Yup, that's Pearl Jam opening for Nirvana opening for the Red Hot Chili Peppers back in 1991. If I could bend space and time like Hiro on Heroes, this would be one of my top stops. Damn, that's a great idea for another post...where would you drop your time machine, first? Cavern Club? Fillmore? Winterland?
* The original poster is on sale at Wolfgang's Vault for $300. The site states:
Pearl Jam had yet to reap fame from their August, 1991 release of Ten, Nirvana's future held less than two more years with lead singer Kurt Cobain, and The Chili Peppers would soon lose guitarist John Frusciante as he battled a heroin addiction, but this New Year's Eve 1991 concert at the Cow Palace was a celebration.

I think i remember something about a 1991 tour, where Metallica was going to double bill with Guns and Roses, and Nirvana was supposed to be the opener, but Mr. Cobain wanted no part of that jock fest, and I think, if my memory serves me, that Faith No More stepped in for the dates. also, if i remember correctly, that tour was called off halfway through because GNR caused a riot in montreal....some one can fact check this story and let me know.

also, in the world of great double bills, possibly the greatest double bill. you have to think clapton was sitting back stage enjoying this one.
