Item # 705765

April 12, 1976

THE VILLAGE VOICE (weekly), Greenwich Village, New York City, April 12, 1976

* Lynyrd Skynyrd - American Southern rock band
* Pre Ronnie Van Zant airplane crash disaster
* "Gimme Back My Bullets" album tour
* Beacon Theatre - Manhattan concert advertisement


Page 89 has a nice full page advertisement for upcoming "LYNYRD SKYNYRD" concerts at the Beacon Theatre in Manhattan. This was the year before the fatal airplane crash that killed Ronnie Van Zant amongst others.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their 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 in 144 pages, one fold across the center, small red library stamp on the front page, generally in very nice condition.

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