THE VILLAGE VOICE, Greenwich Village, New York, Dec. 21, 1967
* Grateful Dead - 2nd New York City visit
* Village Theater performance advertisement
* Jerry Garcia - Bob Weir - Ron "Pigpen" McKernan
* Andy Warhol pop-up book release party w/ photos
Page 28 has a small but very early advertisement for "The Grateful Dead of San Francisco" which performed two nights at the Village Theater. (see image)
The front page has a pictorial with heading: "Andy Warhol's Book Party: Pop-On, Pop-Out, Blow-Up" which regards his "Index Book" being released. 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.
Other interesting items from the counter-culture era. Complete in 40 pages, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, nice condition.
