AI notes: The Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) performed at Madison Square Garden (MSG) in New York City on September 14 and 15, 1978, as part of their Out of the Blue Tour. These concerts were supported by the band Kingfish on September 15 and Trickster on September 14. The setlist for these shows included hits from their Out of the Blue album, such as "Mr. Blue Sky," "Sweet Talkin' Woman," and "Turn to Stone," alongside earlier classics like "Evil Woman" and "Strange Magic." The performances featured ELO’s signature blend of rock, pop, and orchestral elements, with elaborate stage setups including lasers and their iconic spaceship imagery. Fans on platforms like X have described these concerts as memorable, with one user calling the 1978 MSG show the "best concert" they ever saw.
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 104, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, nice condition.
Provenance note: This issue comes from The Village Voice's own archives, part of their in-house collection used to create their digital archive. Rare as such.
