Poster from Madison Square Garden 7/12/96

markpregen · 11-26-2007, 01:12 AM

I took this picture at MSG in NYC over the weekend. The poster is hanging near one of the restaurants in an area with a bunch of posters and memorabilia from bands that have performed there. Anyway, I just thought it was cool to see some SP love, without thinking much of it, but my friend pointed out the fact that 7/12/96 was when Melvoin died. He died in the early morning hours of 7/12, so of course neither show took place (which makes it even more interesting that they have the poster hanging, if the shows didn't even happen). I didn't realize the posters featured Melvoin prominently like that.

i've got the same poster in my bedroom. it isnt rare. i think, in fact, some company started running those after the melvoin thing happened.

that's what i thought; i have it too. that's cool that they have it hanging up in the venue, though.

Although that background does kind of look like the band photo in the Mellon Collie booklet

that's a real sky, you nitwit.

I actually didn't know this photo was an SD promo picture, and I always assumed it was MCIS era because Corgan's hair looks especially thin.

i_adore_adore · 11-26-2007, 05:17 PM

hey, Melvoin died on my 5th birthday. Isn't that WEIRD?!

shut up, you're making me feel old. I was six and a half.

ptrdln · 11-26-2007, 06:51 PM

i also have that poster. i had the band sign it on the machina in-store tour. i felt a little weird handing it to jimmy since it had melvoin's name across the bottom.

stripes · 11-26-2007, 06:56 PM

I bought that at a mall like five years ago.

skipgo · 11-26-2007, 06:56 PM

holy crap you guys are young. I was in my 2nd year of college when that happened.

stripes · 11-26-2007, 06:58 PM

You must be around 33

One of my great talents is guessing age, and guessing what time it is.

Damn you're young. I was 10 at the time.

teamneedle · 11-26-2007, 08:50 PM

I would like to see more then 10 people bust out arising tour posters...

I know. It's the people like me and redbull who are keeping this band alive. When all you people are decrepit and changing each others' diapers, I'll be all young and lively and stuff.

Though... perhaps five years really isn't that big of a difference, is it?

skipgo · 11-26-2007, 10:53 PM

don't forget i could be your mom, adore. If i'd had a kid like, the first time i got busy with someone. that is really weird.
