1969 ROLLING STONES ALTAMONT FREE CONCERT: WHO IS TO BLAME?

Who’s to blame for the 1969 Rolling Stones Altamont Free Concert? This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) discusses The Rolling Stones and their haphazardly planned concert at Altamont Speedway in 1969. A reaction to the success of Woodstock, this concert was planned in just weeks. With The Hells Angels providing security for free beer, you can see not much thought went into safety and logistics. Where were all the grown ups? Was this Woodstock FOMO? Or did the sex, drugs and rock n’ roll mentality go too far this time? Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation. Join our Patreon!
