    I wouldn't say anything before 2005 because I had was too young to have interest in the band, but Philly 05 is my biggest regret. This show took place as I was getting into PJ but i didn't have the inclination to go that I would have now, 19 shows later. Killer setlist which includes 7 songs i still haven't heard
    '06- Irving Plaza (What a way to see my first PJ concert), Albany, Hartford, Camden I & II, East Rutherford I & II, Pittsburgh

    '07- THE VIC!!!, Lollapalooza (Chicago)

    '08- Virginia Beach, Camden I & II, Washington D.C., MSG I & II, Hartford, Mansfield I & II,
    EV NY I & II, Newark, DC I & II

    For me it has to be Mansfield 3 2003, show is amazingly epic and the acoustic set at the beginning is truly jaw dropping setlist wise and has just plain beautiful renditions of a lot of songs I love.

    Went to night 2 of 3 and I had tickets for Mansfield 3 but I had to get rid of them. It really doesn't bother me too much because my son was born a few days before.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    For me, recently it was Hartford 08, i went to Hartford 06 and decided to pass this year. I had that day off too and instead i went into Boston and saw..........DEVO. Haha Devo was great but i cant help kicking myself for missing that Hartford show.

    Prague

    2007
    London

    I missed all 3 nights of the Experiment because my son Brandon was due that week.

    ...and I have no regrets about that decision.

    The Vic, Philly 05, The 1st night at the George 06, last night at Boston 03, Randall's Island NY 96, State college 03, The MTV Unpluged show. I also have always wanted to go see them in South America like in Argentina & hang out with the fans down there so If your Argentinian (I guess thats right) i'm comin down and parting South American style! Also the same with the Itlian fans. Pearl Jam, beer, and some exotic women! Then come back and get tested for STDs. Sounds great

    Hartford 1996

    I had a ticket and could not get out of work.
    My boss was going to fire me if I left.

    Mansfiled 2 1998

    I went to the Mansfiled 1 and was so hung over I decided not to go.
    I actually got in my car and started it and then threw up.
    I didn't have a ticket but there were plenty of people selling during night 1.

    i hate this thread for what im about to type.

    back in 03 a friend of mine was at ticketbastard and called and asked if i wanted to go to uniondale on 4/30, or the second msg show that year. I said get the uniondale ones since the seats were a little better..... well i think we all know what happened.
