Page 61 has a nice full page advertisement for the "Music at the Meadowlands" rock festival featuring American rock band "BOSTON" amongst others. (see images)
Note: Music at the Meadowlands was a notable rock festival held on June 17, 1979, at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The event featured performances by Boston, Todd Rundgren's Utopia, The Outlaws, and Poco, drawing over 55,000 attendees .
Boston headlined the concert, delivering a dynamic set that included songs like "Rock & Roll Band," "Peace of Mind," "More Than a Feeling," and "Foreplay/Long Time." Their performance was enhanced by special effects, including fog machines during "Smokin'," and featured instrumental solos .
The festival was presented by WNEW-FM and began at noon, marking it as "Music at the Meadowlands #1." Boston was touring in support of their album "Don't Look Back," released in 1978 .
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 136 pages, one fold across the center, small red library stamp within the masthead, 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.
