Over the course of my years here i've always noticed a pretty strong CT presence.
I was born and raised in Wallingford

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT! best hot dogs in the world. you eat three and, though immensely tasty, they will leave a serious affect on your lower intestines. That said - they currently have a blown up pic of ev there - a local area photographer has his work there and ev is front and center. a great compliment to the nutmeg after taste of the special sauce.
born in new britain, raised in kensington and my folks currently live in west hartford. i moved but will always consider myself proudly from ct (unless, you know, the ten club ticket line is 300 yards long and the show has already started - way to go "dodge amphitheater" or whatever you call yourself these days)
...any of you huskies ever need bail $$$, let me know!

great thread newch91!!! can't believe all the love!!! my 1st show was also springfield 94...on the floor...good stuff. hartford 96 was an event in itself...loved every bit of it, and hearing 'leaving here' was a highlight!!!
raised up here in the north end of I-84 on the border, currently work in storrs...any of you huskies ever need bail $$$, let me know!
Is your name actually Steve Dunne?
Next time I get arrested can I use your name and get bailed out?

and fuck me if I say somethin you dont wanna hear, fuck me!
and fuck me if you only hear what you wanna hear
fuck me...if I care...but im not leavin here
You might be thinking of 1998. I was at that show (age: 7) and I remember all hell breaking loose when Ed told security to "let them dance in the aisles".
Yea I remember that! That was my 2nd Pearl jam show ever! My 1st show 2 nights earlier at the infamous MSG 2 Breath campaign show. I was very lucky to have been there.
Speaking of CT though, I live a couple minutes over the border in western Mass. I live right next to Springfield, MA. I always have wished that I was at that Springfield 94 show.
That was a pretty good show. I have a good sounding boot for that show. Before Philly 4 last year, that was the last time they played Out Of My Mind!! The 1st time it was played in Atlanta (night 1) a few nights earlier. I was just too young at that point so I missed that Springfield show.
Another show I tried to get tix for was the Hartford 96 show. I was so depressed when I couldnt get tickets back then for that show. I probably would committed suicide if I knew at that point that I wasnt going to be able to see them for 2 more years!
Now I make sure I do whatever it takes not to miss Pearl jam shows in my area, and I havent. Love seeing Pearl jam live. Greatest thing on earth!!!
Since I brought up western Massachusetts, did anybody here go to the 2 UMass-Amherst shows that PJ did there? I know its a long shot. They played there on 11-4-91 and 4-7-92. I dont believe any recordings have ever surfaced for those UMass shows either. Its more likely that someone may have attended the Springfield, MA Civic Center PJ show on 11-3-91. I have a recording of that show too.

Wish they would play in Bridgeport instead of the meadows next time. Saw The Who there and it was a great place to see a show. And near Pepe's too!! But now a days who isn't. Just got home from working in the city and saw a sign in Yonkers for Pepe's.

Pepe's is fantabulous. Even the one in Yonkers tastes like the one in new haven. I hope they continue to open more closer to me (in NJ)
Steve Dunne: Thanks. I just wanted to see how many people here are from CT. I can't believe we have this much! I'll be up in Storrs in 2 years.
To whom ever posted about the whale: I should have mentioned that! Thanks for mentioning that. If they play Hartford, I hope they have a Whalers shirt there. That'll be the best. I hope they play the Civic Center. If they announce a Hartford show, I'll call the 10C to see if Pearl Jam can make a shirt out of that, although I don't know if you can make calls to the 10C to request something like that.
Shows: 6.27.08 Hartford, CT/5.15.10 Hartford, CT/6.18.2011 Hartford, CT (EV Solo)/10.19.13 Brooklyn/10.25.13 Hartford

Milford here...definitely going to Ziggy's on the 27th, it's very close to the highway (I-95), should be a great time! IMHO, the Pepe's in Fairfield isn't as good as New Haven, but again, that's just my opinion.
+1. I'll take the hour drive up there just for that.

First it was The Meadows
Then it was The Dodge Music Theatre
Then it was The Meadows again for a very short time
Now it's The Comcast Music Theatre.
It's always going to be The Meadows. And it's always going to be one of the greatest venues I've ever been to for concerts.
Is your name actually Steve Dunne?
Next time I get arrested can I use your name and get bailed out?
Expect a phone call come Spring Weekend
Dude they would blow Toad's Place out of the fucking lily pad. I always tlak to my friends about wishing PJ would play there.

I bet they play Hartford sooner than that. I would love to see them at the civic center and close out with yellow ledbetter>brass bonanza
I remember going to the last Whalers game and them playing it like 30 times....
