Item # 728677
·
Sunday CALENDAR SECTION only of the Los Angeles Times, Nov. 22 1987
* Early "Guns' N' Roses" concert advertisement
* Hard "Sleaze-Rock music - "Appetite for Destruction"
* Axl Rose - Slash - Izzy Stradlin - Duff McKagan - Steven Adler
* Opening day premiere of "Planes, Trains And Automobiles" ad
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.
Page 78 has a 4 x 2 inch advertisement for upcoming performances by "GUN N' ROSES" at Perkins Palace (Raymond Theatre) in Pasadena, California.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because there was really no reason to save it at the time.
Complete Calendar section only with all 112 pages, tabloid size, very nice condition.
Background: The four-night stand by Guns N' Roses at Perkins Palace in Pasadena, California—culminating in the legendary live KNAC-FM radio broadcast on December 30, 1987 (often misdated on bootlegs as December 26, 1987)—serves as a pivotal landmark in rock history, capturing the band at the absolute precipice of global stardom following the release of Appetite for Destruction. These high-energy homecoming concerts showcased the group's raw, unbridled energy, notably featuring Cinderella drummer Fred Coury filling in for a injured Steven Adler. The high-quality soundboard recording of this run, packed with instant classics like "Welcome to the Jungle", "Sweet Child O' Mine", and early versions of "Patience", documented an explosive, unfiltered transitional moment for Guns N' Roses just before they evolved from gritty Los Angeles club icons into international stadium legends.
