Asking the Hartford Crowd for the Lyrics
Five Horizons' note says Ed again messed up the lyrics of "Even Flow" in the same spot, for the fourth straight performance by its count, and asked the crowd for them. Five Horizons' capacity line reads 35,000, and the Pearl Jam Concert Chronology prints an attendance of 25 000 and marks the show sold out.
On Sunday, September 13, 1998, Pearl Jam played in Hartford, at the venue the Pearl Jam Concert Chronology heads as Meadows Music Theatre and Five Horizons as Meadows Music Theater. Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals stand on the Pearl Jam Concert Chronology's opening act line, and Ben Harper on Five Horizons' support act line. Both set lines open with "Corduroy" and close with "Do The Evolution," and both encore lines run from "Brain Of J." to "Porch."
The show
Hartford
The two headings give the night as September 13, 1998, at Meadows Music Theatre in Hartford, CT, USA, in the Pearl Jam Concert Chronology, and as 09/13/98, at Meadows Music Theater in Hartford, CT, in Five Horizons. Five Horizons brackets 100m after its heading without stating what it measures. Five Horizons' capacity line reads 35,000, with a parenthesis giving the capacity as 30,000, and the chronology's attendance line prints 25 000 and marks the show sold out.
The Performance
Both set lines include, in order, "Corduroy," "Animal," "Hail Hail," "Given To Fly," "Go," "Dissident," "Tremor Christ," "Daughter," "Jeremy," "Even Flow," "Faithfull," "MFC," "Spin The Black Circle," "Wishlist," and "Do The Evolution." Both encore lines include, in order, "Brain Of J.," "Breath," "Better Man," "Alive," and "Porch."
Five Horizons' note calls the venue's security staff horrible and says pepper spray could be smelled during the show. The note says Ed again messed up the lyrics of "Even Flow" at exactly the same place, for the fourth straight performance by its count, and asked the crowd for them.
The Next Step
New York, two days earlier, on September 11, is told in The First Breath Since 1994 in New York. September 15, two days later, is told in Mike Rolling on the Ground, Playing.
Recording & sound
What the Record Preserves
Ten objects hang under the night's heading on the chronology's page: seven images, among them one whose markup title reads Ticket, and three untitled links, one to a PDF file, one to a zip file and one to a text file. September 13 in Hartford comes down to the venue as each heading names it, a capacity line in Five Horizons beside an attendance figure in the chronology, Ben Harper's name on both bills, one set in one order in both chronologies, Five Horizons' note that Ed asked the crowd for the lyrics of "Even Flow," and ten objects.
