    Description

    This is an authentic original two-sided (printed BEFORE the concert) handbill / flyer / ticket order form advertising:
    The NEWPORT FOLK FESTIVAL 1965 - The famous folk festival included Bob Dylan's controversial infamous first-ever electric performance. He had made his solo acoustic debut at this festival the year before (see my other listings for the handbill for that one) at this world famous festival.
    SPECIAL BONUS - Newport Folk Festival '65 Parking Pass!!!
    Headliners at this festival were:
    BOB DYLAN, JOAN BAEZ, Maybelle Carter, Reverend Gary Davis, Son House, Mississippi John Hurt, Memphis Slim & Willie Dixon, PETER Paul & Mary, Pete Seeger, Lightning Hopkins, Ian & Sylvia, Bill Monroe & The Bluegrass Boys, Odetta, Byron Berline, Chambers Brothers, Mimi and Dick Farina, Gordon Lightfoot, and many, many more.
    The festival took place July 22-25, 1964 at Freebody Park in Newport, Rhode Island.
    This is an extraordinarily rare item!
    It is a two-side 8 1/2 x 11 inch sheet that was folded in thirds vertically to be a trifold brochure and ticket order form that was mailed to their mailing list (this one is unmailed).  It is in VG+ condition, having a small stain on the bottom edge of the center one of the three panels (see photos), one single pin hole in one corner, very light edge wear, lightly bumped corners (it is 54 years old!) but is otherwise very clean and bright with no writing, other stains, holes or other significant damage or wear.
    The ticket order form has
    NOT
    been filled in and is completely intact.  This is the only 1965 handbill for this festival that I have ever seen! And as a special bonus item - Newport Folk Festival '65 Parking Pass.  In VG+ condition with a torn corner and some wear to two of the other corners.  I beleive this is how they marked that you had entered the parking lot as the pass was good for all 4 days of the festival.
    Please see photos for accurate image report.
