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?

It's like going to a Foo Fighters show inbetween two Pearl Jam Shows.
I'll be there, and I'll be enjoying it.
maybe it was the pepper spray in my eyes in 98 or the lawn riots in 96, or the lame set in 06 that has me thinking twice.....has no one else had a bad experience there?
Won't let the darkness swallow me.
how does that make a difference?
I wont correct you, but please bring back the Whale!!! I grew up in Hartford...my first NHL game was Whalers/Devils at the Civic Center..when there was actually a mall with stores.

true, that being said, the worst pj show (usually hartford) is still better than anything else out there....its all in the perspective of the others shows.
Thanks for the support. My first game was the Whale VS the Jets....old school for yah.
that would be an improvement over past years
The way I look at it.. is that what (usually) makes a show special is when they go PAST curfew with extra stuff.
So if they start at say 8:45 and the curfew is 11... then after that is gravy.
I can't imagine its going to be 9:15-11... so I'm HOPING that the curfew is 11:30 and maybe they can push midnight...
Here's hoping, anyway
Save Our Jets! Save Our Jets!
Fuck you Bettman
98 Tremor Christ
06 I'm open
They always seem to play something rare
what happened in Hartford in 98 to prompt them to wirte on the LiveOnTwoLegs inside cover :
a p.s. to the raleigh and Hartford police departments. get a life. leave those kids alone.
story?
I thought the world...Turns out the world thought me
are you going? If yes, why? Waste of money if you already are so negative about it. don't think they will play for 1 hour & 15 minutes. seriously...

09/13/98 - Meadows Music Theater: Hartford, CT [100m]
support act: Ben Harper
capacity: 35,000 (although capacity is 30,000)
set: Corduroy, Animal, Hail Hail, Given to Fly, I Got Shit, Go, Dissident, Tremor Christ, Daughter, Jeremy, Even Flow, Faithfull, MFC, Spin the Black Circle, Wishlist, Do the Evolution
enc: Brain of J, Breath, RVM, Better Man, Alive, Porch
notes: The security staff at this venue are horrible and pepperspray is smelled during the show. Ed messes up the 'Even Flow' lyrics in the exact same place for the fourth straight performance, asking the crowd for the lyrics. 'Faithfull' intro: "The next song is about belief. Don't get a tattoo of a guy's face unless he's dead so he can't fuck up. I was really proud of that Clinton tattoo ... Everyone raise your middle finger and yell, 'Get on with it!.'" At the start of the encore, many people in the crowd raise "thank you" signs (the thank you for PJ playing 'Breath the previous night) and Ed says, "Ah, so you all were in New York?" and makes a joke about how all of the Connecticut people must be in the back of the venue. 'Breath' is introduced as "one we haven't played in a while but it sounded pretty good last night" and they seem to really enjoy playing it. During, 'Alive,' the show takes a dramatic turn when Ed notices asshole security fucking with someone in the crowd (who is holding up a flashlight?) and Ed grabs Eric Johnson's flashlight and puts it on the security staff, displeased. He tells everyone to go dance in the aisles, and everyone rushes forward. There is a crush toward the front that continues through 'Porch.'
i see. thanks. never knew, never investigated either.....thanks again
