AI notes: The Last Waltz (1978), directed by Martin Scorsese, is a landmark concert film that captures the farewell performance of The Band on Thanksgiving Day in 1976 at San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom. Blending live music with interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, the film features an all-star lineup of guest artists including Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Eric Clapton, and Van Morrison. Shot in 35mm with a cinematic approach, it’s widely regarded as one of the greatest concert films ever made, celebrating the legacy of The Band and the era’s rich musical landscape.

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 118 pages, tabloid-size, two small red library stamps on the front page, folded at the center, 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.
