AI notes: In March 1985, Roger Waters performed three nights at Radio City Music Hall in New York City (March 26–28) as part of his The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking tour. The final show on March 28 was broadcast live via FM radio, though the first set may have been recorded the previous night. The setlist featured a mix of Pink Floyd classics—like "Wish You Were Here," "Money," and "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2"—alongside the full Pros and Cons suite, ending with "Brain Damage" and "Eclipse." Waters was joined by a band including Michael Kamen, Andy Fairweather-Low, and Mel Collins. Recordings of the performance have since circulated widely, including under titles like Pros & Cons of New York – The Classic 1985 Broadcast.
Page 70 has a collage of upcoming concerts with one being a performance by "KISS" at the Meadowlands.
AI notes: KISS performed at the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on March 29, 1985, marking the final show of their Animalize Tour with W.A.S.P. as the opening act. The setlist included classic hits like “Detroit Rock City,” “Love Gun,” “Rock and Roll All Nite,” and newer tracks such as “Heaven’s on Fire” and “Under the Gun.” The concert featured signature solos from Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, and Eric Carr, and a soundboard recording is available online. Memorabilia from the show—such as vintage tees, ticket stubs, and framed collectibles—remains popular among fans and collectors.
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.
