James Rexroad (photographer) : I had taken to sharing a whole bottle of tequila with Joe Preston, then bass player for The Melvins, and made the stage just as the buzz started kicking in. The band (Nirvana) came out to a sold-out crowd, and unleashed a new rock that would soon set the standard for what was to become grunge music. By the time that the band broke into its third song, I was nearly too trashed to stand, and was forced to stay leaning against the monitor at stage left. It's really a miracle that any of the photos from this night are in focus.
