Throwback Concert: Pearl Jam at The XFINITY Theatre 1996

Throwback Concert: Pearl Jam at The XFINITY Theatre 1996

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.

Radiohead is a band that doesn’t play in Connecticut often. In fact, they last played here in 1996.

Today we look back at when Radiohead first played in Connecticut: May 30, 1995 at Toad’s Place. By 1995, Radiohead had already established itself as one of the bigger alternative rock acts with its breakthrough single Creep from 1992. In 1995 Radiohead hit the road to promote its second studio album The Bends, which featured the hit songs My Iron Lung, Planet Telex / High and Dry and Just.
