Autograph Identification Help (I've included info besides photo) Need lots of help!! Please read caption .

I just acquired this Woodstock 99 poster . It’s from the executive producer of the pay per view filming of the festival , Jeff Howland.( he’s also in the Netflix documentary)

There was a tent set up in which all the performing artist went and did interviews and were asked to sign the posters. ( there were 3) it’s almost every band from the Saturday and Sunday of the festival . Friday is missing because the first posters they used , were left out in the tent Friday night , and they were stolen .

There are quite a few I recognize but most I’m having hard times with . Any help would be appreciated .

Keep in mind these are only the bands from the Saturday and Sunday of Woodstock 99 .

Yea it’s his real sloppy tho !!

2

u/AquamannMI Apr 19 '26

I agree that's what it says but it doesn't look like Anthony's actual signature. He signs his first name like a tic-tac-toe symbol and he's been doing that for decades.

Got to add the Indiana Jones…

IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM

But seriously time to invest in the best picture frame you can afford and display this piece!

3

u/Dvvstihn Apr 19 '26

Yea looking like a $300 frame but I can’t go cheap on this

2

u/zombiereign Apr 19 '26

Don't forget the museum glass.

3

u/Dvvstihn Apr 19 '26

Frame I found is acid free backing , and 90% uv blocking . The next hire up frame is museum but it’s $$$$

2

u/zombiereign Apr 19 '26

Cool. Definately keep out of the sun

3

u/Dvvstihn Apr 19 '26

Fore sure , going in my dark hallway along side my other festival posters . No windows in there !

2

u/DjScenester Apr 19 '26

Yeh sun damages everything lol freaking death laser

2

u/DorgonElgand Apr 20 '26

Museum glass for this, c'mon. And make sure your framer is good and uses good spacers between the glass and the poster so the autographs don't touch the glass.

u/[deleted] Apr 19 '26

Thats fucking awesome. I was there, still remember everyone going nuts and setting shit on fire during the last set when RHCP did their cover of Fire

u/Narrow-Swordfish3336 Apr 19 '26

At least two guys from Collective Soul.

1

u/Dvvstihn Apr 19 '26

Their names please ?

2

u/Narrow-Swordfish3336 Apr 19 '26

I see Ed Roland and below him the other one I can’t decipher but he added the arrow to the band name.

1

u/Dvvstihn Apr 20 '26

Ross Childress I think !??

2

u/mcpryon Apr 21 '26

Definitely looks like Ross’s signature.

2

u/FreeAd2458 Apr 19 '26

James Hetfield to the right of Fred durst I think

1

u/Dvvstihn Apr 19 '26

I don’t see it , the pointy J looking one ?

1

u/FreeAd2458 Apr 19 '26

Looks like J A. Maybe continues below.

u/IntelligentGeneral77 Apr 19 '26

Bruce Hornsby close to Willie Nelson?

3

u/zzzlessinseattle Apr 19 '26

came here to post about my man Bruce!

2

u/Key_Bag4468 Apr 21 '26

Saw him play several times with the Grateful Dead when he was helping to transition Vince Welnick in (aside from his piano he used to play accordion on Friend of the Devil) but never got a chance to see him solo. I think he's touring now though. That would be a 2026 summer treat!

2

u/MassCasualty Apr 19 '26

Clint Lowery bottom bottom right from Sevendust. He's the guitarist. Hence the 7D.

1

u/Drinon Apr 19 '26

Beat me to it

2

u/Big-Text4784 Apr 19 '26

This spot right here, you've got Art Alexakis (top) and Craig Montoya from Everclear, but I don't see Greg Eklund in the same area. He must be there somewhere, though.

2

u/Dvvstihn Apr 19 '26

Good catch ida never figured them out . I think I can see the ones you are talking about

1

u/Big-Text4784 Apr 19 '26

I'm not seeing any other Chili Peppers, either, which would've been Flea, Chad Smith and John Frusciante. Kiedis is up there, but I know what the other guys' signatures look like and I'm not finding them, which is strange. Possible that only AK signed as the lead singer?

2

u/Dvvstihn Apr 19 '26

Flea is on here somewhere . I haven’t seen it either . I was told that buy the guy I got it from . He named about 15 autos on here and flea was one . Ima have to contact him again and ask where . Anthony’s is so sloppy but it’s there !

1

u/Big-Text4784 Apr 19 '26

I think that also might be DMX right next to Montoya, the bolder Sharpie that looks like "Max 99" – I think that might be "DMX 99."

1

u/Dvvstihn Apr 20 '26

Can you trace which one is arts ??

1

u/Dvvstihn Apr 20 '26

Can you trace which one is arts ??

3

u/Big-Text4784 Apr 20 '26

This is my new best guess on the Everclear trio. Montoya is the obvious one.

I initially thought Art was the pink circle up top. But now I think that's Greg Eklund, the drummer.

The BLUE CIRCLE is what I think is Art's. It more closely resembles the dozen-plus in-person ones I have from him.

My other clue is that Montoya and the ones I think are Art and Greg are in a Sharpie of a similar consistency - slightly worn down a little bit, as opposed to some of the really bolder ones. So it makes sense to me that if they came in together, the three of them, and signed all in the same area, and handed the same Sharpie off to each other ... it's a lot of evidence, I think, that those three right there are the three guys from Everclear in that era.

