Page 75 has a nice full page advertisement for a "The Bangles" appearance at Tower Records for photos and autographs. Also mention of them performing at the Beacon Theater and The Palladium in Manhattan. And page 77 has a full page ad for performances at The Palladium with one of the performers being The Bangles.

AI notes: On March 24, 1989, The Bangles performed at The Palladium in New York City as part of their Everything Everywhere tour, promoting their third album Everything, which featured the hit single “Eternal Flame” that would soon top the charts. This show followed a performance at the Beacon Theatre the previous night and was one of the band’s final major appearances in NYC before their 1990 breakup. While the exact setlist for the night is unconfirmed, it likely included hits like “Walk Like an Egyptian,” “Manic Monday,” and “In Your Room,” along with deeper cuts from their latest album. Held at the iconic Palladium—a prominent Manhattan venue known for hosting major acts in the 1980s—the concert captured The Bangles at their commercial peak during a pivotal moment in their career.
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 with 156 pages, tabloid size, one fold along the center, nice condition.
