Here's the list of the top 20 longest shows taken from PJdb.net. Looks pretty much in line with what you listed however they're ranking the shows by total number of songs played verses the actual running time of the show. For the record, PJdb.net is including Arc in the song count and this list does include the SA shows as well.

Based off this list I can say I've been to three of the top 20 longest shows in their history with Oakland being the longest one. I can only imagine what folks felt like after those Mansfield and Philadelphia shows as my doggies were barking at me after Oakland. Of course that could be due to the fact that I camped out in the GA line all day before the show but it was well worth it in the end!

I was at the #1 show "The Experiment" (07/11/2003). It wasn't that bad, on the legs because PJ came out before Sleater Kinney and did an acoustic set (which is still my favorite boot) and had us all "pace ourselves" (sit down) during that first set.

ps. I think Friday night 1 @ Fenway is setting up for another epic show.

I've been spoiled in the fact I've been to 3 of them from the original list.

But Hartford is still the best PJ show I've been to so it's not always the length of the show that matters.

Funny fact: PJ had a late start in Leeds and right before PJ hit the stage, my buddy turned to me and said, "I guess tonight is going to be a short set."

Of the 16 shows I've been to, Hartford '13 was the absolute greatest.

Philly 2 was great this year, but it can't touch that Hartford show.

My favorite of the long shows is Gorge '05 (completely biased because I was there). 3 hour shows, before every show was 3 hours was something exceptional Vancouver '13 was pretty epic too... It's pretty awesome that 3 hours is now the standard.

It's the best. And this is comin from someone who only went to night 2 2006 so I can be biased the other way.

I think fenway 2 should be on this list. Boot premieres today.

Wrigley shows will probably be added in a few days too

fenway 2 was 35 songs and right around 3 hours and 10 minutes?

I can't believe the Seattle 2013 show doesn't get more love around here. I'm biased having been there, but compared to some that many members drool about, this should be more highly thought of.

Yes I think some minutes will get cut out to account for the time between encore breaks

It seemed like the second night of PJ20 went on forever. Surprised it's not on this list.

Spokane was AMAZING!!! I had such an amazing time there back in '13.

The Spokane boot is a must listen! I was never a fan of the Seattle boot. I didn't like the flow of the set.
