Page 35 has a full page advertisement for upcoming concerts at Gaelic Park with a focus on the Grateful Dead. Other performers include Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath amongst others. (see images)
AI notes: The Grateful Dead's concert originally scheduled for July 30, 1971, at Gaelic Park in New York City was postponed due to rain and held instead on August 26, 1971. The show, attended by about 15,000 fans, was notable as Ron "Pigpen" McKernan's final performance before a medical hiatus.
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.
Other interesting items from the counter-culture era. Complete in 72 pages, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, minor margin wear, 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.
Alert: Many issues of The Village Voice contain articles and/or photos which some consider offensive, and are certainly inappropriate for children. Please purchase with discretion.
