AI notes: Queen performed two iconic concerts at Madison Square Garden on November 16 and 17, 1978, during their Jazz Tour. These shows featured a dynamic setlist blending hits like “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “We Will Rock You,” and new tracks such as “Bicycle Race” and “Fat Bottomed Girls.” The performances were marked by theatrical flair, including a memorable moment where semi-nude women rode bicycles onstage. Known for their powerful live presence, Queen’s Madison Square Garden shows remain fan favorites, with recordings and remastered footage still available for fans to experience today.
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.
