On this day in rock history, December 6, 1969, the Rolling Stones held their infamous free concert at the Altamont Speedway in California. The event, intended as a “Woodstock West,” tragically ended in violence, including the stabbing death of a fan by a member of the Hell’s Angels, who had been hired as security. This incident is often cited as the end of the 1960s’ era of peace and love. #1969
