Against a backdrop of social unrest and protests The Rolling Stones
entered 1969 as a successful blues band that had experimented with
psychedelia but were returning to their rock'n'roll roots. By the end of
1969 they had released a stone cold classic, lost one of their founding
members, played an era defining concert at Hyde Park to half a million
people and seen a fan stabbed to death at their concert in Altamont.
This is the story of how 1969 cemented the Stones as the greatest rock &
roll band in the world.
