THE VILLAGE VOICE (weekly), Greenwich Village, New York City, June 20, 1977

• Lynyrd Skynyrd - American Southern rock band
• Pre Ronnie Van Zant airplane crash disaster
• Upcoming area concerts advertisement
• "Street Survivors Tour" - Nassau Coliseum

Page 55 has a nice full page advertisement for upcoming "LYNYRD SKYNYRD" concerts including one at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. 
Background: On June 16, 1977, Lynyrd Skynyrd delivered a high-energy co-headlining show alongside Ted Nugent at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, performing just four months before the tragic October plane crash that cut short the classic lineup. Fronted by Ronnie Van Zant alongside the triple-guitar assault of Gary Rossington, Allen Collins, and newly joined Steve Gaines, the band treated the Long Island crowd to a hit-heavy set featuring staple anthems like "Sweet Home Alabama," "Gimme Three Steps," "Saturday Night Special," and "Call Me the Breeze," alongside preview tracks like "That Smell" from their upcoming Street Survivors album, all capped off by their signature epic closer, "Free Bird."
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 in 100 pages, very nice condition.
