"At the close of the 1960s, America erupted. The optimism of the Summer of Love was shattered, and youth culture itself came under attack. Amidst riots, assassinations and the Vietnam War, the band that emerged as the most powerful voice of this new era was the Rolling Stones, who captured the anger and the frustration of a generation at war with the establishment. In December 1969, the band helped organize a momentous free concert at the Altamont Speedway. Planned as a celebration of the positive fires still burning at the heart of the counterculture, this chaotic and violent event would be remembered instead as the final nail in the coffin of the sixties dream. 50 years on, Days of Rage traces the Stones through this turbulent era, all the way to the concert that became rock’s darkest day. Featuring previously unseen footage of the Altamont festival plus eye-witness accounts from 1969 tour producer Ronnie Schneider, Stones’ tour manager Sam Cutler, Stones’ photographer Gered Mankowitz, Altamont reporter Michael Lydon plus many, many more…"
