Page 69 has a nice full page advertisement for "THE WHO" rock concert at Madison Square Garden. (see images)
Note: The Who's 1979 concerts at Madison Square Garden were a significant part of their "Who Are You" Tour, marking their return to the U.S. stage after the death of original drummer Keith Moon. The band performed five nights at the Garden: September 13, 14, 16, 17, and 18 .
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 128 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
