AI notes: On July 29, 1988, Robert Plant took the stage at Madison Square Garden in New York City as part of his "Non Stop Go" tour, promoting his critically acclaimed album Now and Zen. The show featured a dynamic set blending Plant’s solo material—like “Tall Cool One” and “Ship of Fools”—with nods to his Led Zeppelin legacy, although he carefully avoided performing too many Zeppelin tracks during this era. Backed by a polished band that brought a sleek, modern edge to his blues-rock roots, Plant delivered a high-energy performance characterized by his signature vocals and charismatic stage presence. Coming just two months after his appearance at the same venue for Atlantic Records’ 40th Anniversary concert (which included a brief Led Zeppelin reunion), this solo show reaffirmed Plant’s success as an independent artist stepping out from Zeppelin’s towering shadow, captivating a sold-out crowd in one of rock’s most iconic venues.
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.
