WOODSTOCK MUSIC FESTIVAL
1969 ORIGINAL PROGRAM
The 1969 Woodstock Music & Art Fair, held August 15–18 in Bethel, NY, featured 32 iconic acts, including Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Santana, Grateful Dead, and The Who. Spanning rock, folk, and blues, the three-day festival (which stretched to four) was a definitive moment for 1960s counterculture, featuring memorable sets from Richie Havens, Joan Baez, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
I have two original programs from the 69 festival. One has water damage and one is in great shape. I try not to open the pages too often, but will try and photograph all pages in a way that doesn't damage the spine. In the meantime, here's a collection of pages from the program -- a few of mine and some from the web
