AI notes: In May 1980, Rush performed four consecutive sold-out shows at The Palladium in New York City (May 8–11) as part of their Permanent Waves tour. These concerts marked a high point in the band’s rising popularity, featuring a powerful setlist that included “The Spirit of Radio,” “Freewill,” “Xanadu,” “2112,” and “La Villa Strangiato,” among others. The intimate yet acoustically rich venue amplified their technical musicianship, with Neil Peart’s drum solos and Geddy Lee’s vocals drawing particular acclaim. Photographer Bill O’Leary captured several of these performances, which fans regard as legendary moments in Rush’s live history.
Page 43 has a advertisement for the opening day premiere of the horror film "THE FOG", directed by John Carpenter. (see images)
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 112 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
