But the Altamont Free Concert wasn\u2019t just the end of the Stones\u2019 1969 US tour; it was, for many, the end of the \u201860s, a woozy bad-vibes fest that culminated with the killing (caught on camera) of a festivalgoer by the Hell\u2019s Angels. It\u2019s a harrowing film, but not just in that moment; the Maysles make the viewers breathe in Altamont\u2019s sinister air, the darkness tingeing the frame, the music, the fans, and the moment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I re-watched that film recently and yes, harrowing is the word for it.
