Item Description
16x30" paper poster for Aug. 30-31, 1969 concert event that took place at Wootton, England. The second of three music festivals held on the Isle of Wight between 1968 and 1970, it was organized by Fiery Creations (aka brothers Ronnie and Ray Foulk). It became a legendary event largely due to the reappearance of Bob Dylan, who hadn't played publicly for three years following a near fatal motorcycle accident in July, 1966. Other acts included The Who, Moody Blues, Joe Cocker, Fat Mattress, Free, King Crimson, Ritchie Havens, Pentangle and more. Striking dayglo yellow/black design w/central image of a towering King Kong as a winged fairy w/magic wand. Poster has some handling wear along margins w/wear being more noticeable at top. Top left has 5/8x1" corner piece off. Fine overall, but would nice if matted and framed. Poster was also printed on dayglo pink paper, this yellow variety being a scarcer color.
