The Grateful Dead comes East for the 2nd time...



Item # 701487

December 21, 1967

THE VILLAGE VOICE, Greenwich Village, New York, Dec. 21, 1967

* Grateful Dead - 2nd New York City visit
* Village Theater performance advertisement
* Jerry Garcia - Bob Weir - Ron "Pigpen" McKernan
* Andy Warhol pop-up book release party w/ photos


Page 28 has a small but very early advertisement for "The Grateful Dead of San Francisco" which performed two nights at the Village Theater. (see image)
The front page has a pictorial with heading: "Andy Warhol's Book Party: Pop-On, Pop-Out, Blow-Up" which regards his "Index Book" being released. I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
It is worth noting that "The Village Voice" was an American news and culture paper, known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. Founded in 1955, the Voice began as a platform for the creative community of New York City.
Other interesting items from the counter-culture era. Complete in 40 pages, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, nice condition.

Provenance note: This issue comes from The Village Voice's own archives, part of their in-house collection used to create their digital archive.
