Bottom verso edge has "Good Times Volume II No. 48 December 11, 1969."





Poster has five black and white photographs of people at a music festival. In the bottom center is "Altamont '69" printed vertically. Photos from top left clockwise: a hat with a sign for acid; The Rolling Stones performing; a fat man pointing; Hells Angels beating the crowd with pool cues; and woman dancing with wild hair. The free concert at Altamont was a dramatic loss of innocence for the hippie/counterculture movement, when Hells Angels beat an armed concertgoer to death. [LMC]
