Item Description
11x17" photocopy (xerographic print) on thin pink stock. Promoting a concert in Charlottesville, VA at "Crossroads Concert Hall Formerly Trax & Sports Bar" on Tue. Sep. 27, 1994 featuring opening band Madder Rose & Hole who was then touring in support of Live Through This, the band's critically acclaimed second full-length LP. One vertical and three horizontal creases. Puncture at top center affecting top text, tiny stain to top right margin and moderate handling wear. VG. Frontwoman Courtney Love lost her husband Kurt Cobain to suicide one week prior to the album's release. The live shows of this era are considered some of the most visceral and legendary of Love's career.
1994 proved to be a tumultuous year for Hole with Love losing husband Kurt Cobain and the albums bassist Kristen Pfaff, who left the band shortly after Cobain's death, succumbing to a heroin overdose only two months after the album's release. The band had to deal w/a litany of conspiracy theories about Cobain ghost writing many of the songs, a rumor that persisted for years. Though Cobain performed uncredited background vocals on two tracks he wasn't responsible for any songwriting. All the writing was that of Love and guitarist Eric Erlandson. Love speaking in 2014 about the matter stated "I wanted to be better than Kurt. I was really competing with Kurt. And that's why it always offends me when people would say, "Oh, he wrote Live Through This." I'd be proud as hell to say that he wrote something on it, but I wouldn't let him. It was too Yoko for me. It's like, "No fucking way, man! I've got a good band; I don't fucking need your help."
