Nirvana, Liz Phair, and the Replacements, all playing Maxwell's
Yesterday we found out that Maxwell's, the rock n' restaurant in Hoboken that's been there forever... is closing at the end of July. It's really sad! So let's go into a deep place of denial and cover ourselves in layers and layers of comforting nostalgia. if you have any photos or video from the venue (the older the better), or even a really great memory/story, please send it our way. For now, let's revisit the ones we were able to dig up on YouTube.
The Replacements, 1986
Nirvana, 1989
Bob Mould, 1991
Ween, 1993
Stereolab, 1993
Black Keys, 2003
Moby, 2008
Evan Dando and Juliana Hatfield (awwwwww), 2011
Liz Phair, 2011
Yo La Tengo and David Byrne, 2011
Dick Dale, 2011
