THE VILLAGE VOICE (weekly), Greenwich Village, New York, Jan. 24, 1984
* Ozzy Osbourne heavy metal concert advertisements
* Performance at Madison Square Garden & more
* "Bark at the Moon" album tour w/ Motley Crue
Page 72 has a 5 x 3 inch advertisement for "OZZY OSBOURNE w/ Motley Crue" concert at Madison Square Garden. Page 74 has another ad for the same performers but at the Meadowlands Arena. (see images) This tour is credited for the future fame and success of Motley Crue.
AI notes: On January 30, 1984, Ozzy Osbourne played Madison Square Garden in NYC as part of his Bark at the Moon tour, with Mötley Crüe as the opener. The show featured a mix of Ozzy’s solo hits (Crazy Train, Bark at the Moon) and Black Sabbath classics (Iron Man, Paranoid). Guitarist Jake E. Lee and drummer Tommy Aldridge were part of the lineup. It was a high-energy, sold-out show remembered as a major moment in 1980s metal history.
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 136 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.
