1969 · [Woodstock, NY]
by Dwyer, Ed, Jr.; Michael Forman [Editor]; Bertram Cohen [Art Director]
[Woodstock, NY]: Concert Hall Publications, Inc, 1969. First edition. (The "f" in "3 days of peace & music" on front wrap is printed directly over a pale sunflower bud with no outline, making it hard to read; this was changed for reprint editions.) Unpaginated. Bound in publisher's stapled wraps with printed tissue first and last pages, some pages on thicker yellow stock. A Fine copy with hardly any shelf wear, very faint indent to top of first four pages. A bright, attractive copy. The program for the famous Woodstock Music and Art Fair, perhaps the defining moment of the '60s and the most famous festival in rock history. An ephemeral item, scarce in such nice shape. With the full three-day program on the final leaf, illustrated throughout, with an introduction "Words: No Title" by Bennett Sims. Full-page advertisements for the acts, including Joan Baez, Canned Heat, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Richie Havens, Janis Joplin, Ravi Shankar, The Who, Blood Sweat & Tears, The Band, Creedence Clearwater, Sly and the Family Stone, the Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, and Joe Cocker.
