where the poor guy got murdered by the Hell's Angel. Never known a more intimidating atmosphere at a concert.

classic concert, that.
Think it was during Under My Thumb, the guy got done in. They had to stop the song.

Yep, see Jagger when that guy was on the stage just staring at him. He looked terrified.
This 8 minute clip illustrates perfectly how scary it must have been.

Death of Meredith Hunter
Lead singer Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones (who had already been punched by a concertgoer within seconds of emerging from his helicopter)[4][6] was visibly intimidated by the unruly situation, urging everyone to "Just be cool down in the front there, don't push around." Within a minute of starting their third song, "Sympathy for the Devil", a fight erupted in the front of the crowd, at the foot of the stage. After a lengthy pause and another appeal for calm, the band restarted "Sympathy" and continued their set with less incident until the start of "Under My Thumb". Some of the Hell's Angels got into a scuffle with 18-year-old Meredith Hunter when he attempted to get onstage with other fans. One of the Hell's Angels grabbed Hunter's head, punched him, and chased him back into the crowd. At that point Hunter returned to the stage where, according to Gimme Shelter producer Porter Bibb, Hunter's girlfriend Patty Bredahoff found him and tearfully begged him to calm down and move further back in the crowd with her, but he was reportedly enraged, irrational and so high he could barely walk.[11]
Footage from the documentary shows Hunter (seen in the film in a bright lime-green suit) drawing a long-barreled revolver from his jacket, and Hells Angel Alan Passaro, armed with a knife, running at Hunter from the side, parrying the gun with his left hand and stabbing him with his right. In the film, Passaro is seen delivering only two stabs, but he is reported to have stabbed Hunter five times in the upper back. Witnesses also reported Hunter was stomped on by several Hells Angels while he was on the ground.[12][13] The gun was recovered and turned over to police. Hunter's autopsy confirmed he was high on methamphetamine when he died.[14] Passaro was arrested and tried for murder in the summer of 1971, but was acquitted after a jury examined the video evidence showing Hunter brandishing the revolver and concluded that Passaro had acted in self-defense.
The Rolling Stones were unaware of the killing, and completed the remaining eight songs of their set without further significant incident. Hell's Angel Sonny Barger later claimed he held a gun to Keith Richards and said "You keep **in' playing or you're dead."[15] This is not seen in the film, nor is his claim supported by any other eyewitnesses.[9]
On May 25, 2005, the Alameda County Sheriff's Office announced that it was officially closing the stabbing case. Investigators, concluding a renewed two-year investigation, dismissed the theory of a second Hells Angel taking part in the stabbing.[16]
