Wow! Hold on to your hats folks! We at PAE couldn't be more proud to finally offer you the FIRST CGC GRADED EXAMPLE of this original Woodstock poster in our auction! We have been determined to offer you the widest variety of third party certified product available. Finally during early spring of this year we began receiving larger sized posters certified by CGC and we couldn’t be happier to share this new collectibles market breakthrough with you! In the past this large original Woodstock poster was only available in our Mega Sale. New CGC authentication of posters like this is a game-changer!
The Woodstock Music and Arts Festival is legendary. It represented the peak of the 1960's music scene. In many ways it also signified the end of the era. The poster for the event is iconic and deserves a place in EVERY collection! Woodstock was a notorious Grateful Dead performance. They were a band that rarely came through when faced with great expectation and hype. At Woodstock they had to play during the rain and were getting shocked by a poorly grounded set up. As a result Bob Weir was having a bad trip. It did not go well for the band that night. However the performances of many others including Jimi Hendrix CSNY The Band and Janis Joplin have become permantly etched in stone as some of the finest live sets ever!
This poster is quite clean and has no pinholes! It's amazing this pre-concert printing example has remained in such fine shape all these years as this issue is extremely rare and difficult to find undamaged due to its large size. This piece is sure to enjoy spirited bidding! Don't let this one pass you by! We may not see this issue again for a LONG time if ever!
