Hartford venue sucked

PrlJam27 · May 2006

Sound was good, thats about it.....

Who was the asshole engineer that designed this place?

2 doors only for reserved seating???
And did anyone try and use the [only] indoor mens room? The only doorway was like 4 feet wide. The line to get in was like being in a mosh pit it was so tight, and leaving the restroom was even worse. But the funny thing was that when you finally got in there, half the urinals were unoccupied. People couldnt get in because even more people were trying to get out.

And what the fuck is up with this no beer to anyone under 26 with an out of state license??? Thats some MAJOR bullshit right there.

In conclusion, Pearl Jam, please dont play here anymore.

As much as the show rocked, yes, that venue was a shithole.
I loved how they had beer vendors on BOTH sides of the walkways, so when the lines grew they almost converged at the middle of the walkway rendering it basically un-passable. The restroom situation sucked as did the lack of entrances and exits for the seating areas...I did not drive there, so I would imagine that the parking lot afterwards was a bitch to leave.

"so I would imagine that the parking lot afterwards was a bitch to leave."

yeah it was pretty bad. saw a lot of people just driving over the median to get out. I agree, the venue sucked but the show rocked!!! I was just glad to get the hell out of Hartford. What a crap hole..no offense!

bathroom situation had to be better than people pissing right on the lawn to the left of me. a large pool started to grow and eventually people were diving around in the piss filled mud pit, had to get out of that area, that was during even flo

but people were pissing on the lawn in othe r places too, cmon people hold it or dont go to the show

to get beer with an out of state id you needed to go to a special booth to get a bracelet then go get a beer and show your id and bracelet...all in all the venue sucked

The meadows has always been a shit venue. There was a freaking riot for DMB there a few years back.

That was my first time there and I didn't get it. you could not buy a bottle of water they had to pour it for you. I don't get that you can throw a cup as easy as a bottle and you can all so put something in a cup as easy. but all in all the show was great, When Ed stood on the speaker while singing Alive was the bomb. Inside Job with the lazors were great. So I will just look at this as one great night with PJ and leave all the little things behind. But I will say this that free parking was a joke LOL LOL. and they way they did Garden was not only well worth it but rememberable

Yeah, the venue was a dump. I was in the lawn with a friend of mine. I was really kicking myself for not getting my tickets through the ten club--hadn't planned on going to this show until a week ago. The sound was pretty good, but did anyone else have a hard time hearing Mike on some of his solos. It seemed like he was having some equipment problems or something, because he almost seemed like he wasn't as into some of the songs as he usually is. I don't know, don't want to criticize, Mike is the man and a phenomenal guitar player, but he is human.

I believe its 25 at the former Fleetcenter (whatever the hell its called now) in Boston. I know my 21 year old sister (from CT) has had issues with that.

I actually thought his solos were much clearer than the night before in Albany.

One of the best performance by the band I have ever seen, Eddie seems to finally want to accept the fact that he's a rock star. That venue is an absolute joke, if you happen to be sitting in the 700 or 800's you had to walk a mile to get to anything. They should burn the place down and start over again.

iwasthere · May 2006

Only one ATM in the entire venue!

And screw the fat somoan security guard outside at the 10c line who kept accusing me of being a scalper because I was standing there for a extended period of time waiting for my ticket buddy. Told a guy from Montreal I was talking to get go away or get arrested for scalping. Also told him to lose the fake accent. The guy was a 10c member who had been to all kind of shows, including Albany the night before.

Awful venue.
There are so many things crappy about that place.
