AI notes: In January 1985, Iron Maiden brought their monumental World Slavery Tour to New York City's iconic Radio City Music Hall for a historic five-night run from January 17 to 21, marking one of the few times a heavy metal band had ever headlined the prestigious venue. The shows were part of the tour supporting their Powerslave album and featured elaborate Egyptian-themed stage sets, pyrotechnics, and the massive Eddie stage prop, captivating fans and pushing the boundaries of theatrical metal performances. Each night delivered a high-energy setlist including staples like “Aces High,” “2 Minutes to Midnight,” “Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” and “Powerslave,” with encores often featuring crowd favorites such as “Run to the Hills” and “Sanctuary.” Variations in the setlists across the nights included deep cuts like “Phantom of the Opera,” “Wrathchild,” and “Losfer Words,” showcasing the band’s range and keeping die-hard fans on their toes. While the tour dates were initially slated for a longer residency, two additional shows scheduled for January 23 and 24 were ultimately canceled due to Bruce Dickinson falling ill, making the five completed nights even more special in Iron Maiden lore.
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 with 156 pages, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, very nice condition.
