It was a very different, more flamboyant and volatile, era.

Recently watched "Gimme Shelter" a documentary about the free concert at Altamont in 1970 that ended with someone in the Hells Angels (which had been hired for security!) stabbing a concert-goer to death. This film, according to some, documents "the end of the 60's" and marked the beginning of a much meaner era. (https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidchiu/2019/12/03/altamont-a...).

"Gimme Shelter" (the film) captures the band personalities in a really preceptive way. Watts is pensive and brooding, Jagger is mercurial and far-removed from Earthy reality.
