Background: On August 24, 1977, AC/DC capped off a night in New York City by making a surprise, unannounced appearance at the legendary punk mecca CBGB—fresh off an earlier set down the street at the Palladium—delivering a notoriously loud, sweat-drenched, high-voltage set to a small, stunned crowd of local punks and artists. Marketed at the time alongside the emerging punk explosion due to their stripped-down, aggressive sound, the band tore through their Let There Be Rock era hits, highlighted by Angus Young mounting Bon Scott's shoulders during a blistering guitar solo and riding out the venue's doors straight onto the Bowery sidewalk to continue shredding his Gibson SG in front of bewildered passersby, a iconic moment captured in rock history by photographer Bob Gruen.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because there was really no reason to save it at the time.
The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
Complete with 82 pages, tabloid-size, nice condition.
