AI notes: On March 21, 1975, KISS performed at New York City's Beacon Theatre, marking the opening night of their "Dressed to Kill" tour and their first headlining show at the iconic venue. The concert showcased the band’s energetic live performance style, featuring songs from their first two albums, KISS and Hotter than Hell, and highlighted their evolving stage persona as they adopted sharp suits rather than the full theatrical costumes used in earlier shows. This performance was part of a critical period in KISS’s rise to mainstream fame, as the tour supported their third studio album, Dressed to Kill, released the same month. The Beacon Theatre concert is historically significant because it was among the shows recorded for their landmark live album Alive!, which captured the raw energy and excitement of KISS in their early years and helped cement their reputation as one of rock’s most electrifying live acts.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their 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 120, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, nice condition.
