AI notes: On December 3, 1975, Black Sabbath played a memorable show at Madison Square Garden in New York City during their Sabotage tour, with Aerosmith opening the night. The setlist featured classic tracks like "Hole in the Sky," "War Pigs," and "Paranoid." During the performance, guitarist Tony Iommi was struck in the head by a thrown beer bottle, causing him to bleed but he continued playing without missing a beat, showcasing his legendary resilience. This concert took place shortly after the release of their Sabotage album and amid a challenging tour period that included Ozzy Osbourne’s recent motorcycle accident. The show is remembered not only for its powerful music but also for Iommi’s grit, making it a standout moment in Black Sabbath’s live 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, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, small library stamp on the front page, generally in very nice condition.
