Original 1st printing (OP-1, this version printed before the August 8th addition of Tiny Tim and Miles Davis to the bill) 19&7/8 x 29&7/8" concert/event poster for the third Isle of Wight Festival, held on the Isle of Wight off the coast of Southern England from 8/28-30/1970. Poster lists appearances by Richie Havens, Pentangle, The Who, the Moody Blues, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Family, Free, the Doors, Chicago, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Donovan, Good News, Ralph McTell, Jethro Tull, Taste (with Rory Gallagher), Melanie, Arrival, Lighthouse, Sly & the Family Stone, Joan Baez, Voices of East Harlem, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Mungo Jerry, Spirit and more. Design by Dave Roe, medium-thin flat index "fly-posting" (rough/tacky vellum reverse) stock poster is in excellent (B+) condition; a couple of tiny stress/handling creases here and there, a 1/4" tear in the right center margin, a couple of small thin diagonal bends in the lower left corner, a stray edge crease or two and a few light surface smudges, otherwise fine. Great-looking original European festival item with a great design and an unparalleled lineup. Here's about 10 minutes of footage from the Doors set; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rnzcxpk3LPI
