    1996 was by far best Hartford show ever

    Agreed. I've been to every Hartford show and '96 was my favorite. First year in law school and I had no ticket. My then-girlfriend, now wife, calls me & tells me she was just in class at UConn and overheard some girl saying they were releasing more tickets the day of the show, which was today. I drive down through Hartford at about Mach 10 to find a line of just about 50 people waiting at the ticket office of the Meadows at about 11:00 a.m. Window opens, bang, we all get a tix.

    Wound up with 12th row for my first PJ show ever, and haven't looked back since!!

    (Well, except to check my back pocket about 90 times per hour after I pick up my tix the day of a show, jusssst to be sure they did't fall out/get pick-pocketed).

    1) 96
    2) 08
    3) 98
    4) 06 (but I will say this - it was still a great show despite all the negative reviews it gets on this board)

    and I missed 2010 due to a wedding

    considering how awful the weather was, Hartford 06 was good. I didn't mind the first 4 songs being from avocado. At that point, that album was in heavy rotation for me. love Marker in the Sand.

    Still can't believe I missed 2006. It's going to take a miracle for me to hear "Sleight of Hand" and "Inside Job" now.

  • Im surprised how many people put 2008 ahead of 2010.
    Hartford 2010 is one of my favorite PJ shows I've attended... right behind the Mansfield Experiment.
    The 2008 sweat-fest was pretty damn fun too tho. I'd love to hear Breakerfall again.

    Damn we're lucky.
    Maybe I'm biased, but we get some damn good shows 'round these parts :ugeek:
    Many of which I missed due to being a stupid teenager :fp:

    Set list wise, 2008 by a mile. But 2010 was so much fun, as was 2008.

    Inside Job at that show with the green lasers shooting out was epic.
    13 shows later and I've never gotten Sleight Of Hand again.
