Sunday CALENDAR SECTION only of the Los Angeles Times, March 4, 1990
* Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation World Tour"
* American singer, songwriter, actress & dancer
* Great Los Angeles concert performances advertisement
* "Hollywood Walk of Fame" star dedication
Often revered as the undisputed "bible" of Hollywood, the Sunday Calendar section occupied a rare space in journalism where a single publication could simultaneously dictate global entertainment trends and govern the inner workings of show business. Today, physical copies are an absolute rarity, largely because they were printed on standard, ephemeral newsprint designed to be devoured and promptly discarded at the end of the week.
Pages 66 & 67 is taken up by a terrific double page advertisement for upcoming performances by "JANET JACKSON" at the Great Western Forum in Los Angeles. (see images)
Provenance note: This issue comes from The Los Angeles Times own archives, part of their in-house collection used to create their digital archive. Rare as such.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
Complete with all 112 pages, tabloid size in very nice condition.
Background: Janet Jackson’s back-to-back, sold-out performances at the Great Western Forum on April 20 & 21, 1990, marked a historic pinnacle in pop culture history, serving as a high-profile stop during her monumental Rhythm Nation World Tour—her very first headlining concert tour. The significance of this specific weekend was unparalleled; earlier on April 20, Jackson was immortalized with her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame before walking straight onto the Forum stage to deliver a masterclass in live entertainment. Driven by the tight, industrial-funk musical direction of Chuckii Booker and the groundbreaking, military-precision choreography of Anthony Thomas, the production bridged her landmark albums Control and Rhythm Nation 1814. These shows solidified her status as a global touring powerhouse, celebrated not just by roaring fans but by Hollywood royalty and the Jackson family themselves—including her brother Michael Jackson—making those two nights an unforgettable validation of her artistry and independence.
