This may have been posted 1 million times and may be a stupid question but.....when they played the Mansfield 03 show and had the acoustic set prior to the opener how did they inform ticket holders to get to the venue early?

    I was living in Orlando at the time and if I remember correctly, I saw something on here about a rumor of a pre-set. When I arrived in Boston, I also heard something on the radio.

    It was billed as "An Evening With Pearl Jam", i believe.

    No Opening Act = GET THERE AT DOORS OPEN, OR YOU'RE A FOOL.

    :D

    edit: err. Wait. I jumped the gun.
    Think i'm wrong.
    There was an opening band.

    Wasn't there?

    Aw, Fuck.
    I'll just go back to A Moving Train now.

    I've been DISCGRACED.

    THROW A TARP OVER MY FACE!

    NO NO!
    THE TARPS THE TARPS!
    If I was to smile and I held out my hand
    If I opened it now would you not understand?

    The third show was on Friday, 7-11-03. On Monday of that week, there was all kinds of rumors on local radio on what they would do to finish all their songs. That Monday afternoon, there was a news blurb right on this homepage that announced they would be playing a 'slower' set to begin the evening to give everyone a heads up. The traffic getting down there was horrible...I sprinted in about halfway through 'Long Road'.


    Night 2 was still the best though.

    I would say at the beginning, it was probably 50-60 % full and by the end it was almost full.

    I got to the Tweeter Center at 7am to wait in line to get tickets that morning. Everyone was talking about it in line. I didnt even know before that. It was worth waiting for 3 hours in line for.
