Hells Angels murder at the Rolling Stones Concert (December 6th, 1969)

 

Rock 'N Roll legend says that members of the Hell's Angels motorcycle gang were hired to be security at the Rolling Stones' Free Concert in Altamont, held on December 6th, 1969.

At the event there were four deaths, the most infamous being that of Meredith Hunter. Hunter was an 18-year-old man who became embroiled in an altercation with some bikers and then drew a gun upon them. To this day no one knows if he pulled the gun before or after he was stabbed.

Meredith was stabbed five times in total and kicked to death during the Rolling Stones' performance. His death was recorded on film by cameras shooting the film Gimme Shelter, which shows the event as the Stones performed "Under My Thumb."
