AI notes: On January 23, 1986, David Lee Roth performed at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, as part of his “Eat ‘Em and Smile” Tour—his first major solo tour after departing Van Halen in 1985. The tour supported his 1986 solo debut album Eat ‘Em and Smile, which featured a powerhouse band including guitarist Steve Vai, bassist Billy Sheehan, and drummer Gregg Bissonette. The Nassau Coliseum show was known for its high energy, over-the-top theatrics, and Roth’s flamboyant stage presence. Fans were treated to solo hits like “Yankee Rose” and “Goin’ Crazy!” along with classic Van Halen tracks such as “Panama” and “Ain’t Talkin’ ’Bout Love.” The concert was part of a sold-out East Coast leg that showcased Roth's commitment to maintaining his status as one of rock’s premier frontmen even without Van Halen.
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 148 pages, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, nice condition.
