Amazing show...ten rows back! Eddie was in form tonight! This was my fifth show and easily the best of the five...but all five are great memories...can't wait to see them in "Middle America" this summer for two nights of ridiculousness!!! PJ is the best live show on the planet!

I agree w you

Yes! Next time, two nights. Please.

First Pearl Jam Show. Loved every moment. Please Come back sooner then later

wow! just an amazing show, loved the opening song unthought known gave me chills. great venue for pearl jam sound was great,loud,& f@#kin' awesome enough said for the greatest band !

My brother won the lottery!! 2nd row in front of mike M!!! we even got a sip of the wine bottle during crazy Mary! What a great Show!!!!!

Hartford was great but The Garden on Thursday was UN-FING-BELIEVABLE! GREAT SHOWS!

This show rocked soooo Fucking hard! It feels good to be downloading it as I write this! :) 10club seats were amazing!

it was my first time getting 10C tickets (section 103, great seats for only being a member for 10 months!!) and it couldn't have been a better night!! great setlist!! might not have been as insane as Harford 08's setlist but between the two shows, the band only played 6 songs twice. talk about giving the Hartford crowd a great variety over the past couple of years!!! can't wait for the boot. RELEASE IT ALREADY!!!

This show was amazing. I was able to share this great moment with my wife and then my sis and bro in law for their first time. They loved it! You guys rock and keep rocking. I am buying the bootleg def! Thanks Pearl Jam and thanks to all the fans their. It really is an amazing experience with the band and the fans. Cant wait for the next one! So many great songs you guys have it must be really hard to make a setlist but you always deliver!

The VH cover was so unexpected. The highlight of the show for me. I know Eddie said it was "one time only" but I hope you'll reconsider. The crowd loved it and sang along with the chorus like it was one of PJ's own.

Great show, great people, great vibe! You guys rock, can't wait for the next show. My brother and I are each other's concert buddies and it turned out the people behind us were siblings too, high-fives were flowing. Thanks for bringing us family together to share the bond of great music! Peace

Ninth show that I have seen since 1993, and it was the best overall show I have been to. Great show!!!!!

Thanks for an awesome show in Hartford, guys! You were truly on FIRE! Someday I hope you'll come to Portland, Maine. And thanks 10 Club for second row seats! I may not have gotten uked, but I was close enough for my UKE ME t-shirt to be visible from stage. I felt so lucky; it was a surreal night. Great interaction with the crowd and sweet setlist. LOVED IT!

Took my 8 year old son to his first PJ show. He absolutely loved it,hasn't stopped talking about it yet and wore the concert T shirt to school Monday.
The fans siting around us were great,fully supportive to the fact a young kid was there, thanks to section 115! Looking forward to MSG, possibly a second show for the little guy...if he can bump his mother out!

Flying in from Tampa for this PJ show in my hometown was the thrill of the year for me! I wish I had been lucky enough to win the lottery but maybe next time! I went with a friend of mine who had never seen PJ live before and he was floored! I'm just sad it is all over....going to buy the boot once I am able to. Thanks PJ for a great show and 10C...remember me for my next show ok? LOL

I've seen them 4 times now, my girlfriend got me tickets behind the stage, best show I've ever seen, PJ or anyone else, even beat out when I saw them in '95 at Summerfest (my first show).

Wow! What a show, the best I've ever seen from them although I've only seen them 4 times. I started feeling a vibe a couple of days before the show and knew the crowd was going to rock the band as much as they were going to rock us. Set list was awesome. The VH song was a total surprise and as the guy standing next to me said "they out Van Halen'd Van Halen".

My first show and I hope the rest are just like this one!! When I heard Ain't Talking About Love, I freaked out, totally unexpected and completely awesome!!!! Can't wait for my second show!

Thank you to my favorite band in the world for putting on one of the greatest shows I have ever had the priviledge of seeing. This wasn't my first Pearl Jam show and I really hope there will be many more in the future. The guys are always at the top of their game. They make the choices that they want and it keeps things fresh and new for every show. You couldn't ask for anything more. I wish it didn't have to end. Trying really hard to get to MSG. I should have planned better. I knew Hartford was going to rock and now I have non-buyers remorse!

Thanks to the fans in Hartford. Everyone was energetic and ready to party. It's such a great feeling to be with people that truly appreciate the music and love the band.

Thank you 10 Club for the awesome seats.

Wow what an AMAZING show that was!! My boyfriend and I flew all the way from the Bay Area, CA (which most of my friends thought was c-r-a-z-y, but hey, when it comes to Pearl Jam there is nothing crazy!) But anyways, this is one of the best shows! The people in the East Coast are so cool and fun!! My other best show was Mansfield, Massachussetts and the crowd and atmosphere was also amazingly contagious and fun!!
Eddie and the boys are simply the best around!!

