08 Jul 2014, Leeds 36 songs
06 Dec 2013, Seattle 36 songs
03 May 2003, State College 36 songs

01 Sep 2005, George 36 songs
04 Dec 2013, Vancouver 36 songs
20 Jun 2014, Milan 35 songs
25 Oct 2013, Hartford 35 songs
20 Oct 2014, Milwaukee 35 songs
17 Nov 2015, Brasilia 35 songs
22 Jun 2014, Trieste 35 songs
25 Jun 2014, Vienna 35 songs
17 Oct 2014, Moline 35 songs
29 Oct 2013, Charlottesville 35 songs
26 Jun 2014, Berlin 35 songs

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!

These times were figured out previously, taken from the bootleg running times.

mcgruff10 · February 2016

What s the longest show for Australia/nz and central/ South America?

RS151862 · February 2016

I'm assuming the longest central/SA show is from this tour. I don't have any of the bootleg running times.

Wonder if that Canadian record will be beat this May.

I think I'll take the over for this years Wrigley-2 show.

I also think if the rain didn't come in 2013, that would've been the longest show ever.

RS151862 · February 2016

Thanks for the show times cutz

Yea but wrigley 2013 was one show and this year you have two and two in Fenway

Remember gorge 2005 got a super long show and then the two shows in 2006 were shorter

I think those Gorge shows are the best model to look at. If I had to predict I would say none of the four ballpark shows in 2016 will approach Wrigley in 2013. But we'll see.

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."

rssesq · February 2016

6 out of 10 for me.
1,2,5,7,8 & 9

Got the times from PJ Bootleg Download.

Typo on Santiago 2:34.

BA, according to PJ Bootlegs, is 2:59 and 4 seconds. I didn't, as you can see, put the seconds so therefore my list is unofficial>LOL!!!

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.

The longest show from their 2016 tour ..

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.

Zod · June 2016

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.

SVRDhand13 · August 2016

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

Wrigley shows will probably be added in a few days too
