    I love seeing the band in Hartford. Looking forward to doing so again this year.
    To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

    I know I'm biased in saying this, but I don't think I've heard a better 3-song combo than SOLAT-ATBL-Porch. Pure awesomeness.

    The band has to come out to Brass Bonanza at the show. It needs to happen!

    Could be happening this fall at the Civic Center! Was listening to 99.1 this morning and Jim Koplik was on to make an announcement for another concert and someone called in, asking if there was any news on Pearl Jam coming to CT. He said they may be coming to Hartford in the fall and would probably play at the Civic Center! :D

    Yes that would be awsome i like that venue way better than MSG had a fantastic time there last time ... :)

    The guy who reported it on the radio is very credible... Biggest promoter in the area and he does that radio spot on a weekly basis. I love them in XL Center because its smaller... Thats the smallest venue I have ever seen PJ in The 2010 show had an amazing energy and feel to it and the band LOVED the crowd... it was a great great show. But 08 meadows show was awesome too I think the Meadows show in 08 was better than the 2 MSG shows and i love them at MSG

    whats the capacity at this venue?
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    wiki says "16,282 for end-stage concerts"

    Going to be a bright light in what going to be a bad year
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    Yeah. 06 was fucking freezing. Cold and rainy.

    1998 was cut short because Eddie told everyone to dance in the aisles

    1996 was a full show but insane riots ensued

    Oh shit. I was wondering why 5/15 was stuck in my head as a big date. I really got back into pj big after that show.