LONG LIVE PEARL JAM!! :-)

And thank you 10c for the awesome tickets!!

This was my 2nd Pearl Jam concert - the first was in 1998 at The Meadows. I must say that this was BY FAR the best concert I've ever been to. It was the kind of show that you know you'll never get to experience ever again...but the memory of experiencing it just that once is enough to last a lifetime.

To my fellow crowd members: awesome job setting the tone and keeping the energy for the entire night.

To Pearl Jam: thanks for giving us one of your best shows ever!

I drove 6h from Montréal to attend the show.
and it was simply epic!

the sound was great, the setlist was amazing. the crowd was wild.

the only weird moment: when Eddie asked the crowd to sing along during Jeremy. Everybody was waiting for him to start the chorus to follow but Eddie waited for the crowd to sing it.... A little moment of confusion that I could see on his face from the side of the stage LOL.

Mike was in top shape. Jeff had awesome shoes. Eddie's voice was amazing. Matt was in fire and Stone played without his glasses!

Did I mention the setlist was amazing?? I'm also pretty sure they wanted to play another song but were forced to stop shortly pass 11:00 pm. From my point of view, the lights were turned up a earlier then they planned. There was some confusion again on Eddie's face when lights went on.
Maybe it's the insane amount of second hand marijuana smoke that altered my judgment, but that's how it looked.

AWESOME SHOW!!! :)))

The show as so many post are saying was a particularly good one. Great crowd and the band definitely responds to a good crowd by elevating the performance to another level. To many highlights to to take the time to post. Oh yeah! I almost forgot.... FRONT ROW!!!! Thank you so much 10 club!!!

Thank You 10C for giving me front row seats!!! I know i talked shit on you, cuz your ticket buyin ways def is retarded, but youve done right by me!! Show rocked, cya in MSG!!

Thanks 10c, won the lottery for 1st row. Of course the show was one of the best and no let downs..... love you guys, cant wait for MSG!!! keep rockin...

Hey - "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" was great at Hartford. No I don't like Van Halen but the cover was fun, well done, and rocked the crowd!

Eddie promised that 'Ain't talkin' 'bout love was a one time only thing!? I hope so! I'd rather stick a shish-ka-bob tong in my ear than hear PJ cover Van Halen! Outside of that... killer set list Hartford!

Oh, don't worry... we'll be there!

Show was excellent. I will be in MSG as well and I just wanna comment on your ATM story. You could see the crowd coming and Pearl Jam fans definitely seem to be a higher breed of person. Its hard to stereotype, but you could see it after the show as you walked down town. The farther from the XL center I walked, the more problems seemed to be happening. It seemed the city stopped and was overtaken by Pearl Jam fans leading up to the show. I'm glad you had good fortune and hope you enjoy NYC!

I must admit that the Hartford crowd was pretty wild, and you could tell from the beginning that the band was feeding off of that energy and bringing the thunder. Great setlist, some nice surprises, and definitely one of the most energetic crowds I've seen at any show. Good shit Hartford jammers! Hope to see you people at MSG!

Great show!. Was not sure I was going to make it. I bought a ticket the night before the show. I was able to get sec 214 ROW A. Not bad at all considering when I bought the ticket. Set was unbelievable. OTOTO. VH. Mike is an absolute beast on the guitar. Very Very High energy. The best part of the night was meeting the girl next to me who was a long time 10c member. She too was not sure she was going to get to the show and got the ticket late. Could not have asked for better company at the show. Looking forward to seeing the show in Boston. See you at the harp L.

First off...I posted on here yesterday asking for any help in securing tix for Hartford after some dirtbag took me for $210 and never sent me the e-tix. BOY OH BOY did 10C come through BIG TIME.

HUGE THANKS "Charlie from Austin" This dude sent me multiple text messages out of the blue while I was on the road letting me know what tix were available from people on here..."Charlie from Austin" if you are ever in upstate NY, I owe you a cold one!

SECOND HUGE THANKS- SHARON AND CELINA (sp? sorry!) these two were like angels - these two hooked me and my wife up with FLOOR SEATS at less than face value!!!! INCREDIBLE PEOPLE, helped me remember that the world isnt full of douche bags like the one who got my $ and didnt deliver the tix....I guess all the good people are ten clubbers!

AS FAR AS THE SHOW - I had read on here over the last couple weeks, and everyone said how incredible the shows had been so far, best ever etc... I didnt really see how they could be that different....they are always great....Well, now I know. The energy from the guys was unmatched to previous shows. I have never seen them collectivly look so happy on stage, they were all smiling all night. Set list speaks for itself.

Cant wait for MSG2 on Friday, hopefully something special in store for us. Neil Young is in Albany this week....maybe he can stop by and say hello?!?!?!??!

