The Hell's Angels allegedly were hired by The Rolling Stones for security. Unfortunately the concert in Altamont was a disaster because the Hell's Angels were violent throughout the concert, eventually killing one of the spectators.

What happen altimont with the rolling stones?
The Altamont Speedway Free Festival was a rock concert held on Saturday, December 6, 1969, at the Altamont Speedway in northern California. It was organized and headlined by the Rolling Stones. The concert is chronicled in the documentary/performance film Gimme Shelter.The event is best known for having been marred by considerable violence, including a homicide.Regarding the homicide: accounts of the specifics differ: Wilkipedia has a thorough article about what appears to have happened. In summary, Meredith Hunter, an 18-year-old, brandished a revolver near the stage. He was then surrounded by members of the Hells Angels who stabbed -- and some say stomped -- him to death. The Hells Angels were acting in sort of a "quasi" security capacity at the concert: they had been invited to keep people off the stage and away from the generators, in exchange for free beer.

Which band had the Hells Angels as security at one of their concerts?
The Rolling Stones hired the Hell's Angels for security at California's Altamont Speedway in 1969 having used them on several other occasions without any problems. Like many of the audience most of the Hell's Angels drank too much and dropped acid among other types of drugs, using pool cues as weapons as well as throwing full cans of beer at anyone they thought was going to cause trouble. The Hell's Angels encircled the rather low stage to protect the performers, but only succeeded in making it a 'party time' event for themselves. On one occasion during the Jefferson Airplane's set Marty Balin was knocked out by a Hell's Angel near the stage. 18 year old Meredith Hunter, a black man, was near the stage with a knife and gun and the Hell's Angels beat him to death with their pool cues. Mick Jaggar tried to calm everyone down (called an ambulance) and had no choice, but to continue on with the concert or more violence would break out.
In 1969 where was a California concert that The Rolling Stones played in?
Altamont, near San Francisco. Notorious for the fact that the Stones hired the local Hells Angels MC as "security", and they beat some guy to death about 10 feet in front of the stage, all captured nicely on film.. This event, among others, is often mentioned as the 'end of the Hippie/Woodstock/Peace & Love" era - along with the Manson/Tate murders and the inauguration of Richard Nixon. Soon Jimi and Janis were dead, and Jim Morrison followed not long after.

Most likely, but not as any organized effort. Do not confuse Woodstock of Aug 1969 with Altamont December 1969 where the Rolling Stones allegedly hired the Hells Angels to provide security.
