background: On August 19, 1989, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers performed at the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, NJ, with The Replacements as the opening act. Part of the Strange Behavior Tour, the show featured a 20-song setlist including hits like “Free Fallin’,” “I Won’t Back Down,” and “American Girl,” as well as covers of The Byrds, The Clash, and The Animals. The concert blended classic hits with newer material from Full Moon Fever, offering a memorable night of rock for thousands of fans.
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 144 pages, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, very 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.
Alert: Many issues of The Village Voice contain articles and/or photos which some consider offensive, and are certainly inappropriate for children. Please purchase with discretion.
