October 17, 1977
THE VILLAGE VOICE (weekly), Greenwich Village, New York, Oct. 17, 1977
* KISS rock band concert advertisement
* 2nd performance at Madison Square Garden
* Love Gun - Alive II album Tour
* Aerosmith performance at Nassau Coliseum
Page 70 has a 3 1/2 x 3 inch advertisement for three "KISS" concert performances at Madison Square Garden. (see image)
wikipedia notes: Simmons reflected on the tour: The Alive II stage show was a big production spectacle. We realized fans were paying as much for a concert, which only lasted for an hour or two, as you would for a record album which you could play over and over again for the price of a concert ticket. A concert was over with the snap of a finger so what are the memories you take from it? We thought visuals should be a big element of a Kiss concert and we were constantly brainstorming about what we could do in the show.
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.
Provenance note: This issue comes from The Village Voice's own archives, part of their in-house collection used to create their digital archive. Rare as such.
Alert: Many issues of The Village Voice contain articles and/or photos which some consider offensive, and are certainly inappropriate for children. Please purchase with discretion.
