Riff Raff

Woodstick, the Photos The first Terrastock psychedelic music festival, held in the summer of 1997 in Providence, R.I., produced an astonishing amount of post-concert ephemera. There were live CDs, commemorative 7-inches, and entire fanzines devoted to the festival, sponsored by British fanzine Ptolemaic Terrascope. There were magazine articles, photographs, and tapes of Terrastock-only musical collaborations. Several of those wares were actually on sale for the first time at the second permutation, held this spring in San Francisco. Terrastock II revisionism will start -- appropriately enough -- at Aquarius Records, the Mission shop whose owner helped organize the three-day concert. On Wednesday, July 15, "Retrogressing Terrastock," a group show of photos by Dianne Jones, Erik Auerbach, and Maya Hayuk, officially opens with a 6:30 p.m. reception at the store. The Bevis Frond's Nick Soloman, shot by Auerbach, is pictured above. (J.S.)
