AI notes: From September 6 to 8, 1988, Lynyrd Skynyrd performed three key shows on their Tribute Tour, marking their return after the 1977 plane crash. The run began with a benefit concert at The Ritz in New York City, followed by arena performances at Brendan Byrne Arena in New Jersey and Nassau Coliseum on Long Island. These shows featured Johnny Van Zant stepping in as lead vocalist, honoring his late brother Ronnie, and included classic hits like “Sweet Home Alabama” and “Free Bird.” The concerts were part of a historic tour that paid tribute to the original band while reintroducing Skynyrd to a new generation 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 136 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
