    just looking at the dates they played here and see a pattern. I am hoping they come back before 2016 and 2018!
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    My first show was the Hartford riot show of '96

    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.
