Page 5 has a full page advertisement for the "Led-Zeppelin" concert at the Knebworth Festival in England. This was their first performance in 2 years since the death of Robert Plant's son. John Bonham would die of a alcohol overdose the following year. (see images)
wikipedia notes: Led Zeppelin had not performed live for two years, since the death of Robert Plant's son during the band's 1977 North American tour, and they had not performed in the United Kingdom for four years. Their manager Peter Grant decided that the band should perform at Knebworth instead of embarking on a lengthy tour.
The back page has a nice full page advertisement for the opening day premiere of the original "The Amityville Horror" film in Manhattan. (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.
Complete with 112 pages, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, very minor margin wear, nice condition.
