AI notes: Lollapalooza 1993 at Waterloo Village in Stanhope, New Jersey—held on July 12, 13, and 16—was a defining moment of the early '90s alternative rock explosion, bringing together a wildly eclectic mix of genres and emerging legends. The main stage lineup featured powerhouse acts like Alice in Chains, Primus, Tool, Dinosaur Jr., Rage Against the Machine, Fishbone, Arrested Development, Front 242, and Babes in Toyland, offering a genre-bending experience that ranged from grunge and funk metal to hip hop and industrial. Rage Against the Machine delivered a searing set on July 16, tearing through politically charged tracks like “Killing in the Name” and “Bombtrack,” while Primus's July 13 performance, joined briefly by Alice in Chains’ Jerry Cantrell, showcased their bizarre brilliance with songs like “My Name Is Mud.” Side stages featured then-rising acts like The Verve and Luscious Jackson, giving fans a chance to witness future headliners in intimate settings. Against the backdrop of a rustic, open-air venue, the festival pulsed with youthful energy, rebellious spirit, and a palpable sense that something transformative was happening in music culture.
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.
