AI notes: On August 23, 1975, KISS performed at the Calderone Concert Hall in Hempstead, Long Island, New York. This show occurred during their "Dressed to Kill" tour, just before the release of their breakthrough live album Alive! in September 1975. The band, known for their elaborate stage theatrics, makeup, and pyrotechnics, delivered a high-energy set that included songs like “Deuce,” “Strutter,” “Rock and Roll All Nite,” and “Black Diamond.” The Calderone show is often remembered for its intimate yet intense atmosphere, showcasing KISS just as they were on the brink of superstardom.
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 fold at the center, small library stamp on the front page, nice condition.
