Woodstock

"Only a few years after the hippie utopia of the Summer of Love, mid-70s San Francisco was embattled in violence and bloodshed. The racially-motivated "Zebra" murders claimed up to 70 lives, causing panic across the city. Jim Jones gathered his doomed herd at his headquarters on Geary Street. The Symbionese Liberation Army had kidnapped 19-year-old Patty Hearst from her Berkeley apartment and the Zodiac Killer was still on the loose."
