Page 43 has a nice full page advertisement for "BILLY JOEL" gigs at Max's Kansas City nightclub in Manhattan. (see images) He would perform here 6 nights in a row. This iconic album was release just one week prior.
Page 47 has a full page ad for a "The J. Geils Band" concert at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan.
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 112 pages, one fold across the center, minor margin wear, generally in very nice condition.
