background: On June 6 and 8, 1994, ZZ Top brought their Antenna Tour to two iconic New York venues, delivering powerhouse performances that blended their gritty Texas blues with flashy stage production. The June 6 concert at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan saw the band tear through a 21-song set featuring fan favorites like La Grange, Sharp Dressed Man, and Gimme All Your Lovin’, as well as newer tracks from the Antenna album such as Breakaway and PCH. Two nights later at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island, they expanded the setlist to 23 songs, kicking off with World of Swirl and Pincushion, showing off their evolving sound and stage dynamics. George Thorogood & the Destroyers served as the opening act for both shows, adding to the hard-driving, blues-rock energy of the nights. ZZ Top’s performances on these dates were marked by their signature synchronized moves, fuzzy guitars, and slick visuals, all of which reinforced their status as one of the most entertaining live acts of the decade.
Page 117 has a nice full page advertisement for the upcoming performance by "NINE INCH NAILS" w/ Marilyn Manson at the Roseland Ballroom in Manhattan. (see images)
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 in 160 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
