The Rolling Stones formed in 1962. They have become one of the world's most recognized and enduring bands. Their first show occurred on July 12, 1962 at the Marquee. The band's single '(I can't get no) Satisfaction ' held the #1 spot for four weeks and went on to become probably their most famous song. At a free Thank-You America concert given by the Stones, a young black fan, Merideth Hunter, was stabbed to death by members of the Hell's Angels motorcycle gang. The Stones had hired the gang- on the advice of the Grateful Dead- as security for the event. The murder was captured on film by the Maysles brothers in their documentary, 'Gimmie Shelter'.
