AI notes: On June 29, 1990, The B-52's brought their vibrant, high-energy Cosmic Tour to the Meadowlands’ Brendan Byrne Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey, riding the wave of their smash-hit album Cosmic Thing. The show was a dynamic celebration of their comeback success, blending fresh hits like “Love Shack,” “Roam,” and “Deadbeat Club” with cult classics such as “Rock Lobster,” “Private Idaho,” and “Dance This Mess Around.” The band—Kate Pierson, Cindy Wilson, Fred Schneider, and Keith Strickland—delivered an electrifying performance full of quirky choreography, wild outfits, and infectious joy that had the crowd dancing from the opening notes of “Bushfire” to the final encore of “Channel Z.” With a setlist that perfectly balanced nostalgia and newfound mainstream appeal, the concert captured the B-52’s at a pivotal moment in their career: rejuvenated, radiating confidence, and proving they were still one of the most unique and exhilarating live acts of their time.
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.
