Ce documentaire de la tournée américaine des Rolling Stones en1969, est devenu un symbole poignant de la disparition de l'époque "Peace and Love". Après une tournée couronnée de succès au travers des Etats-Unis, les Rolling Stones effectuent en décembre un concert gratuit à Altamont Speedway en Californie. Le groupe à choisi imprudemment les Hells Angels pour assurer la sécurité. Les motards ont recours à la violence pour maintenir en ordre une foule agitée, stone, et souvent nue. Le résultat: des dizaines de blessés et la mort à l'écran d'un jeune homme noir (pendant "Sympathy for the Devil") par un membre de la sécurité. De façon arrangée, mais efficace, les frères Maysles filment Mick Jagger dans la salle de montage regardant l'assassinat projeté pour la première fois. Le film fonctionne aussi comme un documentaire du rock-and-roll, capturant la bande pendant leur moments les plus détendus, enivrant, et électrisant.
