THE VILLAGE VOICE (weekly), Greenwich Village, New York City, Sept. 13, 1988

* Grateful Dead at Madison Square Garden

 * Nice upcoming concert performances advertisements


Page 51 has a nice full page advertisement for a upcoming "GRATEFUL DEAD" concert at Madison Square Garden.
Page 53 has a full page ad for two upcoming "VAN HALEN" performances in the NYC area. 
And page 56 has another full page ad for a upcoming "PAT BENATAR" performance at the Ritz nightclub in Manhattan. (see images)
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 156 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
