AI notes: On July 10, 1976, KISS headlined their first stadium show at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, New Jersey, during the "Spirit of '76" leg of their Destroyer Tour. Despite the venue’s 35,000 capacity, only around 13,867 fans attended, likely due to safety concerns and low ticket sales. The concert featured opening acts Point Blank, Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band, and The J. Geils Band. The performance was professionally filmed in black and white and later released as The Lost Concert DVD, offering a rare glimpse of the band’s early stadium-stage presence.
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 128 pages, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, small red library stamp on the front page, generally in very nice condition.
Provenance note: This issue comes from The Village Voice's own archives, part of their in-house collection used to create their digital archive. Rare as such.
