THE VILLAGE VOICE (weekly), Greenwich Village, New York, Jan. 9, 1969
* The Doors - Jim Morrison counterculture rock band
* First & only Madison Square Garden concert show
* Considered there 1st big venue performance advertisement
* Year of the Woodstock music festival in Bethel, New York
Page 34 has a 5 x 3/12 inch advertisement for "The DOORS" concert at Madison Square Garden. This was there first & only appearance at the famous venue. This was also just the 2nd time a rock band played there with Cream being the 1st just a few months prior.
AI notes: On January 24, 1969, The Doors performed at Madison Square Garden in New York City, marking a significant moment in their career as their first show at the iconic venue. The concert took place during their Waiting for the Sun tour and attracted a massive crowd. Jim Morrison delivered a dramatic and unpredictable performance, reinforcing his reputation as a volatile frontman. The band played a mix of hits like “Light My Fire” and “Hello, I Love You” along with newer material, offering a powerful yet erratic show that highlighted their prominence in the late 1960s rock scene.
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.
