1980 "Heart" live concert advertisement...

Item # 728848 ·
LOS ANGELES TIMES, July 6, 1980 (an original vintage newspaper leaf from the Calendar section)  This offering consists of four complete pages (two double-sided sheets on one single leaf) featuring a collectible print advertisement for a upcoming live performance by "HEART" at the L.A. Forum on one of the four pages.

In addition to the feature concert ad, which captures the era's unique promotional graphic design and typography, the surrounding pages provide a fascinating cultural snapshot of late 20th-century entertainment. Printed on authentic aged newsprint with genuine vintage toning, this original leaf is not a modern reprint, making it an ideal candidate for custom framing, local history display, or inclusion in a dedicated rock or pop culture memorabilia collection.

Experience music history in the making with authentic, original newspaper advertisements capturing the opening-night premieres of legendary live concert performances, sourced straight from the entertainment capital of the world.

Background: On August 21, 1980, rock legends Heart performed a headlining show at The Forum in Inglewood, California, supported by Little Feat during the North American leg of their Bébé le Strange World Tour. Riding the momentum of their hit fifth studio album Bébé le Strange—their first major release following the departure of founding guitarist Roger Fisher—sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson delivered a high-energy set that blended new hard-rocking tracks like "Even It Up" and the title track with their signature late-70s classics, including "Barracuda," "Crazy On You," "Magic Man," and "Straight On." The tour highlighted Heart's post-70s evolution into a slicker, arena-rock powerhouse, culminating in dynamic performances that featured Ann Wilson's explosive vocal range, Nancy's driving guitar work, and their iconic, show-stopping cover of Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll."
