AI notes: On January 29, 1988, KISS performed at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, as part of their Crazy Nights Tour, promoting their 1987 album Crazy Nights. Ted Nugent opened the show, and the band’s setlist included hits like “Crazy Crazy Nights,” “I Love It Loud,” “Detroit Rock City,” and “Lick It Up,” along with solos from individual members. The concert exemplified KISS’s high-energy, arena rock style during the late '80s and is remembered as a highlight of their Crazy Nights era.
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.
