Displayed is an original poster for the appearance of Nirvana at Roseland in New York City on July 23, 1993, as part of the New Music Seminar. Roseland was originally founded in 1917 in Philadelphia and then transferred to New York City in 1919. The original New York City Roseland moved from its 51st Street location to 52nd Street in 1956. Over the years, Roseland featured dancing and big bands, such as the Tommy Dorsey and Glenn Miller Orchestras. More recently, Roseland was a multi-purpose venue that could accommodate 3,200 standing patrons, as well as another 300 in the balcony. This 1993 appearance let fans experience Nirvana as they performed songs from their upcoming third studio album In Utero, a release that would top the album charts in both the U.S. and the United Kingdom. Two singles from the album would reach Number 1 on Billboard's Alternative Music chart: "Heart-Shaped Box" and "All Apologies." In the New York Times, music critic Jon Pareles wrote: "The band ... reminds both old fans and skeptics of why it blasted out of the club circuit to begin with. ...The music weaves and undulates, conveying not the muscular certainty of most hard rock, but a struggle to break free of despair." The poster includes band members: Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, and Dave Grohl. After the suicide of Kurt Cobain in 1994, Nirvana disbanded. The band is in the Rock Hall of Fame. As for Roseland, the venue closed after a final concert by Lady Gaga on April 7, 2014. The poster represents the basic, no frills poster style of New York City at the time. Measuring 14x22", the poster has some speckled, tiny white spots where the color did not print, but is in otherwise very good condition. It recalls Nirvana at its peak.
