I'd like to use the same style of lettering that they used for the
original woodstock logo in 1969 but have been unable to locate it. 
It's hard to find in a search because there is a font named woodstock
but it's nothing like the one i'm looking for.  I have found some
fonts that are similar but none exactly the same.

Hi spudz72-ga,

It's hard to believe, but back then posters weren't designed on
computers. They were designed in messy graphic arts studios, with
scraps of colored paper, wax, glue, pens, markers, paint, scissors,
tape, lightboxes and ink all around.

As such, the main logo (the words "3 DAYS OF PEACE & MUSIC" on the following image)
http://www.thegreatillusion.com/woodstock-poster.jpg
was not made from any font. It was just painted freehand, or maybe
even cut out from a sheet of cardboard with a scalpel.

The large black writing, on the other hand, is possibly a style of
"Letraset" rub-on lettering. It's similar to VAG Rounded
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/adobe/vag-rounded/
but it can't be VAG Rounded because that was designed in 1979.

Would you like a researcher to look for a font that approximates the
large white writing, knowing that it certainly won't be identical?

Regards,
eiffel-ga
