Page 73 has a nice full page advertisement for "OZZY OSBOURNE" concerts at local venues. (see images)
AI notes: April 5, 1982: Ozzy performed at Madison Square Garden in New York City as part of the Diary of a Madman tour. The setlist likely included hits like "Crazy Train," "Flying High Again," and several Black Sabbath covers.
March 28 & 29, 1982: These shows occurred shortly after guitarist Randy Rhoads' death on March 19. During this time, Bernie Tormé was briefly on guitar before Brad Gillis joined.
These shows were part of a turbulent but iconic period in Ozzy's solo career.

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 in 124 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
