background: On August 20, 1989, The Cure performed at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, as part of their “Prayer Tour” supporting the album Disintegration. The concert featured a moody, atmospheric setlist with tracks like “Pictures of You,” “Lullaby,” and “Just Like Heaven,” showcasing the band’s signature gothic sound. Opened by Love and Rockets and Pixies, the show marked a significant moment in alternative rock's rise to mainstream popularity, drawing a large crowd and highlighting The Cure’s status as a major live act by the end of the 1980s.
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 152 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
