    Yeah, it was. When the pre-set started, the place was nearly empty. We had 20th row dead center seats, and the seats in front of us were probably 80% empty going up to the stage.

    The experiment was all 3 nights without repeating a song. They pulled it off with the exception of Yellow Ledbetter.

    One of my favorite boots of all time.. too bad some songs are ruined by The Mansfield Screamer (the girl with the really high shrill scream that seems to scream at the most inopportune times)

    You should hear the Athens, Greece '06 bootleg... The Athens Screamer is much much worse... And it's the only show i've been to with an official boot.. :-(


    Anyway, back on Mansfield, I love listening to Benny Hall just before the July 11th show...
    Such an awesome show!!!

    Absolutely correct! Traffic was a nightmare and most people arrived late.

    I have been pretty lucky when it comes to shows (Boston Garden "94, MSG2 slow lukin, Seattle 2000, Alpine to name a few) and those three shows have been the highlight for me. I think I heard 98 songs in 3 nights...By the end of the third show I could not think of another song that they could have played.

    Fuck. You beat me to it. She Ruined fortunate son on that tour and I think in Camden she did hunger strike.

    I went to the 7/3 show. Driven to tears was amazing and I am a patriot too.

    That acoustic set is miles better than MTV Unplugged and Benaroya.

    Long Road, Of The Girl, Sometimes, Off He Goes, All Those Yesterdays, Drifting, Thin Air, Sleight Of Hand, Footsteps, All Or None, Parting Ways, Indifference.

    Probably 7 of my top 20 PJ songs in there!

    The main set is superb too!! :D I've not listened to the first 2 nights for a long time..
    Like a book among the many on a shelf...

    Dublin 02 Arena - 22/6/10. Belfast Odyssey Arena - 23/6/10. London Hyde Park - 25/6/10. Berlin Wuhlheide - 30/6/10.
    Manchester MEN - 20/06/12. Manchester MEN - 21/06/12

    Agreed on the acoustic set being far superior to their MTV Unplugged and Benaroya. I'm still not sure if I like it more than Bridge School 92 or 96, but it's close.

    would love to get my hands on these also. I should have been there, but circumstances did not allow and I have regretted missing ever since. :( I wonder if I looked really hard, would I be able to find a copy? any suggestions?

    one of the worst ppl to ruin a boot was one of the bridge school acoustic shows. It came in a purple sleeve and was probably mid 90s. Two ppl talking throughout. aaaaah!

    Getting to see all three shows of "The Experiment" was such an amazing experience. I'll never forget Eddie announcing the band's plan to play 105 songs in three shows. Luckily enough, there were tickets available for night three after the first show. What a summer!

    The thing I always wondered about these shows was why did they pkay 2 nights in a row at the same venue, then go elsewhere then come back to the same venue a week later? I'm sure there is a good answer that I just never have known, but I've never seen another tour in my life do that.

    The experiment was decided after they already had the tour booked, if I remember correctly. The July 11 show was a last minute addition.
    9/13/1998 - 9/15/1998 - 8/29/2000 - 7/2/2003 - 7/3/2003 - 7/11/2003 - 9/28/2004 - 9/28/2005 - 5/13/2006 - 5/27/2006 - 6/1/2006 - 6/28/2008 - 6/30/2008 - 5/17/2010 - 10/25/2013

    I think the 7/11 was an add in after Ed said he wanted to play every song in the pearl jam catalog.

    she did hunger strike at PNC. man, when i heard the opening cords, boner. when she started singing, flatulence.

    and yeah, the mansfield acoustic set was off the hook. you can tell the set list was carefully selected.

    I'm Locked and I endorse this thread.

    Listen to "sleight of hand" > "footsteps"
    From 7/11/03...

    Some of the most perfect vocals Ed has ever performed..

    Not to be a downer but why the complete blackout of any video from these three shows?
    It's like the area 51 of PJ concert videos...
    I was praying that something would be included in the PJ20 bonus CDs but nope...

    I absolutly agree! Saw all three myself and I still can not believe how easy it was to pick up tickets for the third show. When I heard that the band was going to start the night out acoustically, for night 3, I knew it was going to be an amazing night. What a set of shows they were too!
