AI notes: On December 31, 1975, KISS performed a high-energy New Year’s Eve concert at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, Long Island, during their Alive! Tour, which helped propel them to stardom. Known for their explosive stage show, the band delivered a theatrically charged performance featuring pyrotechnics, fire-breathing, and blood-spitting by Gene Simmons. The setlist likely included hits like “Deuce,” “Strutter,” “Hotter Than Hell,” and “Rock and Roll All Nite.” This show capped off a breakout year for KISS, with Alive!—their first live album—cementing their reputation as one of rock’s most electrifying acts.
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 with 136, tabloid-size, a few creases , small library stamp across the dateline on the front page, nice condition.
