THE VILLAGE VOICE (weekly), Greenwich Village, New York City, Feb. 24, 1987
* Early Megadeth - thrash heavy metal band
* Frontman & guitarist Dave Mustaine
* "Peace Sells... but Who's Buying" concert tour
* Performance at the Ritz nightclub advertisement
Page 100 has a 7 x 5 inch advertisement for a upcoming performance by the thrash metal band "MEGADETH" at the Ritz nightclub in Manhattan. (see images) The same page has a smaller ad for the same performance. This is pretty early for this band, 5 years prior to there hit song "Symphony Of Destruction".
AI notes: On February 21, 1987, Megadeth played a high-energy show at The Ritz in New York City during their Peace Sells... but Who’s Buying? tour. The lineup featured Dave Mustaine, David Ellefson, Chris Poland, and Gar Samuelson—both Poland and Samuelson would leave the band later that year. The setlist included key tracks like “Wake Up Dead,” “Peace Sells,” and “The Conjuring,” showcasing the band’s fast-rising status in thrash metal. The performance was intense, matching the gritty reputation of The Ritz and the band's growing momentum in the metal scene.
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 136 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
