After this final concert, John Stewart began a solo career, Nick Reynolds retired from the music business (though eventually he would return to the Trio) and Bob Shane attempted a solo career before re-forming the group as The New Kingston Trio.
Allmusic critic Jeff Tamarkin first compared the symbolism of the Trio's final concert taking place the same night as the Monterey Pop Festival. He wrote of the live album "Whether they would ever admit it publicly or not, for many of the Monterey acts, from Jefferson Airplane to the Association to the Mamas & the Papas, the Kingston Trio had served as a primary influence. The aural evidence shows that, up till the last minute... the Kingston Trio remained as engaging as they'd been from the start... The trio's vocal leads and harmonies are excellent throughout and they more than hold their own instrumentally...The Kingston Trio's June 1967 farewell was perfectly timed to mark the end of an era, and they went out in style."[2]
