THE VILLAGE VOICE, Greenwich Village, New York City, Oct. 9, 1969
* Early Led Zeppelin - English rock band
* First North American tour (Fall) advertisement
* 1st and only Carnegie Hall concert
Page 32 has a historic 8 x 5 1/2 inch advertisement for a Led Zeppelin concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City. This was the first time a rock band played there since the Rolling Stones 5 years earlier. And this was the only time they played at this venue. This was actually Led Zeppelin's very first North American Fall tour and also the 4th time they performed in New York City. This tour was to promote there very first album. They quickly became popular during this year as they were the opening act for Iron Butterfly just a few months earlier. This particular concert took place 8 days after the date of this publication. 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 72 pages, tabloid size, one fold along the center, nice condition.
