    My sentiment, but should've said 2008, or "after 2006"😅 I was groggy🤷

    My sentiment, but should've said 2008, or "after 2006"😅 I was groggy🤷
    Why was it awful?

    It was really cold and a bit short, but it wasn't bad.

    This is why I’m against outdoor shows.

    Hartford, 2010… my (then girlfriend) & I had been dating for a year, and this was her first PJ show. Since then she’s seen them 15 or so more times in 4 different countries. (She’s a keeper)

    I thought it was pretty bad.  Hershey and this show are the worst non festival pj shows I ve seen.

    Same for my now wife and I, only in 2013. 

    Really hope they go back to arenas and Hartford gets back on the schedule.

    The band didn’t have their normal energy and the crowd sucked.

    I thought 1996 was the best of all of them. Crappy place to see a show though. The Civic Center inside is much better.

    Agreed. I saw Pearl Jam in Harford back in 2008 & I had a blast!

    That 2008 show was almost exactly 17 years ago and I think its almost as hot today in NY CT area as it was that night

    It was a hot beautiful night back in Hartford '08. Would love to back there again.

    Hartford is the best because you get the NY folks driving up since it's a short ride and you have the Boston folks driving over since it's a short ride. The NE is no doubt a huge following with those two cities being the largest. So any time there's a show in Hartford you go because it's going to be bananas

    Hartford 2008 was my first show. I reminder asking myself why I had never seen them before. Too busy with Black Crowes, White Stripes, DMB, Pencilgrass 
    Fortunate to be at 7 PJ shows now. Yeah I’m proud of that number
    Especially because it includes Hartford 2013, which is, with all do respect to the seniors on this board, the best show they ever played

    Something about Hartford brings out the best in artists. Jerry and the Dead loved it there and played some of their best shows in Hartford. Agree that is the halfway point between NYC and Boston and artists just might be more comfortable there. And yes, play the arena and not the amphitheater. I was lucky enough to grow up there and the list of artists I saw in that arena is amazing. If PJ tours the northeast, play Hartford you pussies!
