This was a rock concert held at ________Speedway in Northern California. The concert was organized by The Rolling Stones, and was anticipated by many to be a "Woodstock West". Artists that played during the event included Santana, Jefferson Airplane and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. The Grateful Dead were also scheduled to perform, but declined to play shortly before their scheduled performance because of the increasing violence at the venue.

An incident which shot the concert to notoriety was the death of 18-year-old Meredith Hunter, who under the alleged influence of drugs "intended to do terrible harm to Mick or somebody in the Rolling Stones." He was intercepted by a member of Hell's Angels, who were incharge of security at the concert, (according to reports in return for $500 worth of beer), and who stabbed Hunter resulting in his death.

The documentary Gimme Shelter which chronicled the last weeks of The Rolling Stones' 1969 US Tour incorporated extensive footage from this concert. Name the concert.
