RARE Picnic At Blackbushe 1978 ORIGINAL SWEATSHIRT Bob Dylan Eric Clapton Rumour
$124.00
Original Sweatshirt (XL) from The Picnic At Blackbushe Concert in 1978 UK
featuring Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Graham Parker & The Rumour, etc.
The subject item is a RARE vintage collectible sweatshirt from 1978's "The Picnic at Blackbushe" concert featuring Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and Band, Joan Armatrading, Graham Parker and The Rumour, Lake, and Merger. The concert took place on Saturday, July 15th, 1978 at the Blackbushe Aerodrome in Camberley, Surrey, United Kingdom. Reputedly the biggest ever audience for Bob Dylan, this event was also one of the largest events staged by promoter Harvey Goldsmith (of Crystal Palace Garden Party fame), with over 200,000 in attendance. Eric Clapton as a second headliner didn't hurt as well!
Acquired this as part of a larger lot of memorabilia ; we have uploaded many pictures above of the sweatshirt. It appears to be in excellent condition with minimal wear. The inside fleece is soft, we don't see any holes, and the seams are intact in pretty good condition -- there's perhaps a little loosening at the seam under one of the armpits but it's not a hole. This sweatshirt appears like it really hasn't been worn much, if at all, over the years.
The subject item is, again, a rare collectible from a significant 1970s music festival. We can't really find any sales comps online of this sweatshirt, but see other styles from the concert asking $300-500 or even more. We are pricing this at an accessible level for fans.
