NathanTerror at the Altamont Speedway
In 1969, there was a counterculture concert that took place at Altamont Speedway in Northern California. Performers included Santana, Jefferson Airplane, and the Rolling Stones. The concert had 300,000 people which would amount to half the fans at the Summer Jam. This was a smaller event but would go down in history as one of the most violent festivals ever. Someone was stabbed during the Stones’ set, an LSD intake led to someone drowning, and a hit-and-run car resulted in 4 people dying.