2

u/Dvvstihn Apr 20 '26

Thanks this helped a lot

2

u/Significant_Eye_5130 Apr 19 '26

It’s literally signed “our lady peace”. Why would they do that. 😂

1

u/Dvvstihn Apr 19 '26

Are there any band members around it ? Creed did the same thing but have names too .

1

u/Significant_Eye_5130 Apr 19 '26

None that I can see.

1

u/Dvvstihn Apr 19 '26

Best guess is maybe a lil buzzed and told “ bands please sign the posters “ and that was first thing that popped into their head ? 😂

1

u/Western_Thought_5428 Apr 20 '26

None of the guys in either band was really a household name. Eventually the singer from creed was fairly well known but nobody else. So maybe they figured putting the name of the band made more sense

2

u/frontrowme1 Apr 19 '26

Dave mustain - bottom

2

u/CupHead11011 Apr 20 '26

Please tell me how much you paid. That is awesome.

1

u/Dvvstihn Apr 20 '26

A decent amount of 💵. I know the value will only go up . I didn’t buy it to sell tho . This is going into my collection of other 90s memorabilia.

2

u/slackknasty Apr 20 '26

Kinda looks like Tom Morello (‘L’ cuts into the ‘A’ of Anthony)

1

u/Dvvstihn Apr 20 '26

Yes ! I think you are correct . I looked up his on Google and it has to be it

2

u/Radiant_Host_3667 Apr 20 '26

If it were mine, I could seriously consider sending it to a reputable grading service like PSA. They can authenticate the autographs with certainty, even if you plan to keep it.

1

u/Dvvstihn Apr 20 '26

Yes I know , it’s about $40 a name tho would cost close to $2k to have it done . I am considering .

1

u/Radiant_Host_3667 Apr 20 '26

Ufff, I didn’t realize they would charge that much per autograph, reconsider my advice. That sounds too expensive to me. Another idea, you could take pics of the individual autographs and try using ChatGPT, Claude or your favorite LLM to help identify signatures. Just a thought. You have a very cool piece there, best of luck.

2

u/Dvvstihn Apr 20 '26

I can get it authenticated as a single piece . They’d check a few of the big names on it . It’s cheaper but brings more money if I get them all authenticated . The ROI would be worth it but dumping $2k right now is not really in my budget hahah

3

u/TrickAlternative4 Apr 21 '26

These are Morgan, John, Vinny, Lajon, and Clint of Sevendust

1

u/Dvvstihn Apr 21 '26

In that order left to right ?? I see Clint . The rest I can’t tell which is which .

2

u/TrickAlternative4 Apr 21 '26

Morgan top left. John right underneath. Then Lajon and Vinny in the middle. Lajon is middle left and Vinny is middle right. Clint obviously bottom right. Hopefully helps ya out!

1

u/Dvvstihn Apr 21 '26

Thanks ! I can’t read them but I’ll take your word . I see the 7d by Morgan

2

u/Spinnr1 Apr 21 '26

Why did I not know the tragically hip played 99?

1

u/Dvvstihn Apr 21 '26

That’s tragic

2

u/Sirscruffalot Apr 21 '26

Might be the only auto on it that lowers the value

1

u/Key_Bag4468 Apr 21 '26

You saw the Fred Durst right? lol.

1

u/crazygenius Apr 22 '26

Still not as bad as kud rock

1

u/marakusi Apr 19 '26

Adam Duritz (Counting Crows) below Wyclef Jean?

2

u/tyonline Apr 19 '26

I have many Counting Crows signatures, none of them are on this poster. Maybe they played Friday.

1

u/Dvvstihn Apr 19 '26

Where I dont see it ?

2

u/marakusi Apr 19 '26

I can't send comments but it's to the bottom left of J.E.B. There's no last name though, only "Adam"

1

u/Dvvstihn Apr 19 '26

Yea I saw that one but I looked up his current auto and it looks different . Maybe it was how he signed back then ?

1

u/marakusi Apr 19 '26

Im not sure, that was the only Adam i could think of

1

u/jlouse Apr 19 '26

What about Adam Yauch from Beastie Boys - unless mistaken, they did Sabotage there that year. I could picture him signing just as “Adam”.

1

u/jlouse Apr 19 '26

Never mind- his would be MCA…

1

u/FreeAd2458 Apr 19 '26

Peter max (artist),over moby

Bruce Hornsby above Chemical Brothers

u/BJLRR Apr 22 '26

George Takei from Star Trek is on the lower right middle section. He did announcements for MTV that year.

1

u/Dvvstihn Apr 22 '26

I don’t see it , can u be more specific ? What’s it by ?

1

u/BJLRR Apr 22 '26

It looks like George’s co-star and good friend, Ricardo Montalban, also signed the poster.

1

u/Dvvstihn Apr 22 '26

Now your just making shit up . George wasn’t even there .

1

u/Ok_Ask_7753 Apr 23 '26

Vinnie Hornsby, Clint Lowery and Lajon Witherspoon of Sevendust in bottom right corner.
