Talk:Maxwell's

message: I have had placed a Template:Infobox Restaurant into this article, however I note that another infobox could also be used (I think this article should only have one Infobox). An example of the use of a Template:Infobox Venue would be this one in the right margin: 69.119.27.73 (talk) 04:27, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I prefer the Venue Infobox since it de-emphasizes the restaurant aspect of the establishment.  Although qua restaurant Maxwell's is perfectly fine, its fame derives more from its music venue and the Venue infobox can put a slightly greater emphasis on that. 69.119.27.73 (talk) 23:42, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

message: In order to add material that does not sound like blatant advertising it might be helpful to add a section on criticism of the place (this might also help to maintain a requisite WP:NPOV).  For example: 69.119.27.73 (talk) 04:41, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The proposed new "Criticism" section has been added to the article and further refinements to it should now take place there. 69.119.27.73 (talk) 02:26, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  criticism 

message: According to this page "The limited edition poster  included with the vinyl release features a photo of 'Nirvana' taken by Charles Peterson at their 02/25/89 show at the HUB Ballroom at the University of Washington, which features Jason Everman." and "The cover-shot of the album, of Nirvana at the Recko-Muse gallery in Olympia, was taken by Tracy Marander. CD versions included another of Peterson's photos from 02/25/89 in the insert, as well as one of his pictures from Nirvana's 02/15/90 show at Raji's in Los Angeles on the back inner sleave."
The page here identifies a photo of Kurt Cobain collaped or collapsing into a drum kit with "Raji's" clearly written on the wall behind the kit.  It is identified as February 15, 1990, Hollywood, CA and is clearly from the same event as one of the photos in the CD liner.  The photo posted at 
geocities shows a less cropped copy of the CD liner photo with "Raji's" clearly visible. According to this site Nirvana's 1987 and 1988 shows
were mostly on the west coast (Washington state).  Note that Bleach was released June 15, 1989 so the Raji's photos from February 1990 appeared on the CD (apparently released some time after February 1990). Nirvana appeared at Maxwell's on July 13, 1989 and March 28, 1990.(at least setlist and livenirvana websites back these claims, the latter attempts to be a comprehansive list of appearance)  Chronologically it was not possible for a photo from their first Maxwell's appearence to appear on the June 15 1989 released album (vinyl - perhaps not a CD release initially?) but photos that were taken later could have been put onto a later release, as apparently exemplified by the Feb 1990 photo from Raji's appearing on the CD release of Bleach.
Is there a Maxwell's connection for Bleach?  There may be two: on a recently purchased Bleach CD the text: "Nirvana Fan Club: P.O. Box 1477 Hoboken, N.J. 07030" appears. So the address for a fan club on the band's debut album was a Post Office box in the same city as Maxwell's.
In addition, photos of Nirvana in Hoboken on July 13, 1989 by Ian Tilton 
are visible here and includes photos of Cobain used as a French magazine cover.  I think the claims made in this article about where the photos for the album liner were taken may be misleading. I propose rewriting the paragraph on Nirvana as follows so as to remove the claim that a photo from a Maxwell's show appears with any release of the album:
: In 1989 the band Nirvana released their debut album Bleach on June 15 and went on tour to support sales of the album.  They appeared at Maxwell's on July 13, 1989 and early in the day before the show photographer Ian Tilton took several pictures of the band around Hoboken.  The picture of frontman Kurt Cobain has since been used in dozens of magazines, newspapers, and websites before and after his death.
:: The proposed rewrite has been placed into the article.  Hence the article no longer claims that the Bleach liner photos were shot at Maxwell's. 69.119.27.73 (talk) 12:27, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

message: thumb|right|Elysian field in 1866.  Maxwell's front door is now located adjacent to what was third base in the nineteenth century (on the left in this view from behind home plate). 
According to concrete and bronze monuments left in the pavement by a Hoboken civic organization "recently" (I visited on July 3, 2009 and I estimate they are no more than 10 years old) Maxwell's was located at third base for the baseball diamond of the Elysian Fields, Hoboken, New Jersey.  (Baseball historians may be interested to note: home plate was on the northeast corner at the present day intersection of Washington and 11th streets [designated with an "H" monument in the irregular pentagonal shape of a home plate].  First base was on the northwest corner [designated with a "1" square base monument], and second base was on the southwest corner [designated with a "2"].  Maxwell's at third is on the southeast corner [there is a "3" monument in front of the Maxwell's entrance door on the corner]. There is a large bronze plaque that explains the historical significance in the 11th Street median between first and second bases.) Unfortunately the 1866 Currier and Ives illustration view does a poor job of representing the 20th and 21st century bar, restaurant, and music venue. 69.119.27.73 (talk) 00:38, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
