    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.

    Well, just because something happened 12 years ago, it does not mean it will happen this time.

    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.

    the 9:15 start time is already a bad sign of things to come. which is what got all this started.

    cant beat the stats!

    I'll guarantee this much - it will be infinitely greater than the Salt Lake City show this summer...

    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
    garden
    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 ;)

    HERES TO HARTFORD KICKIN ASS!!

    96 and 98 were some of the best shows in that place

    how can you say it always sucks?
    I just don't trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die.
  • chiquimonkeychiquimonkey Posts: 9,337
    i'm going, so like holy hell it's gonna suck
  • 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. :D

    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.

    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! :D

    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!

    06 these were my closest seats. The weather stunk and it was like a frat party....but had a great time as always!
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!
  • But how was this a bad show/ setlist?????

    1996-10-02 Hartford Connecticut Dodge Music Center

    Set 1 LONG ROAD, Hail Hail, Animal, Last Exit, IN MY TREE, Corduroy, Better Man, Not For You, Jeremy, Red Mosquito, Black, Rearviewmirror, Lukin, Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town, State Of Love And Trust, Footsteps, Alive, Blood/(Fame)/(Noise of Carpet), Porch

    Encore 1 Who You Are, Even Flow, Daughter/(The Real Me)/(W.M.A.), Leaving Here, Present Tense

    Encore 2 Yellow Ledbetter
    Long Road, In My Tree---Black right into RVM into Lukin..
    Footsteps, who you are, ending the 1st encore with present tense??

    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!
    Seek my part, devote myself..

    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.
