Rolling Stone Magazine Issue #42 — Woodstock 350,000 | Craig "Chief" Schertz Closet
An original Rolling Stone Magazine Issue #42, September 20, 1969 — the Woodstock issue — from the personal collection of Craig "Chief" Schertz.
This is one of the most iconic magazine covers in rock history. The headline reads "Woodstock: 350,000" — Rolling Stone's first major report on the festival that defined a generation, published just weeks after it happened. The cover photograph is by Baron Wolman, Rolling Stone's first chief photographer, capturing two festival-goers in the mud — raw, unposed, and unforgettable. Price on cover: 35 cents US / UK: 2/6. Published by Acme.
Craig Schertz was in the concert production world for decades — this issue is a direct artifact of the moment that made rock music a cultural force. One of the most collectible issues in Rolling Stone's entire run.
This is a genuine, original magazine from Craig's personal archive — verified provenance, one of a kind.
