I was the A&R person who signed the Melvins to Atlantic Records. This is footage from an unannounced show promoting the release of the Houdini album in the penthouse of the Sheraton Hotel New York City. The show took place July 1993. Kurt and Dave from Nirvana attended along with Courtney Love, Sonic Youth, Helmet, Quicksand, Shudder to Think, Surgery, Boss Hog and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.
If anyone's carious dale was married to lori S. from acid king in the early 90s and i think he jammed on the zoroaster album and on some of the early demos.
My favorite NMS was 1990. I didn't go, but my friend went to NYC that summer specifically for it. When he got back I asked him, "So, see anything cool?" He said, "Yeah... this new band called Helmet. They're going to be your next favorite band." He also discovered Cop Shoot Cop and Unsane on that trip.
Dale Crover is a monster....
Definitely!
So humble too. Met him before in Costa Mesa Ca he even bought me a shot at the bar.
The fact that you can still see an amazing band like this at a local intimate venue (and they still shred) is amazing and we are so lucky
agreed!
Looks like they're set up in a hotel room .
saddest part is there are so many who like the imitation of them ie Nirvana, but they have never heard of the Melvins

Dale Crover really helped bring back that John Bonham/Bill Ward style of drumming with a punk accent.
Wow this is like the most real I have ever seen them play. Real like the dirt that I walk on. And it sounds amazing.
Dale is givin' er!! Beating up those cans like they owe him lunch money!!
These guys should’ve had way more success.
They are pretty successful as an underground band.
Well, underground so to speak.
I had no idea video of this existed..AWESOME!!!
I am very glad this footage exists. Thank you.
I wish they'd play it like this haha. So angry and heavy! 😎

Just for the record, this was in a suite at the Sheraton New York on July 22, 1993. I was there.
