Page 63 has a nice full page advertisement for a upcoming performance by "FOREIGNER w/ Billy Squier" concert at Madison Square Garden. (see image)
AI notes: On October 30, 1981, Foreigner played a sold-out concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City as part of their 4 Tour, performing hits like “Urgent,” “Juke Box Hero,” and “Waiting for a Girl Like You.” The show featured an energetic setlist blending classic Foreigner songs and tracks from their then-new album 4, drawing over 19,000 fans. Billy Squier opened the night with a strong performance from his Don't Say No tour. The concert showcased Foreigner’s peak early-’80s rock power and was a highlight of their highly successful tour.
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 120 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
