In what was a momentous year of social change, the Rolling Stones
experienced the most significant twelve months of their career. At
the start of 1969, they were a successful blues band returning to
their rock’n’roll roots after a recent experiment with
psychedelia. By December, they had released the classic album Let
It Bleed, lost one of their founding members, played an
era-defining concert at Hyde Park to half a million people and
witnessed a fan stabbed to death at Altamont Speedway. With a
notorious 1967 drug bust on their CV and a career finally coming
out from under the shadow of their rivals The Beatles, everything
– the good, the bad and the ugly – suddenly crystallised for
the Stones as the Swinging Sixties stumbled to a close. Rolling
Stones 69 is the definitive account of the transformative year that
saw the Stones truly earn their reputation as “the greatest
rock’n’roll band in the world”.
