AI notes: On February 28, 1997, Porno for Pyros performed at New York City's Roseland Ballroom as part of their Good God's Urge tour. The lineup featured Perry Farrell and Stephen Perkins, with Mike Watt on bass. The show included songs from both of the band’s albums and was part of their final tour before going on hiatus later that year.
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 124 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
