Title:
Meredith Hunter Murder Caught on Tape at Altamont Rolling Stones Concert

Description:
The Altamont concert degenerated into mayhem when booze and acid-addled Hell's Angels, hired to keep order in front of the stage, discharged their task by beating concertgoers over their heads with leaded pool cues. Altamont's violence was capped by the murder of a young black man, Meredith Hunter. Captured on film, Hunter's murder cemented the festival's reputation as the official end of the 1960s counterculture. Even worse, Gimme Shelter showed that the counterculture was not going to redeem or change anything, especially the human impulse to violence. That this free concert could result in destruction and death (three others died that day) shocked the Woodstock Nation
