AI notes: On August 10, 1987, The Cure performed their first headlining concert at New York City’s Madison Square Garden as part of The Kissing Tour, promoting their double album Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me. The six-member lineup—Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, Porl Thompson, Boris Williams, Lol Tolhurst, and Roger O’Donnell—played a 25-song set to a sold-out crowd of approximately 16,000 fans. Highlights included hits like “Just Like Heaven,” “A Forest,” and “Why Can’t I Be You?,” as well as deeper cuts such as “The Snakepit” and “A Japanese Dream.” The band delivered three encores, showcasing their mix of pop hooks and atmospheric gloom, and solidifying their transition from cult favorites to arena headliners in the U.S.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because there 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 144 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
