medical staff, Hells Angels members, the stage crew, and the musicians who were there, make this the ultimate account of the final event in rock's formative and most turbulent decade.
