Sunday CALENDAR SECTION only of the Los Angeles Times, Feb. 8, 1987
* "GENESIS" English rock band concert advertisement
* "Invisible Touch World Tour" at Dodger Stadium
* Phil Collins - Mike Rutherford - Tony Banks
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 63 has a nice full page advertisement for a upcoming performance by "GENESIS" at Dodger Stadium. (see image)
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 100 pages, tabloid size, very nice condition.
Background: The Genesis concert at Dodger Stadium on May 22, 1987, stands as a monumental cultural landmark, marking the pinnacle of the British trio's commercial explosion during the massive North American leg of their Invisible Touch World Tour. Performing to a sold-out stadium audience alongside opening support act Paul Young, core members Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, and Tony Banks—complemented by live touring musicians Chester Thompson and Daryl Stuermer—showcased their complete transformation from 1970s progressive rock stalwarts into dominant 1980s pop-rock superstars. Preceded by a high-profile press conference at the venue, the event highlighted the band’s unprecedented global reach, driven by hit singles like "Land of Confusion", "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight," and the title track "Invisible Touch." Featuring groundbreaking, state-of-the-art Vari-Lite stage illumination, a colossal sound production, and an energetic setlist that seamlessly blended mainstream pop anthems with elaborate, multi-part prog medleys, this landmark concert cemented Genesis’s status as one of the ultimate stadium-filling live acts of the decade.
