[Woodstock Festival]. Rare 1969 Woodstock Bootleg Tank Top Shirt.
Very rare bootleg tank top t-shirt from the legendary Woodstock Festival of August 15–17, 1969. Obtained at the concert by the previous owner, this is a very rare bootleg variation after the original bird-on-a-guitar artwork by Arnold Skolnick. In heavily worn and stained condition, with numerous small holes. No size or maker given but very stretchy and certainly somewhere in the region of a small-medium men's size.
As no souvenir t-shirts were produced for sale at the festival, the only available 'official' apparel from the iconic music festival were the extremely rare staff wardrobe pieces—shirts and jackets. Various bootleg designs were hurriedly produced, but while there were hundreds of thousands of people there, Woodstock became more well known after the event, when those people came home to tell all their friends, and when everyone else read about the circus in the papers on Monday. News in 1969 wasn't so immediate as today and for these shirts to reach the grounds, bootleggers had to have heard about the event in time, been able to find and adapt the logo, make the screen and tees, and then fight the miles of cars to haul their merchandise. In other words, while some shirts are known to have been sold there, the number is surprisingly few given the now legendary size of the festival.
Billed as "An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music," the Woodstock Festival was held at Max Yasgur's 600-acre dairy farm near White Lake in Bethel, New York, 43 miles (70 km) southwest of Woodstock. Over the sometimes rainy weekend, 32 acts performed outdoors. It is widely regarded as a pivotal moment in popular music history, as well as the definitive nexus for the larger counterculture generation. Rolling Stone listed it as one of the 50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock and Roll. Joni Mitchell described the legendary event as "a spark of beauty" where half-a-million kids "saw that they were part of a greater organism". In 2017, the festival site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
