40 Years Ago: On December 6, 1969 The Rolling Stones headline the Altamont Free Festival in California. However, the infamous Hell's Angels were hired as security for the event after organisers mistakenly took them for “noble savages”.

In the ensuing carnage many were injured and four people lost their lives, including the most famous victim 18-year-old black man Meredith Hunter.
