12-6-1969 in Altamont Speedway, Rolling Stones concert
Hells Angels killed a black guy that got close to Mick Jagger to give him some flowers while he was singing Sympathy for the devil song. The crowd thought it was part of the show and the band continued to play.
The exact words of Jagger when he finished singing and there was a real fight going on in the crowd. "I cannot see what's going on...i just know every time we get to a number something happens...." and continuous begging people to stop fighting.
Hell's Angels claimed the black guy was carrying a knife, which proved it wasn't true. Back then H.Angels were threatening all large rock bands to take them as "security" and it was impossible to say no. Of course this event was the end of their power.
I have the exact song in mp3, exciting stuff
