AI notes: On September 5, 1989, Neil Young performed at the Palladium in New York City as part of his Freedom tour. This period marked a significant return to form for Young, who was regaining critical acclaim after several experimental years. The concert likely featured a mix of acoustic and electric sets, showcasing tracks from his then-upcoming album Freedom, including the powerful anthem “Rockin’ in the Free World,” which had just begun gaining attention. Young’s performances during this era were intense and politically charged, with raw energy and introspective lyrics. The Palladium show would have captured his renewed artistic vigor and served as a preview of the full release of Freedom, which would arrive in October 1989 to strong reviews.
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.
