Featured saved 90's posters

glad i saved em

nirvana i have all of them, turned me from a 90s raver into a grunger

 

damn pretty good sir david

 

never thought you had it in you, but impressed

 

I worked at Penny Lane coffee house in Boulder, CO in the late 80s. Nirvana played there in 89, I was working the counter that night and have this handbill stashed away. They were relatively unknown then and traveling in a vw bus.

 

all i can say is ****ing WOW

 

kurt is my biggest hero, bar none

 

how did the gig go down buddy, did you catch much of it ?

 

late 80s was like early bleach album stuff, i'm not jealous

 

At the time they were just another grunge band to me. Hard to remember details but I always had a great time no matter who played, pretty sure we were all tripping. I do remember they set up too close to the men’s room door and I had to tell Kurt to move it. Penny Lane was just one big room, the stage was close to the counter so when I wasn’t serving lattes and cigarettes I would catch the all happenings.
Allen Ginsberg reading poetry, Jello Biafra screaming and ranting and Big Head Todd were more memorable for me than Nirvana at the time.

 

thanks for the insights buddy, you had to tell kurt

man, how cool is that

can't speak

thats dead as if like unbelievably so cool that i would die

 

Nice ones!!!

I believe I still have all of my posters too. Lots of promo posters. The record store across the street from my high school would give away all the promo stuff. I was late 90’s at that point though, not early. I have a big stack of the 12”x12” promo posters. I only wish I had taken more. I’d try to be modest back then. I should still have all my big posters I purchased too. I had a big Hole poster and a big Garbage poster. Shirley & Courtney my two crushes at the time. Hahaha. There was a big nirvana poster too. I was the worlds biggest nirvana maniac at the time. I still love the music, the idolization has passed. I just can’t believe you don’t love the Bleach era, that’s my favorite album of theirs.

 

just to put it all in context

 

These are the three mentioned above. I believe my parents saved them. They dismantled my cave while I was out sowing oats. I seem to recall them being good about preservation.

Just played this version and the Lead Belly version of this for my pops on the car last week. Soooo good!

 

Pulp! I think I wore my CD out… feels like yesterday.
