AI notes: On September 13, 1986, renowned Japanese composer and electronic music pioneer Isao Tomita held a groundbreaking outdoor concert titled "Back to the Earth" at Battery Park in New York City. The performance featured a fusion of classical compositions and synthesized soundscapes, enhanced by a dramatic multimedia experience including laser lights, massive video projections, and a 3D holographic image of the Statue of Liberty. The event celebrated both Tomita’s innovative musical style and a message of global unity and environmental consciousness, attracting thousands of attendees and marking a milestone in live electronic music performance.
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 136 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
