THE VILLAGE VOICE, Greenwich Village, New York, Oct. 25, 1976

• Early Led Zeppelin - English rock band
• "The Song Remains the Same" concert film
• Opening day MSG movie advertisement
• Lynyrd Skynyrd - upcoming area concerts ad

Page 53 has a nice full page advertisement for the opening day showing of "The Song Remains the Same" film in New York City. Coverage of their 1973 concert at Madison Square Garden was used to make this movie.
Page 82 has a notice for upcoming area concerts for the rock band "Lynyrd Skynyrd". Pages 72 & 73 have smaller ads for this same group. (see images)
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 128 pages, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, a little margin wear on some unrelated pages, generally in nice condition.
