AI notes: In October 1988, Bob Dylan delivered a legendary four-night run at New York City's Radio City Music Hall (October 16–19) as part of the inaugural leg of his "Never Ending Tour." These concerts marked a turning point in his live career, showcasing a raw, revitalized energy with Dylan leading a stripped-down band featuring G.E. Smith on guitar. The performances blended classic hits like Like a Rolling Stone and All Along the Watchtower with deeper cuts such as John Brown and Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream—the latter rarely played live. On the final night, October 19, Dylan stunned audiences with an impassioned rendition of With God on Our Side (including an added verse referencing Vietnam), a heartfelt acoustic Barbara Allen, and a fiery encore of Maggie’s Farm. Critics and fans alike hailed these shows for their unpredictability, vocal intensity, and the fierce commitment Dylan brought to each song—proof that nearly three decades into his career, he was far from finished reinventing himself.
Page 89 has a 6 x 4 3/4 inch ad for the recent release of Metallica's "...And Justice for All" album.
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 160 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
