It’s safe to say Pearl Jam will never forget their first time in Connecticut. It was 24 years ago this month a riot ensued at the end of Pearl Jam’s sold out 1996 concert at The XFINITY Theatre (then known as The Meadows Music Theatre). According to the Hartford Courant, Hartford Police arrested 30 people and ejected 78 people from the venue after fans tried to rush the stage. An ugly scene, no doubt. The incident even made MTV News:
Today we look back at the show itself, which for Pearl Jam fans, was simply spectacular. Pearl Jam hit the road in support of its fourth studio album, No Code.
