    in my opinion, not a great show and not a bad show. all in all, there were some songs that I would have liked to hear but I'll take what we got last night. I had been joking with my friends for the last 2-3 weeks that I was going to win the ticket lottery, and to my delight, i did!

    i got section 3 row k, which was 10th row i believe.

    good times in hartford and now looking forward to boston tomorrow night.

    Ever since my 1st listen of Backspacer. The 1 song I couldn't wait to hear live the most was Unthought Known. When I heard the 1st notes being played.........I knew it was going to be yet another kick ass show I was lucky enough to attend. Thank you for the great seats 10 club!

    Rest your voices today my fellow Bostonians. Let's remind the boys tomorrow that before Philly (10/31/09) Boston held the unofficial title of being the best East Coast crowd ever (July 03 & Sept. 04).

    There are simply no words for what it was like to hear Ain't Talkin 'bout Love. Mike's tagged YL with it, he's played the first lick a number of times, but to hear the song in its entirety was a treat for all time. They absolutely nailed it, and if anyone can do EVH, it's Mr. McCready. It was simply brilliant. I had to sit for like 10 minutes because my body was just overloaded.

    Anyone find it ironic that they chose one of Diamond Dave's most mysoginistic lyrics to honor a women's basketball team?

    My friend and I got to Hartford at quarter to 6, went to the box office to get my tickets, and then went to Black Bear. We met up with his aunt and uncle, who had been there since 2. We were only in there for 10-15 minutes. Was my name on a paper or something?

    Ah, I see. youngster and I left the pre-party around 6 to get posters. I asked Steve Dunne if he had seen you before we left and he said he had not. Did you end up getting a poster?

    Yep. We had a baseball game at 2 and didn't end until 4:45, so that's why I wasn't able to really be there. Did they have my name on a sign in sheet or something? We left Black Bear around 6:15 and managed to get a poster and shirt before 6:30; barely a line. We went where the front of the arena is with all the steps.

    Nah, I don't think there was a sign in sheet. People were kinda just coming up and introducing themselves. Glad you made out okay. The reason I'm asking is I think youngster brought something for you and wanted to give you it at the pre-party. PM him if you have no idea what I'm talking about.

    Really excellent show. Great energy and vibe all around. The crowd was alive and buzzing. That always is an important thing to have to make for a good show. The XL Center was a much better place to see a concert than I expected. The sound was good and the band was feeling good. They sounded great. Really on. Ed didnt seem to be sloppy. They didnt fucking around. They just wanted to play the music. Aint Talking About Love was a great surprise. People said the Hartford 08 show was the best of the 08 tour. It was a good show and probably a better setlist, IDK. But IMO the band sounded a lot better than they did at the 08 show. It was nice not to have Ledbetter closing the show. Although, I dont really like their version of All Along the Watchtower. Cant wait for Boston & both MSG shows!

    Oh ok. I see. Youngster PM me all about it. He's going to mail me whatever he wanted to give me. I do know Black Bear was packed when went in there. We went in as they were doing the raffle; so, you might have left already.

    Just got back from last night's show. Had a sick time with my friend who this was his FIRST PJ show ever. Sat Stone's side 11th row. To my disbelief, the people next to me.....older...like 60....were taking turns falling asleep. It disgusts me when people with such good seats do not enjoy the show. People would kill for seats like that. Anyways, I was the guy standing on my seat holding the PJ PORCH license plate.


    See you guys in NJ and MSG n1, n2!
    ...44 shows...and counting....

    What an enjoyable evening.
    the crowd, the sound and the band were just perfect

    Definitely not my favorite setlist, but I have absolutely nothing to complain about.
    The VH cover was without question the highlight of the evening for me-especially since I actually saw the old van halen play that song in that building circa 1984.

    Great concert. And fuck the meadows-I dont care if its august, play the XL center again please.

    I had such an amazing time last night. The crowd was totally pumped and this really fed energy to the band. The boys were just on fire.
    When they pulled out Van fuckin Halen I thought I'd seen it all but that was amazing.
    Thank you 10C for my 10th row center lottery tickets and for trusting that I was me w/o a photo ID.

    Been to many shows. Went to Cleveland and Buffalo this week as well. That being said this was the best show I ever saw! It was a McCready tribute show really. He played so many long solo's and just ripped this show up. He was the highlight! He played Van Halen amazing as well. To hear State of Love and Trust and Crazy Mary in the encore with them finishing to Indifference and All Along The Watch Tower just awesome. Ed sounded great as always and band was so good. Blown away and so worth a week of sore legs and little sleep. Plus this old building was great. Small with steep rows so you see over the guy in front of you while standing with no problem. Like you were right on top of the band.

    Excellent show. Crowd was awesome, the band fed off it, and it translated into one of the best shows I've seen. Heard Nothingman and Speed Of Sound for the first time, and as noted, the VH cover was great (you gotta love Ed and his "ototo"). Just an epic time, comfortable and exciting all at once. Thanks for the great 10C seats, thanks to the band, and thanks to greatest fanbase in the world.
