Description

 Original 1st printing (OP-2 final state/final lineup version) 20 x 29&7/8" concert/event poster for the third Isle of Wight Festival, held on the Isle of Wight off the coast of Southern England from 8/28-30/1970. 

 Poster lists appearances by Richie Havens, Pentangle, The Who, the Moody Blues, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Family, Free, the Doors, Chicago, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Donovan, Good News, Ralph McTell, Jethro Tull, Taste (with Rory Gallagher), Melanie, Arrival, Lighthouse, Sly & the Family Stone, Joan Baez, Voices of East Harlem, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Mungo Jerry, Spirit, Tiny Tim* and Miles Davis*. (*added to the lineup after the 1st-state version was released)

 Design by Dave Roe, medium-thin flat index "fly-posting" stock poster is in excellent (B+) condition; just a few soft handling creases/pinch dings hiding within the image area, along with a very thin diagonal/horizontal roll bend in the upper left margin, a trace of light surface dirt/age spotting along the lower left/bottom margins and a bit of relatively minor corner/edge creasing, otherwise fine. 

 Great-looking mid-1970 European festival item with a fantastic design and an unparalleled lineup. Stream a compilation of clips from the event HERE:
