Altamont Free Concert - Death of Meredith Hunter
During the Altamont Free Concert of 1969, an 18 year old African American man named Meredith Hunter was stabbed to death by a member of the Hell’s Angels Biker Gang. In the years since the incident, it has been told that Meredith Hunter was extraordinarily high and threatened violence by pulling out a gun during the show. Whether or not the Hell’s Angels member who killed him did it in defense of the Rolling Stones, of other concertgoers, or as a racially charged assault, this has gone down as one of the most infamous moments in rock and roll history.
