Item Description

At the Isle of Wight Festival, Dylan was the only monster on the bill capable of attracting a monster of an audience. In refusing to play the Woodstock Festival and in then letting himself be talked into playing the Isle of Wight, Dylan in effect was telling England’s counterculture: '”C’mon. Let’s hold our own Woodstock.'” And so, on the Isle of Wight, a dot of land that certainly wasn’t the easiest place in the world to get to, Dylan almost single-handedly proved an enticing enough attraction to collect an audience sometimes estimated to be as few as a 125,000 and sometimes as many as 250,000. Donated by DCPA Chairman Daniel L. Ritchie.
