LOS ANGELES TIMES, Sept. 28, 1986 (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 "DAVID LEE ROTH" with "Cinderella" 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 December 19, 1986, David Lee Roth brought his monumental Eat 'Em and Smile tour to the L.A. Forum for the first of two sold-out hometown nights, delivering one of the defining hard-rock spectacles of the decade. Serving as a triumphant victory lap following his bitter departure from Van Halen, the high-energy show showcased Roth at the absolute summit of his solo stardom alongside his virtuosic new supergroup featuring guitar prodigy Steve Vai, bass wizard Billy Sheehan, and powerhouse drummer Gregg Bissonette. Backed by an over-the-top, multi-tiered arena stage and performing explosive renditions of solo hits like "Yankee Rose" alongside classic Van Halen anthems, Roth's return to the Forum solidified his status as an unmatched frontman capable of commanding the rock world entirely on his own terms.
