Item # 707982

June 20, 1977

THE VILLAGE VOICE (weekly), Greenwich Village, New York City, June 20, 1977

* Lynyrd Skynyrd - American Southern rock band
* Pre Ronnie Van Zant airplane crash disaster
* Upcoming area concerts advertisement
* "Street Survivors Tour" - Nassau Coliseum


Page 55 has a nice full page advertisement for upcoming "LYNYRD SKYNYRD" concerts including one at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. This was one of the last concerts performed by the band prior to 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 100 pages, one fold across the center, 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.
