AI notes: On August 3 and 4, 1993, Stone Temple Pilots played two unforgettable shows at New York City’s Roseland Ballroom as part of their Bar‑B‑Q Mitzvah Tour, which also featured The Flaming Lips and Butthole Surfers. The first night became especially legendary when the band took the stage wearing full KISS makeup—a cheeky and theatrical protest against not being invited to contribute to the KISS tribute album Kiss My Ass. With a mix of irony and bravado, frontman Scott Weiland closed the set by telling the crowd, “Goodnight, you’ve been wonderful, we’ve been KISS!” These performances came at a time when STP was riding the wave of success from their debut album Core, and while setlists from the Roseland shows aren't publicly documented, it's likely they featured fan favorites like “Plush,” “Sex Type Thing,” and “Wicked Garden.” The energy of the venue, combined with the band’s bold stage presence and raw sound, made these gigs stand out as defining moments in their early career.
And page 63 has a full page ad for the upcoming "DEPECHE MODE" concert at Madison Square Garden.
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.
