AI notes: On October 26, 1973, The Moody Blues performed at Madison Square Garden in New York City as part of their North American tour, supported by the Nicky James Band. Two days later, on October 28, they played Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, NY. Both concerts featured an identical 18-song setlist that included fan favorites like “Nights in White Satin,” “Tuesday Afternoon,” and “Ride My See‑Saw.” The set also included a suite of songs from their concept albums, such as “The Dream,” “Have You Heard (Parts 1 & 2),” and “The Voyage,” showcasing their signature blend of progressive rock and orchestral arrangements. These shows were part of a major tour following the release of their Seventh Sojourn album, and marked one of the last major live appearances before the band took a long hiatus starting in 1974.
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 128 pages, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, minor margin wear, small library stamp on the front page, generally nice.
Provenance note: This issue comes from The Village Voice's own archives, part of their in-house collection used to create their digital archive. Rare as such.
Alert: Many issues of The Village Voice contain articles and/or photos which some consider offensive, and are certainly inappropriate for children. Please purchase with discretion.
