Soundgarden — Original Crew Memo, Lollapalooza Tour Load-Out, June 1992
A single-page original crew memo issued to the Soundgarden crew for the load-out and start of the Lollapalooza tour, almost certainly 1992 — the year Soundgarden headlined. Typed on NAF Productions letterhead, Seattle, WA.
The memo reads in full:
SOUNDGARDEN CREW
LOAD OUT AFTER SHOW BOX INTO NAF TRUCK, BACK TO WAREHOUSE FOR OVERNIGHT STORAGE.

THE EQUIPMENT WILL BE IN KC 8AM 6/26 AT THE LOLLAPALOOZA SITE.
"Matt's bike" — a reference to drummer Matt Cameron's motorcycle traveling in the equipment semi — is the kind of incidental detail that makes a document like this irreplaceable. A snapshot of the Seattle grunge machine rolling out to conquer the country. From the personal collection of Johnny "JW" Roberts.
