Item # 729155 ·
LOS ANGELES TIMES, Sept. 21, 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 upcoming live performances by "EDDIE RABBITT" at The Roxy Theatre 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: Eddie Rabbitt’s three-night engagement at West Hollywood’s iconic Roxy Theatre from October 9–11, 1980, served as a historic benchmark during the peak of his country-pop crossover career. Performing in a intimate venue traditionally reserved for rock and pop icons, Rabbitt showcased his signature fusion of country hooks and rock energy, riding high on the massive success of his hit single "Drivin' My Life Away" while treating audiences to material that would define his legacy—including "I Love a Rainy Night," which topped the Billboard Hot 100 just months later. The high-profile West Hollywood run bridged the gap between Nashville and mainstream pop culture, drawing a star-studded Hollywood crowd that included high-profile attendees like Sylvester Stallone, cementing Rabbitt’s status as one of the premier crossover acts of the early 1980s.
