Altamont was not more peaceful than Woodstock; in fact, it is often remembered for its violence and chaos. The 1969 concert, intended as a free festival, ended in tragedy with several incidents, including the stabbing death of a concertgoer by the Hell's Angels, who were hired for security. In contrast, Woodstock is celebrated for its spirit of peace and community, despite facing challenges like rain and overcrowding. Overall, Woodstock is viewed as a symbol of the counterculture movement, while Altamont is seen as a turning point marking the end of that era's idealism.

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. One person was fatally stabbed after brandishing a fire arm near the stage. A court ruled the death as self defense and only one Hells Angel was even indicted.
