A detailed chronicle of the famous 1969 tour of the United States by the British rock band The Rolling Stones, which culminated with the disastrous and tragic concert held on December 6 at the Altamont Speedway Free Festival, an event of historical significance, as it marked the end of an era: the generation of peace and love suddenly became the generation of disillusionment.
Editor's Verdict
"While the film's climax (the Altamont concert) occurs in early December, which is noted as a 'December Setting,' this timing is entirely incidental to the film's core focus, which is documenting rock and roll history and disillusionment. There are no traditional Christmas themes, plot drivers, or iconography present."
