Throwback Concert: Jane’s Addiction at Palace Theater 2012

Throwback Concert: Jane’s Addiction at Palace Theater 2012

By Drew Carrano

We’re lucky to have some beautiful classic theaters here in Connecticut. The Shubert in New Haven, The Warner in Torrington, and The Kate in Old Saybrook are just a few of the great historic venues here in our state. But the theater that hosted perhaps the biggest names in rock is the classic Palace Theater in Waterbury. Bands like Pink Floyd, Queen, Grateful Dead, Santana, Genesis, Alice Cooper, and Frank Zappa all performed on The Palace stage.

Today we look back at a more recent show featuring one of the biggest names in alternative rock: Jane’s Addiction.

The show at The Palace Theater in Waterbury in March was Jane’s Addiction first appearance in Connecticut since their memorable headlining performance at The Gathering of The Vibes the previous summer.

Jane’s Addiction 90-minute performance at The Palace opened with the new single, Underground, and then followed by hits Mountain Song, Just Because and Been Caught Stealing.

Throwback Concert: Judas Priest at Arena at Harbor Yard 2005

Throwback Concert: Judas Priest at Arena at Harbor Yard 2005

By Drew Carrano

This year Judas Priest is celebrating 50 plus years of heavy metal with a big tour that’s scheduled to come to Connecticut this September. We don’t know quite yet if their show at Foxwoods will happen or not, but one thing is for sure: Judas Priest has history of great rock shows in Connecticut. Today we look back at their 2005 show in Bridgeport.

Today’s Throwback Concert:

Judas Priest

Retribution 2005 Tour

Opening Act: Anthrax and Hatebreed

Wednesday October 5, 2005

The Arena at Harbor Yard – Bridgeport (now Webster Bank Arena)

 

About The Tour:Judas Priest hit the road in 2005 in support of the album, Angel of Retribution, which was the first studio album to feature singer Rob Halford since 1990. The tour lasted almost the entire year, kicking of in February in Copenhagen and finishing off in early December in Lithuania. In that span they played a total of 111 shows across Europe, Japan, North America and Latin America.

The Arena at Harbor Yard was on the second leg of the North American tour. Anthrax accompanied Judas Priest on most of the dates on the second leg. The show in Bridgeport featured not only Anthrax, but for this show only, Connecticut’s own Hatebreed. Hatebreed was a late add-on to help boost ticket sales.

Much like the Reunited North American Tour of 2004 that opened in Hartford, this tour featured a lot of the classics and fan favorites. Sprinkled in were newer songs like Judas Rising, Revolution and Hellrider.
