AI notes: On May 5 and 6, 1989, the Felt Forum at Madison Square Garden in New York City hosted a legendary pair of concerts linked to MTV’s Headbangers Ball, the definitive heavy metal TV show of the late ‘80s. These shows captured the raw energy and rebellious spirit of the metal scene at its peak, featuring some of the era’s most influential bands delivering electrifying live performances. The Felt Forum, an intimate venue within the larger Madison Square Garden complex, provided the perfect setting for fans to experience the thunderous sound and intense atmosphere up close. This event was a snapshot of metal culture during a time when thrash, glam, and traditional heavy metal were all thriving, and it helped solidify Headbangers Ball as a crucial platform for both established and rising metal acts. The concerts remain iconic among metal enthusiasts for their authenticity and the sense of community they fostered among fans and musicians alike.
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.
