Helmet are the headliners on this original poster designed by Mike King from summer 1997 at the Roseland Theater in Portland. Included in support were The Melvins and Skeleton Key. The Melvins were one of the top underground grunge bands of the late 80’s and early 90’s inspiring and influencing several groups of the era like Nirvana and the Screaming Trees. Although they never reached the same level of popularity The Melvins are highly regarded as one of the founders of the Pacific Northwest grunge era. Unlike many of the most popular and sought after concert posters from the 1960’s and 1970’s there were no official Reprints of these posters that are still readily available in big quantities today. This means collectors are forced to chase down the few surviving Original First Printings like this one here.
