1981 Van Halen MSG concert ad (1st)...



Item # 702721

March 24, 1981

THE VILLAGE VOICE (weekly), Greenwich Village, New York, March 24, 1981

* VAN HALEN hard rock band concert advertisement
* First performance at Madison Square Garden
* "Fair Warning" album Tour - North America
* Eddie and Alex Van Halen - David Lee Roth


Pages 70 & 71 has a terrific double-page advertisement for "VAN HALEN In Concert" with a strange background for Madison Square Garden. (see images) Great for display. This was the first time this group performed at the famous venue.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
It is worth noting that "The Village Voice" was an American news and culture paper, known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. Founded in 1955, the Voice began as a platform for the creative community of New York City.
Complete with 120 pages, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, very nice condition.

Provenance note: This issue comes from The Village Voice's own archives, part of their in-house collection used to create their digital archive. Rare as such.

Alert: Many issues of The Village Voice contain articles and/or photos which some consider offensive, and are certainly inappropriate for children. Please purchase with discretion.
