They always seem to love playing there - they had a fever for Van Halen a couple of times - and it'll be 13 years next year. Come Back!

    13 years since there has been a New England show anywhere but Fenway. It's time!

    Would love a show in Hartford. I’m maybe an hour twenty away!

    Long overdue.  I was a fan of the Whalers growing up and PJ in Hartford is on my bucket list!

    Was at the 2013 show, with 2 PJ concert newbies.

    The loudest show I've ever been to, PJ or otherwise.

    Even the man himself was overwhelmed by how loud we were:

    "Fucking unbelievable!"

    This isn’t normal is one of my favorite quotes.

    2010 was the best run of all time. Unfortunately after 2006 I skipped on Hartford each time and I regret it immensely.

    Stayed in the hotel connected to the venue in both 2010 and 2013.  Two of my all time favorite shows. Such a blast. Would be happy to go again.

    yeah 2006 was meh city for sure. But 2008 and 2013 were really fun later era shows. I remember 2010 being solid too.

    I love being at the ‘96 and ‘98 shows.. those that attended got a little 
    dose of pepper spray 😂

    I remember Ed inviting everyone to dance in the aisles during the encore. It got quite chaotic. As a result, we did not get a second short encore, which was typical at that time. I was bummed.
    We did get a repeat of Breath, which was recently revived at MSG due to the "Breath campaign" at the previous show.

    * Hartford '98.

    Hartford, 2010… my (then girlfriend) & I had been dating for a year, and this was her first PJ show. Since then she’s seen them 15 or so more times in 4 different countries. (She’s a keeper)

    Same for my now wife and I, only in 2013. 

    Really hope they go back to arenas and Hartford gets back on the schedule.
