An artifact of Woodstock 1969 that is worse for wear, arms cut off, abused, worn and torn... BUT I love it... What makes this piece interesting is that this tee is a PROMOTIONAL shirt for the Warner Bros. movie - with an appropriate (for the event itself) 1969 copyright, not 1970 when the movie came out. Hard to find any shirts that are from the concert itself and not "the era" so the condition doesn't bother me. fascinating first hand account of Woodstock came with it (per my request). Another hippie artifact rescued!
special meaning for me! I was there but have nothing to show for it... caught up in the moment..or....72 hours.... good for you. hope you cherish it!
What a great find Hippie, and the letter of the owners memories of Woodstock tops it off! :^)
Thanks alientrouble - if you ever want to write down your memories of the 72 hours at Woodstock, would love to have them.
Thank you billretirecoll - I agree the history with it makes it more than just an artifact.
Your post is the only information I can find on this shirt. My dad had told me the backstory on when he purchased his and I wore it years ago & thought I lost it. He must have taken the shirt back because I just found it again today. I’ve posted an image on this site.
