RIP Meredith Hunter, 38 years on
« on: December 06, 2007, 03:47:29 PM »
On this day in 1969 Meredith Hunter was fatally stabbed at the Stones concert at Altamont.  The stabbing was caught on film, and 'The Sixties' were officially declared over.

For 2 frink points, what song were the Stones playing when it happened?

I wanna say "Sympathy for the Devil".  Been a while since I saw Gimme Shelter all the way thru.

No, but that's what most people think, because it's the song that they famously wouldn't play in concert again for over a decade.

Were they covering "Mack the Knife?"

*rimshot*

Sorry, that should have been in the stupid jokes thread.

I will go with "Heart of Stone."

Midnight Rambler? Haven't seen Gimme Shelter in years.

I saw the movie for the first time a few months ago.  Pretty sure it was "Under My Thumb."
