AI notes: On October 10, 1989, the Rolling Stones played Shea Stadium in New York City as part of their massive Steel Wheels Tour, their first U.S. tour since 1981. The concert featured a mix of new material from their Steel Wheels album and classic hits like “Start Me Up,” “Brown Sugar,” and “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.” The show was marked by elaborate staging, including a giant inflatable figure and dramatic lighting effects. The band played multiple sold-out nights at Shea, with Living Colour as the opening act. This tour marked a major comeback for the Stones and set new standards for arena rock concerts.
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 160 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
