Shure 565s 4 pin Microphone Vintage "The Woodstock Mic" w/original Velvet Bag Shure Brothers Incorporated Model 565s Unisphere I Dynamic Microphone This is "The Woodstock" microphone used for most all of the performances at the first Woodstock. This Shure 565s 4-pin still has a patent pending on it and is from the late 1960s. Made in the USA this Shure Brothers classic includes the original red Shure bag. This mic has not been tested. The original green foam Shure used in their cases deteriorated over time and bits of green foam are found on many of these older microphones including this one. The foam caused some corrosion on the aluminum attachment and some slight corrosion to the mic body as seen in pics. This mic produced the Woodstock sound and is hard to find as the "Woodstock" 4-pin as there are 3-pin varieties of this model as well.
