Stuart Maconie presents a series which highlights some of the most influential days in the history of rock. Tonight's programme looks at how the hippy dream of peace, love and optimism came to a violent end at the Rolling Stones's Altamont show. The
Hell's Angels employed by the band to act as security, and paid with $500 worth of beer, turned on the crowd, and the show ground to a halt amid random violence and murder.
