In many ways, the Rolling Stones鈥� ill-fated Dec. 6, 1969 concert at Altamont Speedway four months after the love-in at Woodstock signalled the literal and metaphorical end of the 1960s. The free concert, in which Hell鈥檚 Angels were hired as security and paid in beer, ended with the stabbing death of an audience member. Albert Mayles鈥� landmark documentary Gimme Shelter, which captures the music, chaos and ultimate tragedy of this poorly conceived event, screens April 13, 8:30 p.m. at Vancity Theatre.
