End of an Era
The Altamont concert is often contrasted with the Woodstock festival that took place less than four months earlier. While Woodstock represented "peace and love," Altamont came to be viewed as the end of the hippie era and the de facto conclusion of late-1960s American youth culture.

- I remember how shocked we were when the news made it to Hawaii about the concert. We were living on the North Shore of Oahu at the time. Our son was a wee babe at the time, preventing our traveling. In this case we were glad we had missed the concert.
