AI notes: In January 1985, Iron Maiden performed five consecutive nights at New York’s Radio City Music Hall as part of their World Slavery Tour supporting the Powerslave album. These shows featured their iconic Egyptian-themed stage with a giant Pharaoh Eddie and included a setlist packed with classics like “Aces High,” “The Number of the Beast,” and “Rime of the Ancient Mariner.” The concerts are remembered for their high energy, elaborate production, and strong fan reception, solidifying Iron Maiden’s status as a top live metal act.
Page 92 has a 8 1/2 x 3 1/4 inch advertisement for upcoming "Motorhead" and "Quiet Riot" concerts at the Beacon Theatre in Manhattan. (see images)
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 with 152 pages, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, very nice condition.
Provenance note: This issue comes from The Village Voice's own archives, part of their in-house collection used to create their digital archive. Rare as such.
Alert: Many issues of The Village Voice contain articles and/or photos which some consider offensive, and are certainly inappropriate for children. Please purchase with discretion.
