Page 43 has a nice full page advertisement for a "Beach Boys - Eagles" concert at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, New Jersey. (see images) Interesting that the Eagles opened for the Beach Boys.
AI notes: On August 23, 1974, The Beach Boys performed at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, New Jersey, during a pivotal tour showcasing a transitional phase in their career. This concert featured core members Carl Wilson, Mike Love, and Al Jardine, supported by a talented backing band including Carli Muñoz on piano, Billy Hinsche on keyboards, and Jim Guercio on bass, with additional percussion from Ross Salamone and Robert Kenyatta. Notably, this tour marked the final official appearances of drummer Ricky Fataar with the group. The setlist blended classic hits like "Surfin' USA" and "California Girls" with newer, more experimental tracks such as "Sail On, Sailor," "Feel Flows," and "Marcella," reflecting the band's evolving sound amid the changing musical landscape of the 1970s. Sharing the bill with opening act The Eagles, this show captured a unique moment where The Beach Boys balanced their surf rock legacy with fresh creative directions in front of a sizable, enthusiastic crowd at the iconic outdoor venue.
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 104 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
