Page 60 has a 5 x 3 inch advertisement for a upcoming "RUSH" concert at Nassau Coliseum.
Note: On April 6, 1979, Rush performed at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, as part of their Hemispheres Tour. This tour marked a significant milestone for the band, as it was their first as a major headlining act, featuring extended performances and elaborate stage productions .

Note: The 1979 tour was a significant period for the Village People, coinciding with the peak of disco's popularity. Their performances were known for high energy, elaborate costumes, and engaging choreography, reflecting the vibrant disco culture of the late 1970s.
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, very minor margin wear, nice condition.
