Altamont Free Concert
The Altamont Free Concert was held on December 6, 1969, at the Altamont Speedway in California. Organized by the Rolling Stones, the concert was intended to be a free event for fans, featuring several popular bands of the era, including Jefferson Airplane and The Flying Burrito Brothers.
However, the concert became infamous due to violence and chaos, including the tragic death of a concertgoer. The event is often seen as a turning point in the 1960s counterculture movement, symbolizing the end of the idealistic spirit of the era and highlighting the challenges of large-scale gatherings.
