Medium-thin textured index stock mailer is in very good to excellent (B/B+ to B+) condition; there are three (slightly worn) factory folds (as issued), along with a pair of half-circle sticker remnants (also as issued, although the sticker has obviously been split), a light surface scuff above the girl's head ad a couple of very soft smudges and light handling creases here and there, otherwise fine.
Very neat little original concert artifact from the OTHER large East Coast festival held in August of 1969 (2 weeks before Woodstock), apparently this event came off very smoothly. Check out several minutes of audience-shot footage of the event HERE:
