    About this photograph

    Cobain cited this performance as one of the first moments he realized he was famous. Yet rather than comfort him, this realization set off something just short of a panic. Though he had always wanted to be famous, the actual culmination of his dreams deeply unnerved him. Bandmate Krist Novoselic would recall this particular show, a free show in a record store a week before the album’s official release date, as a turning point in Kurt. “Things started to happen after that,” Krist said. “We weren’t the same old band. Kurt, he just kind of withdrew. There was a lot of personal stuff that was going on. It got complicated. It was more than we bargained for.” Photograph by Charles Peterson.
