Original 1st printing 16 x 30" concert/event poster for the second Isle of Wight Festival of Music, held in Woodside Bay on the Isle of Wight off the coast of Southern England from 8/29-31/1969. Poster lists appearances by Bob Dylan and the Band, The Who, the Moody Blues, Fat Mattress, Bonzo Dog Band, Family, Free, the Pretty Things, Marsha Hunt & White Trash, Battered Ornaments, Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation, Blodwyn Pig, Gypsy, Blonde on Blonde, Edgar Broughton Band, King Crimson, Richie Havens, Tom Paxton, Pentangle, Julie Felix, Gary Farr, Liverpool Scene, Third Ear Band and Indo-Jazz Fusions. Design by Dave Roe, extra-thin flat vellum stock silkscreen poster (day-glo pink version) is in near mint to excellent (A-/B+ to B+) condition; aside from a nearly-invisible soft diagonal bend in the upper left corner, a series of ultra-tiny handling dings and a stray stress bend or two hiding within the image area, it is an absolutely FANTASTIC-looking example of this extra-bright Bob Dylan/Who/Festival item with a great Dave Roe design.
