Original 1st printing 18 x 24&1/2" concert/event poster (plus 17 x 24&1/2" unofficial reprint poster) for "An Aquarian Exposition- 3 Days of Peace & Music", (more commonly known as "the Woodstock Music & Art Fair", or simply, "Woodstock"), held at Max Yasgur's farm in White Lake, NY from 8/17-17/1969 (*festival actually formally closed on the morning of August 19th).
Bands/acts listed include: Joan Baez, Arlo Guthrie, Tim Hardin, Incredible String Band, Richie Havens, Ravi Shankar, Sweetwater, Bert Sommer, Sly & the Family Stone, Canned Heat, Creedence Clearwater (Revival), Grateful Dead, Keef Hartley, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Mountain, Quill, Santana, The Who, the Band, Jeff Beck Group (*canceled), Blood, Sweat & Tears, Joe Cocker, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Jimi Hendrix, Iron Butterfly (*canceled), Ten Years After and Johnny Winter. There were several lineup changes/additions not reflected on the poster, including the addition of Country Joe & the Fish, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Melanie, John Sebastian and Sri Swami Satchidananda.
Art by Arnold Skolnick, image is featured in the Art of Rock on page 257 (plate 3.1).
Medium-thick glossy-coated index stock poster is in excellent (B+) condition; there are a couple of very small diagonal pressure creases in the upper right corner, along with a couple of tiny black ink splotches (along the top margin and on one of the upper guitar pegs) and a few additional tiny pin-prick print hickeys on the bottom pegs, a couple of minuscule pin-prick surface dings/stress bends hiding within the image area (and one or two around the outer margins), otherwise it is a VERY sharp example.
As an added bonus, this lot comes with a copy of one of the better-quality reprint posters that I have seen (possibly an officially licensed reprint, but I'm not sure).
