Item # 717196
March 03, 1966
THE VILLAGE VOICE (weekly), Greenwich Village, New York, March 3, 1966
* The Beach Boys - American rock band
* Yankee Stadium concert advertisement
* A show that was cancelled - low ticket sales
* Judy Collins at Brooklyn College concert ad
The top of page 15 has a small advertisement for "The BEACH BOYS" concert at Yankee Stadium.
AI notes: The Beach Boys' scheduled concert at Yankee Stadium on June 10, 1966, was ultimately cancelled due to poor ticket sales and insufficient promotion. Despite being billed as a major rock event featuring popular acts like The Byrds, Chad & Jeremy, and The Cyrkle, the show failed to attract a large audience, with only a few thousand tickets sold for the 60,000-seat venue. The cancellation highlighted the difficulties of organizing large-scale rock concerts in stadiums during the mid-1960s, a time when such events were still relatively new and untested.
Another ad on the same is for a "JUDY COLLINS" concert at Brooklyn College. (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 with 40 pages, 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.
