    probably mansfield. but i think they'll play a great show in hartford because of their short set in 2006 due to the cold and rain.
  • Mansfield is always phenomenal. Hopefully they'll add another show there too.

    Love the Grand Prix....Hope to make it this year, no tickets last year...I don't support Ferrari though, I am a McLaren girl :)

    Thanks for all your help....Mansfield it is. How far from Boston is it?

    well, if you want what will probably be one of the most memorable on the tour, than go to Mansfield. If you want to fight for beer and a bathroom, smell Hartford, and get a shorter set list, than go to Conn..

    Again, my thanks for the info.
    ...and It's more the constructor than the pilot but yes, he is pretty cool to watch for such an early start in a career...
  • Mansfield for sure!! I saw Motley Crue & Aerosmith there a while back and the whole time i was at the concert i couldn't help but wish it was Pearl Jam (they have ruined me for all other artists :) )

    it's about half an hour from Boston.

    I'll see you there!!!!!

    not sure about most memorable but i've been to a couple of show closers and they're always a treat...

    state college for example
    Oh, no doubt, State was unreal, I was there also. But to answer this guys question, it is Mansfield. Mansfield 3 may be one of the top five of all time though....

    That is what is killing me with this tour. I am definetly doing the MSG's and Hartford. Then I want to do Camden and Mansfield, but I think they are going to add shows. So if they add a Camden it would make more sense to do both Camdens and not do mansfield. But they may add a Mansfield and then the logical chioce would be do the two Mansfields, and it would most likely be the end of the tour(for now). But we wont know until after the first nights go on sale. I am not complaining it is just screwing with my plan. I could do the drive from long island to camden after work thurs for the show and still go to work on friday and then leave after work again on friday hit the show and stay somewhere. So right now I think if I really want I can do them all if I put aside some cash for it. Then again I could always just take off of work for camden and mansfield, since i dont have to at all for msg and hartford.

    sorry just thinking out loud.

    7/11/03 is arguably the best show ever

    three sets and one acoustic

    tough to beat

    and thats coming from someone who had backstage passes to randalls II 96'

    being from the same area, i have the same exact dilemma. camden or mansfield? hmm... i think camden is easier to do for me. i won't be able to take the port jeff ferry back after the mansfield show because it will be too late and driving around will make that trip so much longer than a possible camden trip.

    i know i am crazy. but havent taken a day off since lolla, and I guess PJ shows are my favorite way to get away.

  • i absolutely love that show...i can't stop listening to aty...

    i really really appreciated the experiment...

    to answer the guys question...

    he needs to go to both ...PERIOD!

    HE...is a SHE and SHE cannot go to both but could add one in Mansfield...Tuesday is a holiday here so that would be perfect...and the majority is telling me Mansfield so...I'll visit Boston between the 2 shows:)

    i live in ct, so hartford and one of the msg nights were definite for me. then i had to decide between mansfield or camden for the third show. i went with mansfield for a simple reason.. last show of a tour, pj always makes EPIC.

    mansfield... its the last show of the tour... they have a history of playing insanely long and good sets there... definitely a no brainer in my book!

    Mansfield is a very chilled out atmosphere. The lawn is nice, the sound is really good, and the chilling in the parking lot before and after is a fun time. The weather should be really perfect (probably low 70's) that time of year as well.
    All that's sacred, comes from youth....dedications, naive and true.
