    Im pretty sure they got banned from Hartford after the 98 show. They didn't come back till after The Meadows was no longer The Meadows, and under new ownership.

    I like to think they got banned from Great Woods too, after blowing the curfew in 03, hence the reason they went to the Garden in 04 and 06...they didn't get back to Great Woods till after that venue changed hands also.
    They could've gone to the Civic Center during those tours. Why did they get banned?
    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

    1996 - Riots in the lawn. The fence got taken down. Cops w/ Riot gear shooting people w/ bean bags. Then 1998 Ed was fighting w/ security who was fuckin w/ people in the crowd up front. Security was also apparently using massive amounts of pepper spray at this show also... I wasnt at either of those shows unfortunately, but it was either the band or the venue mgmt who decided PJ probably shouldn't play there anymore. They didnt go back to "The Meadows" until 2006, after it had changed hands a few times. I assume they didnt play the civic center at that point b/c they were against playing venues that didnt have seats...they didnt want to play anywhere in the states that had a GA section after what happened at Roskilde.

    ^^ That would actually be opposite then. The Civic Center more often than not has seats on the floor (did for the PJ show last year) and no GA, and The Meadows had/has the lawn which is GA

    i was referring to GA pit for crowd surfing.... Do people crowd surf in the lawn :? :?: I cant see that working out so well... considering the slope
    Also, while there is a GA floor in the civic center and all arenas, they have seats that they put in place for PJ. Never will you see a real GA floor in an arena for a PJ show.

    I think I remember hearing that. I do remember that the chain link fence was definitely knocked down in 2008 and 2006 though we only saw it after the fact as we were leaving.

    Hey guys, I managed to got to the NYC 2 night. It was amazing and I got to the VIP party, but I have to admit I had the best night at Hatford! Even with the guests and all the great people I met, I felt like I was a bit of a fish out of water...I think this thread had made me far attached to you all :lol:

    Anyway, just wanted to let you know that a fantastic setlist and guests does not the best show make!!! It's the people in the crowd....IMO. (I did meet some great people, though)

    So Hartford is No 1 for me.
