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.
Note: Led Zeppelin's performance at Carnegie Hall on October 17, 1969, marked a significant moment in rock history. As part of their Autumn 1969 North American Tour, the band played two shows that evening—an early show at 8:30 PM and a late show at midnight. These concerts were notable as Led Zeppelin became the first hard rock act to perform at the prestigious venue since the Rolling Stones in the mid-1960s.
The concerts were met with overwhelming enthusiasm. Tickets sold out weeks in advance, and scalpers were reportedly charging double the face value. Despite management's attempts to control the crowd, the audience's energy was palpable, with many dancing on their seats. The band's performance was described as one of the most exciting ever at Carnegie Hall .
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.
