Apparently, Mick Jagger didn’t know what was happening, but later saw it on a tape. They had hired the biker gang for security but didn’t know they’d end up killing someone. Does anyone here remember when that happened? Did they show it on the news?
The 60s was already chaotic, and that festival really ended the 60s, highlighting how bad and violent that decade was. My mom told me the 60s was a bad decade, but it was prosperous, unlike now.

The movie was probably "Gimme Shelter", addressing the killing at Altamont in 1969. I don't remember if it was on the news, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't. I saw the movie, but honestly? I can't remember much about it. I was never a Stones fan, and that solidified it.
