Description

 Original 1st printing 1st state (no acts listed) 4&1/2 x 7&1/8" blank-reverse concert/event handbill/card for the Woodstock Music and Arts Fair Aquarian Exposition in Walkill (*moved to White Lake), NY on 8/15-17.1969.

 Art by David Byrd, image (along with the final White Lake offset version) is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 257 (plate 3.2)

 While this early 1st state poster advertises no acts, performers at the now-legendary 3-day event included: Joan Baez, Arlo Guthrie, Tim Hardin, Richie Havens, the Incredible String Band, Bert Sommer, Ravi Shankar, Sweetwater, Canned Heat, Creedence Clearwater (Revival), the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, Keef Hartley, the Who, Janis Joplin, Mountain, the Band, Joe Cocker & the Grease Band, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Johnny Winter, Crosby Stills, Nash & Young, Ten Years After, Sly & the Family Stone, Country Joe & the Fish, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, John Sebastian, Quill and Sha-Na-Na.

 Medium glossy-coated index stock handbill is in very good to excellent (B/B+ to B+) condition; aside from a couple of fairly well-camouflaged handling creases hiding within the image area, a tiny spot in the top margin and a couple of tiny corner-tip dings, it is a fine-looking example of the original Walkill Woodstock card in unimprovable shape.

 FANTASTIC little original Woodstock artifact obtained directly from the family of event producer John Roberts. *We also have the matching poster listed separately.
