Comment

The 60s were coming to an end and major experimentation with drugs was invading the culture. "Sex, drugs and rock n roll" was the way of life then. San Francisco was the Mecca for the drug culture. San Francisco bands like the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane found their way into rock's mainstream. This culminates with Woodstock where half a million people came to the concert and other at Altamont Speedway near San Francisco where the Stones were to give a free concert. Altamont ended in death and violence which brought an end to the '60s.
