AI notes: On October 29, 1988, Jane's Addiction performed at The World, a legendary nightclub in New York City known for its gritty atmosphere and eclectic mix of punk, hip-hop, and alternative acts. At the time, Jane's Addiction was riding a wave of underground success following the release of their major-label debut, Nothing's Shocking (1988). Their set at The World was intense and raw, showcasing Perry Farrell’s theatrical stage presence, Dave Navarro’s searing guitar work, and the band’s blend of psychedelic rock, punk, and funk influences. The performance helped solidify their reputation as a defining force in the late-'80s alternative 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 160 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
