AI notes: On February 5, 1977, Queen performed at the Madison Square Garden in New York City during their “A Day at the Races” North American tour. The show was part of the band’s promotion for their 1976 album of the same name and featured a powerful setlist blending hits from A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races. Songs like “Tie Your Mother Down,” “Somebody to Love,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and “Killer Queen” electrified the crowd. Freddie Mercury delivered a dynamic and theatrical performance, changing costumes throughout the night, while guitarist Brian May’s extended solos and the band’s intricate harmonies showcased Queen’s musical precision. The concert was met with enthusiastic reviews and is remembered as one of the standout American shows of the 1977 tour, emphasizing Queen’s growing dominance as a live rock powerhouse.
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, tabloid-size, folded at the center, nice condition.
