History Today: December 6, 2024

December 6, 1969: Nearly 300,000 people attended the Altamont Speedway in California for a free day of music, headlined by The Rolling Stones. The event would soon be declared "rock and roll's all-time worst day."

Antagonistic crowds clashed with the Hell's Angels, who were hired as security for the day. One man, Meredith Hunter, was killed by the motorcycle gang. It was captured in the documentary Gimmie Shelter.

PERMANENT DENTURES

There are several different types of Orlando Dentures And Implants, some of which function exactly like natural teeth, and are commonly called permanent dentures. The term “permanent dentures” is referring to, in dental terminology, “fixed dentures.” They are called “fixed” because they permanently placed in position and “fixed” in place.

17. So I guess it’s time to let go of my tears, to let you go on into the night, quietly, quietly, as you let the world go, voice cut from you by the surgeon’s knife, only your hands to say goodbye, touching the leaves of the lemon tree one last time, or Britta’s pale, shivering arm, or trying to hold forever in your eyes this olive-tree twisted in the valley winds, or this flash of sunlight off the high Sierra snows.

Hustling Across Illinois This is a westbound Amtrak National Limited in Altamont, Illinois.

We on the Conrail line between Terre Haute, Indiana, and St. Louis (former Pennsy/Penn Central). That’s a relatively new EMD F40PH (built in December of 1977) on the point of the train, which means the legacy cars here have been retrofitted for head-end power (HEP). The red Ford pickup truck completes the snowy Midwestern scene.

The National Limited would be discontinued on October 1st later that same year. One image by Richard Koenig; taken in February of 1979.
