Elevation Hartford 6.3.01 Civic Center

Sunday June 3, 2001 Hartford, CT

Tasha and I drove from Albany to Hartford and were in the GA line at the Civic Center by 9:00am. The GA line was inside, which was so comfortable and mellow! I met some more U2 friends: Aaron, Dave and a fellow Elvis fan, Michelle. The Hartford show was one of my favorite shows thus far. I was so into the music. It’s all a blur really. It was the same set list as Albany, except U2 played In a Little While, She’s a Mystery to Me after One, the Rolling Stones Wild Horses after Bad as well as the ‘how long’ chorus from 40. I stood right on the rail in front of Adam. For some reason, Tasha stood on the other side in front of Edge at the rail, even though she’s the Adam fan. I wore my Elvis tee shirt and had my sign that said, “I love Elvis almost as much as I love Larry. Can I have your sticks?” Larry, Adam and Bono saw it, but still no drumsticks. I am going to try again in Boston. Try and try again! PJ Harvey opened again – I’m starting to really like her.
