    Anyone see the setlist to see if they left anything off?

    That second half of the main set was awesome -- Nothingman, Satans Bed, I Got Id, Gonna See My Friend, Lukin -- thats a powerhouse of an end to the main set.

    Agreed there - the first encore especially felt extremely short.

    There are perhaps three things that have every made me feel the way I did tonight leaving the Hartford show.

    The first time my wife kissed me twenty years ago, the birth of our children and the evening of 10/2/1996 when I saw our band for the first time. I've been to about twenty shows, more than some here on the boards and less than many others, I can only speak for myself but I think there will be others that feel the same.

    This show was a f'n religous experience from start to finish.

    Bravo men ..... Bravo!

    :D
    What you are speaks so loudly that I can not hear what you say.

    Just curious, did Ed say anything in regards to the contrast in crowds from D.C. to Hartford?

    What a great show. I was hoping for a different opener ( I hate when they open with songs that can be played at any point in a setlist) like Hard To Imagine would have been awesome or Wash. Anyway, I finally got Indifference and Lukin and SOLAT for the 2nd time. Ain't Talkin Bout Love was awesome, just a great show.

    No mention of D.C., but he did say something along the lines of he wishes all the family could be in attendance of shows like Hartford so they could see how great things are or something to that effect.

    I was just curious because of all the talk about the D.C. show being a shit crowd. I was at the D.C. (Bristow) show rocking my ass off, as were some others, but I'm in agreement that the crowd there could have been a little better overall.

    Anyway, this is the Hartford thread, and it sounds like you guys had an awesome time! (really, can you not have a great time at a PJ show?) congrats to all of you that were there!

    Fucking amazing. Tonight was straight up awesome. The setlist and the crowd were both incredible. Like someone else previously mentioned, it felt like a fuckin religious experience in there. It was just insane.

    Opening: Band Of Horses

    Set List: Unthought Known, Corduroy, Do The Evolution, Got Some, Severed Hand, Dissident, Low Light, Amongst The Waves, Even Flow, Nothingman, Johnny Guitar, I Got Shit, Jeremy, Daughter/WMA, Satan's Bed, Lukin, Gonna See My Friend

    1st encore: (Dan Perkin’s AKA “Tom Tomorrow” comes out on stage), Just Breathe (Dedicated to Dan and his family), Speed of Sound, State of Love and Trust, Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love (Van Halen) Dedicated to the University of Connecticut “UConn” Huskies NCAA Woman’s basketball team, Porch

    2nd encore: The Fixer-Dedicated to Jennifer Jaff, Crazy Mary, Alive, Indifference - Ed discusses JP Hero charity for Haiti and Sean Penn, All Along The Watchtower with Ben Bridwell from “Band Of Horses”- (Dylan)

    what an amazing show...hartford 08 was special b/c of the setlist. hartford 10 was special b/c of setlist and energy inside the XL Center tonite. It felt more intimate than MSG if that's possible but maybe thats b/c I had Section 4 Floor Row 3 Seat 1-2 10C tix!!! Corduroy>DTE>Got Some was an amazing trio of songs that just got everybody amped and the guys were too...it was so fuckin' loud in there. It was sweet to hear Low Light while something was getting passed around. At some point either before or after Nothingman (which will be greatest song on this boot...thats all im going to say) the crowd gave the boys a screaming ovation that caused them to stop playing and actually smile...this wasnt any normal cheer after a song that last 30 seconds - this lasted at least two min. It was an amazing feeling to be 25 rows away from the stage on stone's side just taking that all in + the song. I Got Shit was sweeeet, Lukin was tasty, and Satan's Bed was LOUD.

    First encore nothing special until AIN'T TALKIN' 'BOUT LOVE (in its entirety - Mike solos sounded exactly like Eddie VH it was so amazing) That got my blood pumping as I was rocking out with everybody else that new 100% of the words. 2nd encore was sort of the same tho good jams on Crazy Mary & Alive...when Jeff sat down with the bass I know Indifference was dropping which was sweet. That was 11pm - Eddie decides to play one more w/BOH dude - all along the watchtower - game. set. match. poster is sicccc too btw - chea hampton

    What an amazing show
    I pulled front row center seats at the box office, Eddie threw me a pick and my wife got handed a signed album by the guy that did the artwork
    I'm not sure it can ever get any better than this night, but I'm going to keep trying

    what can you say, another amazing night, great energy. Seemed the band really fed into it. Eddie seemed very animated during Satans Bed

    anybody else think that before Aint Talkin Bout Love when Ed gave the O T O T O thing, One Time One Time Only....that Whale Song was coming, being in Hartford and all
