AI notes: On May 30, 1987, Genesis performed at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, as part of their "Invisible Touch Tour." This massive world tour supported their Invisible Touch album, which had become a major commercial success, featuring hits like “Invisible Touch,” “Land of Confusion,” and “Tonight, Tonight, Tonight.” The Giants Stadium show was one of the largest on the North American leg of the tour. The band—Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, and Tony Banks—delivered a high-energy set that blended their 1980s pop-rock hits with older progressive rock staples like “Los Endos” and “Home by the Sea.” Their elaborate stage setup included massive lighting rigs, large video screens, and synchronized effects, enhancing the stadium experience for tens of 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 in 144 pages, tabloid-size, folded at the center, nice condition.
