AI notes: In December 1987, Rush brought their Hold Your Fire tour to the New York City area with three major performances. They played at the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, NJ, on December 7; Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, NY, on December 9; and capped it off with a high-profile show at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan on December 11. These concerts featured a dynamic setlist blending newer material from Hold Your Fire and Power Windows with classics like “Tom Sawyer,” “Red Barchetta,” and excerpts from 2112. The MSG show, considered a standout, included intricate lighting and synth-heavy arrangements, and was supported by opening act Tommy Shaw. This run solidified Rush’s reputation as one of the era’s most technically proficient and consistently engaging live rock acts.
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 164 pages, one fold across the center, very nice condition.
