also, at the end of the show, i remember ed saying something like they will never play there again....which worked out well for 8 years, until he broke the streak in 06
in 96..... Part of the fence comes down during 'Blood' and a near riot ensues. (In reality, when the barrier came down, security guards began using pepper spray. The wind was blowing into the pavilion, forcing people with seats to venture nearer the stage to escape it, making it seem like there was a mad rush to the stage.)
good time....security staff there is one notch worse than camden assholes....if thats believable
i also remember from personal experience, that at the end of the 96 show, kids were jumping the wall to get out and cops were beating them with night sticks...thats jumping the fence to get OUT...not IN....wtf is wrong with them.
I mean, they may have played 100m in 98, but if you seriously think that this show is going to be any less than an 2 hours at the bare minimum, and that's very damn skeptical, you're crazy.
and 06 was just a cold raw night, rainy, wet, just a bad overall night for outdoor concert. setlist was kind lame, especially sandwiched between albany and boston that year.
so far 0-3.
here is hoping for a salvageable 1-4, but its doubtful.
just saying, history tells us that its always bad there, so i have every right to be skeptical until proven otherwise, hence why im going. I have faith in the greatest band in the world that they can pull out a win there. at least they are persistent.
I really don't give a fuck about your opinion. This is my second Pearl Jam show, and I'm going to enjoy it, no matter what stupid bullshit you say about past shows. I'm going to be there for the Pearl Jam, and I'm going to be enjoying the Pearl Jam.
may I quote Eddie here a bit: "fuck the pessimists!" (during wishlist at MSG 03)
It will be a great show. I have faith in PJ.
every show will rock, especially the last half
SLC 11/2/95, Park City 6/21/98, Boise 11/3/00, Seattle 12/9/02, Vancouver 5/30/03, Gorge 9/1/05, Vancouver 9/2/05, Gorge 7/22/06, Gorge 7/23/06, Camden I 6/19/08, MSG I 6/24/08, MSG II 6/25/08, Hartford 6/27/08, Mansfield II 6/30/08; Eddie Albany 6/8/09, 6/9/09; Philly 10/30/09, 10/31/09; Boston 5/17/10
I thought the world...Turns out the world thought me
they are the only show on the tour where PJ hits the stage at 9:15....the will probably finish at 10:30....every time they play there it sucks....can anyone explain it? or why they keep playing there?
I'll guarantee this much - it will be infinitely greater than the Salt Lake City show this summer...
all this talk about how hartford will suck is really bringing me down since its the only one i can make. i hope eddie proves us all wrong. it would be awesome to be talking about this show over the MSG and boston shows.

wow there are a lot of douchebag downers these days.
i personally love the dodge, i think it's a hell of a lot of fun and real cool on a nice night!
also, hartford 06 was my first and only show so far. i thought it was amazing and it changed my life. maybe for some of you who have seen 20+ shows it sucked or was sub-par, but i loved every god damn second of it. it may have been a little shorter then most pj shows but there is absolutely no denying that what they did play was flawless and they were on fire.
i'm sorry, a short set? yes.
a weak set? HELL NO
sleight of hand
i'm open
inside job

i got shit
dissident
ridiculously good black and rvm
i don't know what you guys could have disliked. like i said, maybe you guys are used to epic shows. but this show changed everything for me. the entire night i was just in complete shock. it was amazing and i'll never forget it.
this year hartford will majorly kick ass because last time they played a shorter set do to the cold. they will play long and have a rare set. it's do. it's the place on this tour that is going to be the random gem. callin it. and people, stop complaining about the venue, i just don't understand. maybe i'm really easy going, but i love this place and to say any pj show is going to suck is madness. totally psyched for hartford!!!
...though i am super psyched for msg 2 and mansfield 2 as well

The only thing that sucked about 98' was getting trampled at the end of the show. :mad:...Luckily those days are long gone & I can't fuckin wait for this time.
If you think it's gonna suck, stay home & save a spot for someone else.
Hartford if you remember worked easily with Pearl Jam in their anti-ticketmaster days. I think the Dodge accommodated them during that period, and even though it is a crap venue (I hear) with lame season ticketholder crowds (i hear) PJ usually makes a point to play the Dodge to pay back the promoters.
they are the only show on the tour where PJ hits the stage at 9:15....the will probably finish at 10:30....every time they play there it sucks....can anyone explain it? or why they keep playing there?
I'm sure I speak for alot of people when I say at least Hartford gets a pj show. Yes, they are playing some shows in the South, but aside from Bonaroo, the two shows in Florida, and South Carolina, that's it. Texas and Atlanta to name two, haven't seen a pj show in 5 years! I can't afford to travel, and they aren't playing in Florida near my cousin otherwise I could go. If only they were playing Miami.
So any pearl jam show with any set is better then no pj show at all. so HA!
If you already have it in your head that the show is going to be crappy it probably will be. For you anyway. I can't believe how jaded some fans get. It's fucking PEARL JAM! You're going to see them! That alone would make me happy as anything. It must be tough being able to see so many shows that you actually consider some of them suck worthy. You should consider yourself lucky that you get to see them at all. There's a whole bunch of fans that don't. So get out there and make the show good. Go to the show and enjoy it for what it is. Pearl Jam playing live!

If this were a modern day set it would be considered top notch.
Maybe I'm biased becuase this was my 1st show...
Anyway. I hope the band catches wind of this thread, because this could be the one you dont want to miss!!!
The original poster was spot on...This show will SUCK!
cant chance it....its too close to my house not to go....i travel all over the country to see them, so i have to go to this one, just wondering why they always suck there and whats up with starting a half hour later than the others....history has told us that every show there has been shitty compared to others. cant figure out why
10/2/96 was great
9/13/98 was good but a little short
5/13/06 was awesome but short
I fail to see where the issue is.
