Altamont Free Festival. December 6, 1969 in California - Headlined by The Rolling Stones, the infamous Hell's Angels were hired as security for the event after organisers mistakenly took them for 'noble savages'. Allegedly the Hell's Angels were paid in beer and became increasingly agitated and violent as they tried to manage the massive crowd. 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.
