AI notes: On July 27, 1972, Black Sabbath played a powerful show at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, during their tour supporting the upcoming release of their fourth studio album, Vol. 4. The band, consisting of Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward, delivered a heavy and raw performance that captured their signature dark and doom-laden sound, thrilling a growing legion of metal fans. The setlist likely included classic tracks like “Paranoid,” “Iron Man,” and “Children of the Grave,” showcasing their evolving musical complexity and lyrical themes. This concert marked a pivotal time for Black Sabbath as they pushed the boundaries of heavy metal and solidified their legacy as one of the genre’s most influential acts.
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 80, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, small library stamp on the front page, generally in very nice condition.
