Gimme Shelter ★★½ 1970
The ‘60s ended as violence occurred at a December 1969 free Rolling Stones concert attended by 300,000 people in Altamont, California. This “Woodstock West” became a bitter remembrance in rock history, as Hell's Angels (hired for security) do some ultimate damage to the spectators.
