Page 99 has a nice full page advertisement for a upcoming performance by "NEW ORDER" at the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (see images)
AI notes: On August 4, 1993, New Order brought their Republic tour to the Brendan Byrne Arena at the Meadowlands in East Rutherford, New Jersey, delivering a powerful and emotionally charged performance that reflected both their synth-driven legacy and the shifting tones of their then-latest album, Republic. The setlist blended iconic tracks like “Blue Monday,” “Bizarre Love Triangle,” and “True Faith” with newer material such as “Regret,” “Ruined in a Day,” and “World,” offering fans a seamless journey through their evolving sound. With Bernard Sumner’s vocals cutting through the arena’s acoustics and Peter Hook’s signature basslines anchoring the performance, the show balanced melancholy with danceable energy. The band’s minimalist stage presence was offset by evocative lighting and visuals, creating a hypnotic atmosphere for the thousands in attendance. As one of their few U.S. shows in 1993, the Meadowlands concert captured a moment of transition for New Order—still resonating with their post-punk roots while navigating the early '90s alternative landscape.
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.
