    Here it is:

    Tweeter Center, Mansfield, Massachusetts - July 11th 2003
    The Boston Experiment. The 3rd of 3 Boston shows in 2003, the band had attempted to play their entire catalogue of over 100 shows over the 3 Boston shows. While playing approx. 56 over the first 2, meant they needed a shitload of songs in the 3rd... and they did it. Featuring a 12 song acoustic set BEFORE the opening band, Sleater-Kinney, this is the longest show in Pearl Jam's history, and easily one of the best. 2 Sets, and 3 Encores.
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1WPH3O3H
    Set 1 Long Road, Of The Girl, Sometimes, Off He Goes, All Those Yesterdays, Driftin', Thin Air, Sleight Of Hand, Footsteps, All Or None, Parting Ways, Indifference
    Set 2 Can't Keep, Breakerfall, Brain Of J., Spin The Black Circle, Ghost, Green Disease, Tremor Christ, Given To Fly, Nothing As it Seems, Cropduster, Faithfull, Why Go, Wishlist/(Why Can't I Touch It?), Leatherman, Nothingman, Better Man, 1/2 Full, Untitled, MFC, Blood
    Encore 1 Breath, Habit, Down, Mankind, U, Black, Jeremy
    Encore 2 I Believe In Miracles, Know Your Rights, Fortunate Son, Rockin' In The Free World
    Encore 3 Yellow Ledbetter

    One of my biggest regrets ever. I went to the first two but went to a carnival w/girlfriend (now wife) instead of going to this show. Can someone take a frying pan and bash me over the head please? I think the BRY site says it's their favorite show.

    Sorry... Gonna have to say that State College was the longest ever. Manfield is disqualified due to S-K playing inbetween the PJ sets.

    That aside, the acoustic set is the best 12 songs PJ has ever put together and played in one shot.

    Ha ha, good call.

    I was gonna say State College was the longest SPONTANEOUS show in Pearl Jam history! I.E., you weren't told to get there early for a pre-set, no one knew it was going to be so incredible. You always HOPE for that being the end of the leg of the tour, but no one expected it.

    I'm sure Mansfield was kick ass too. That's one of the few bootlegs I have from 2003 that was a show I didn't go to, and it was cool.

    I had gone to the 2 others and didn't realize how epic a show it was going to be. I didn't actually have, but had the opportunity to get them thru TM. She didn't care if I went.

    Agreed, Boston 3 was like 2 seperate shows. State College was the longest show ever. For the record, I was at BOTH shows.

    Mansfield III from 2003 is probably my favorite Pearl Jam concert that I have attended.

    I can't believe how few people were actually there for the acoustic set.

    Only the real fans had any idea they would actually do it. It wasn't written on the ticket or anything.

    It was great...everybody was sitting. It was so laid back, and hearing them acoustic was an experience I'll never forget.

    Awesome shows in 03. I'm still wondering why they played all those covers on night 3 instead of Last Exit and Glorified G though....

    That show was great. I remember sitting in Indianapolis and reading online a day before the show they were opening for themselves. So I went on Ticketmaster, bought a ticket, booked a hotel, and got in the car. There was no doubt would be missing that show. Unfortunately, the transmission on my car went out after the show, so I had to take the bus back home.

    it was a great show, sleater kinney kinda inflated the second encore for me personally

    but the acoustic, main set and first encore were un-fucking real.


    all or none and parting ways are the best versions ever IMO.

    Mansfield III was the best show I have ever been to. Don't forget they also played One Note. I thought that was hilarious.

    i think chicago 7.11.95 is worthy of mention in here! cheers!
    Seems that needlessly it's getting harder

    Are we getting something out of this

    There were few people there at the start however that was to do with how flipping EARLY they started. It was well publicized what they intended to do, it was all over the radio on the 10th and 11th, that they would hit the stage sometime after 4pm. Getting to the Tweeter mid afternoon is a pain in the ass. We walked in midway through the 3rd song-Sometimes. I recall it was not until Thin Air that there was an actual "crowd" and the upper sections and lawn were starting to fill up. For me, Indifference was ablsolutely mid blowing what a version to close the acoustic set.
