AI notes: On March 27, 1990, Joe Satriani performed at the Beacon Theatre in New York City as part of his Flying in a Blue Dream tour, a pivotal moment in his early career following the success of that ambitious and genre-defying album. The concert was part of the broader Sound+Vision Tour era, and though no official setlist from that night has been archived, recordings from adjacent dates suggest a high-energy set featuring standout tracks like “Surfing with the Alien,” “Flying in a Blue Dream,” “The Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing,” and “Big Bad Moon.” An audience recording of the Beacon Theatre show exists—known among collectors as the "LL AUD" source, later remastered by Heywood—and is considered decent in quality, offering a raw glimpse into Satriani’s powerful live presence at the time. The Beacon’s acoustics, combined with Satriani’s virtuosic guitar work, made for a memorable show that’s still traded and discussed among fans, despite the lack of official documentation or a widely available setlist.
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 140 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
