Page 70 has a 3 1/2 x 3 inch advertisement for three "KISS" concert performances at Madison Square Garden. (see image)
Note: KISS performed three consecutive sold-out concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City on December 14, 15, and 16, 1977, as part of their Alive II Tour. These shows were significant milestones in the band's career, marking their triumphant return to their hometown arena.
Each night attracted a full-capacity crowd of approximately 19,626 fans, underscoring KISS's immense popularity at the time.
These performances showcased the band's theatrical stage presence and musical prowess, solidifying their reputation as one of the leading rock acts of the era.
These concerts remain a highlight in KISS's storied history, exemplifying their peak during the late 1970s rock scene.
Page 66 has a 6 x 4 1/2 inch ad for two "Aerosmith" concerts at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York.
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 with 120 pages, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, small red library stamp on the front page, generally in very nice condition.
