Here's an overhead view of the Diamond Head crater that resides next to Waikiki, Oahu, Hawaii. I lived in Waikiki around 1969/70 so I obviously saw Diamond Head everyday and I've actually been inside of it.

From the Wiki: "...often known as Hawaiian Woodstock, Diamond Head Crater Festivals, sometimes called Sunshine Festivals, were all-day music celebrations held in the 1960s and '70s, attracting over 75,000 attendees for performances of the Grateful Dead, Santana, America, Styx, Journey, War, and Tower of Power, alongside Hawaiian talent like Cecilio & Kapono and the Mackey Feary Band."

I was there to see Santana with my uncle. There was no public access road at that time. To get into the concert, everyone walked up a trail that went up over the rim of the crater and back down into it. You really needed to be dedicated to go there for a show. You can see the path at the far end of the crater in this picture.
