AI notes: On April 21, 1986, Ozzy Osbourne took the stage at the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey, as part of his The Ultimate Sin tour, supporting his fourth solo album of the same name. The concert was a powerful display of 1980s heavy metal energy, featuring a setlist that blended classic Ozzy hits like “Crazy Train” and “Mr. Crowley” with newer tracks such as the anthemic “Shot in the Dark” and the title track “The Ultimate Sin.” Backed by a skilled lineup including guitarist Jake E. Lee and drummer Randy Castillo, Ozzy delivered a dynamic performance enhanced by elaborate stage lighting and production typical of the era. The arena, packed with thousands of eager fans, buzzed with excitement as Ozzy’s raw vocal intensity and charismatic stage presence commanded attention. This show captured a moment in Osbourne’s career marked by both commercial success and personal turbulence, offering fans a memorable night of hard-hitting metal and theatrical rock spectacle.
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.
