AI notes: On February 23, 1990, Ace Frehley delivered a powerful performance at The Ritz in New York City as part of his Trouble Walkin’ tour, playing to a packed crowd of die-hard fans in his hometown. The venue, formerly known as Studio 54, had been restored to its rock club identity and provided an intimate yet electric setting for Frehley’s signature blend of hard rock and swagger. Backed by a tight band, he tore through a set that included blistering renditions of solo tracks like “Shot Full of Rock” and “Trouble Walkin’,” alongside KISS-era staples such as “Cold Gin” and crowd favorite “New York Groove.” With support from opening acts Electric Angels and Icon, the night captured Frehley at a confident post-KISS peak, combining his spacey charisma with gritty, guitar-driven showmanship. Fans recall the show for its raw energy, surprise jams, and a setlist that honored both his solo career and his legacy as a founding member of one of rock’s most theatrical acts.
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.
