THE VILLAGE VOICE (weekly), Greenwich Village, New York, Jan. 22, 1970
* Comedians Richard Pryor & Bill Cosby
* Very early Fleetwood Mac - rock band
Page 36 has a 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch ad for performances by: "SLY & The Family Stone; The Grand Funk Railroad; Fleetwood Mac & Richard Pryor" at Madison Square Garden. This is very early for Fleetwood Mac (undercard) and the first time they performed at this famous venue.
Page 34 has a 5 x 3 1/2 inch ad or a "The Bill Cosby Show" act at the Felt Forum inside Madison Square Garden. (see images)
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.
