In 1993, Nirvana was not the same band they were a year or two before: "Nevermind," the album that broke grunge to the mainstream, had changed everything. The group that once trekked down from Seattle to play Portland club shows at venues such as Satyricon were now national superstars. And that meant bigger gigs, like one at Salem's Armory Auditorium on Dec. 14.

The Oregonian was there. Our photo editors recently uncovered a roll of film from the autumn concert by shooter Yong Kim: just two of the photos had been previously published along with critic Marty Hughley's original concert review. We're sharing it today, on the 22nd anniversary of frontman Kurt Cobain's death.

Have any photography from Nirvana's early days? Feel free to share it.
