Footnotes
Provenance:
Acquired by the vendor when attending the concert in Sheffield in 1991.
Nirvana performed for one night in Sheffield as part of a nine-date UK tour to promote the release of Nevermind two months prior. In England they were supported by Japanese rock group Shonen Knife, and Scottish Indie band Captain America (later renamed Eugenius). After the 1991 tour, Nirvana's only other live performance in England was their Reading Festival appearance in August 1992.