Pearl Jam played for 2hrs 20min!!!! This Hartford show was on the top of my list for favorite shows! This was I think my 15th show. It was great! They did a Van Halen song and dedicated it to the Uconn Huskie women's team...Eddie announced that Jeff Ament is a bit of a fan. Ed made sure to annoucne that this was a OTOTO performance..."One Time, One Time Only!" Anyways... great set and the energy was amazing!!!!!! Thank you Pearl Jam and Ten Club! I was 11th row center stage. I'm so happy that I have never let my membership expire.

Well, this was my 10th show! As always, it's evident that Eddie & the boys bring their "A" Game to every show! It makes sense that most performers would get more pumped up, more excitable, more energized, and play longer at epic venues and major cities. What impresses me and what I think really sets them apart from many other bands is that while they LOVE playing MSG and seem to play their longest and rowdiest set-lists there, they still come with 100% energy and excitement at every other venue I've ever been to, including last night.

Also, even though the crowd is always awesome at all the PJ shows I've been to, I found last night's crowd extra ROWDY. Unlike what someone wrote on a comment about the Buffalo show, I didn't see anyone sit down at any point! The energy and electricity was as good as ever, if not better.

Though it would have been nice to get 3-4 more songs, the 27 songs they played was just fine. I loved the intro to Nothingman and how Eddie talked about seeing a young couple holding hands and how they have their whole life ahead and this song is about what happens when something goes wrong. Just tremendous. I think this was my favorite part. Just Breathe was awesome. The old standards were fun and as good as ever (Cordoroy, Even Flow, Alive, Evolution, Porch). Also, getting Jeremy pretty early was a highlight. Overall, it was just standard, everyday Pearl Jam....which means a great show with crazy electricity and a unique set-list!

The closing 2 songs - Indifference & Watchtower - were different but really cool I thought. Hearing Indifference with the lights on was superb.

Great great time! Can't wait for MSG on Friday. That's gonna be their last show for a month before they head over to Europe so I'm really hoping for an epic display!!!

Great show
one of the loudest crowds i have ever heard at a concert
ten club seats were great section 104
van halen cover? cant get any better than that

Great show!!! I got shut out of the club pre-sale so i was stuck in sect 200. Not complaining because anywhere in the building watching the greatest rock bend EVER is fine with me!!!

my 10c seats were a bit disappointing, but i was very happy to be there. They really delivered a great show with some even greater surprises. Ain't talkin bout love really was a mind blower, that you so much for that one.

I agree with you DB33071, and this is even though my 10c membership lapsed for a bit six years ago. I stand towards the middle/back of what I assume are the 10c seats and daydream about "what if I would have been responsible enough to renew on time..." :) GREAT shows, no matter where you are sitting, though! And that's a fact. Can't wait until tomorrow night!!

Are you crazy! do you know how many bandwagon fans there are? PJ has been allotting tickets this way since the beginning. Fans that have been there the longest deserve the better seats. madmacs44, you must be a recent fan to be complaining.

This was my third show (first of the tour) and it was incredible! I Got Shit, Crazy Mary, and Dissident were huge gems for me. Can't ask for a much better set.

I just want to say that before the show, I left my ATM card in a machine close to the arena. As me and my girlfriend were getting settled into the arena, I realized I didn't have my card. Thankfully the security guard let me leave and re-enter to try and find it. It turns out that someone found my card and left it with security in the building of the ATM. Assuming this was a Pearl Jam fan and 10C member, I would just like to thank you for turning it in instead of what any low life dirtbag would do. If this was you that did it and turned it in, if you're going to MSG, drinks are on me buddy!

It just goes to show how PJ fans truly look out for one another and are just a one of a kind fanbase. Keep rockin' and respecting one another!

Show #13 for me, awesome time, great show, can't wait for Boston tomorrow!
"Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love"...SO AMAZING, I still can't believe they played it!!

Great show guys. First since seeing you in Boston in 2003. Nothing changes... you are the best. Loved the VH cover. Great era song to fit UConn women's team who are awesome, undenyably.

Still love the old stuff, as well as the new...keep rockin.

JC

Great show as always...The VH cover was awesome and definitely a highlight. They guy standing next to me was totally baffled when they broke that out...He asked me what tune it was. For a self proclaimed PJ-head, he was in the weeds on that one!

Awesome as always.

For the people who held up "Black" signs to suggest a substitute for Yellow Ledbetter, WTF! Enjoy the show no matter what they play! Who cares. Like Eddie said, do they come to your house and start demanding bacon and eggs for breakfast? Be grateful that you're there...

Now maybe everyone can be happy that there was a new song for an encore: WATCHTOWER!!! Wow; wish i could have been there.
