Why no love for Hartford?

I've been seeing plenty of people talking about boots and which they like and don't like and all and I haven't heard anyone saying much about the Hartford show. I was there, and being from Philly and it being my first show in CT, I didn't expect it to come close, but HOLY CRAP!! Here are some reasons to get the boot

Great Setlist: Breakerfall, Gods Dice, Sad, Big Wave, In Hiding, Immortality, Garden, Blood, Smile, Fuckin Up

AMAZING energy - the band was just feeling it and it can really be heard in the boot.

Many "firsts" for the tour: Big Wave, Blood, Breakerfall, Last Exit, Immortality, Smile, Fuckin up, Blood


I know it's been discussed I just wanted to go over it again. It was a great show and a great boot and if people are wondering what boots to pick up, I would highly recommend this one. (Oh, and Mansfield 2)

    Most every review of the best show of 2008 tour has the Hartford show as #1.

    It was a fantastic show. really geared to the hard-core fans. I'm totally psyched to get the boot.

    Increadable, is too small of a word to describe how awesome it was, it was my 9th show, and the setlist and energy were awesome.

    Also not to mention that I was in the front row...Yes i was one of the few lucky fan clubbers, who won the pj lotter, and was the closest person to Eddie Vedder, In fact EV pointed at me and gave me a guitar pick.

    Best night of my life ever!!

    This is the one boot I've downloaded so far, and Mike is on fire. The Immortality solo gave me chills, and he is all over Leash... And All Night is just fucking heavy. :D

    I agree.


    I think Hartford is maybe best bootleg just based on setlists, but it wasn't the best show. (though still awesome)

    Went to 7 shows this tour, even won 1st row Tampa seats right in front of Mike. Hartford was just insane! By far my favorite show. Pure fucking energy straight thru the night. Getting a adrenaline rush right now, I can't wait to get this boot.
    So, What you Giving ?........ (Thanks Speedy, Alesek, & Arq+friends)

    Having not been there. Show sounds good. Setlist is obviously amazing. Ed sounds a little off though.

    Love the comment after evenflow though. "and that's mike mccready. He loves this shit!"
    “I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”

    Hartford is so dangerous. I saw the Tragically Hip there and someone the night before had been shoot and killed at the venue

    What message board have you been reading? Hartford is nearly OVERhyped as the best show.

    Listen to the boot.....when Ed says during Ledbetter, "Look their all going to vote" he is taking a jab at all the people leaving early to save 1 minute on their commute...funny stuff


    This show was a lotta fun, from it being Friday night... I dont think any of us thought this show was gonna be as kick ass as it was, nice surprise
  • appliedlessonappliedlesson Posts: 237
    Blood kicked my ass - I listened to it on repeat this morning.

    Sorry I missed this show, still regretting not going.

    Hahaha I love that he said that too. My dad was listening to the boot the other day and said "I forgot how the show started so slow. That was cool". I told him he was crazy and that the second song was freakin nuts and it stayed at a high intensity from there.

    yes, i have to agree that this is a great boot.
    msg1 was amazing - and when i left hartford, which was clearly amazing, i thought msg1 was better. When listening back to both boots - I just can't stick with that statement. BUT msg1 was the best show i've ever seen in an arena EVER, so i was surprised and blown away by the crowd. Hartford is a familiar setting for me, so i think that had something to do with my initial reaction. either way - both shows and boots rock - so hey, it's pj, - get both :)
