Altamont: The Inside Story of Rock's Darkest Day

Meet Me St. Louis presents Altamont: The Rolling Stones, the Hells Angels, and the Inside Story of Rock's Darkest Day.

Celebrated rock and roll journalist Joel Selvin (co-author of the NY Times #1 bestseller, RED, with Sammy Hagar) tells the definitive story of the Rolling Stones' infamous 1969 Altamont Speedway concert near San Francisco...a disastrous and historic musical event that, for many, marked the end of the idealistic 1960's. "The distorted twin of Woodstock," referred to in many rock and roll anthems, headlined such famed musical groups as: Santana; Jefferson Airplane; Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; The Rolling Stones; and The Grateful Dead. It also featured security by the Hells Angels and ended with their infamous stabbing of a young concertgoer.

A night of live music, memories, concert footage, and classic rock and roll! Q&A and book signing with Selvin following the program.
