    Cause it's a smaller population center (the area, not the city) between two huge shows for PJ.

    It's like going to a Foo Fighters show inbetween two Pearl Jam Shows.

    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

    They came on stage around 9PM for the Ottawa show back in 05. That was almost 3 hours, and the set list kicked ass. Some one correct me if I'm wrong on the time.

    I'd be glad to see you not show up at the show. :)
    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?

    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.

    It's a fair point... i just hope it means the curfew is later than the other venues.

    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

    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.'
