In 2003, Pearl Jam was on tour. They saw a 3 night stand coming up in Mansfield (just outside of Boston). so, they decided to try something a little different. Over the 3 nights, they would play EVERY song that they had played on tour, with no repeats. It got dubbed "The Experiment". The first 2 shows were long, but they still had 44 songs to play night 3. So, they did a 12 song acoustic set BEFORE the opening act, then still did a long full set. Then, all 3 sets were released as official bootlegs.
I bought all 3 and strung them together on my iPod, and it is just amazing having every big song, obscure b-side and a bunch of covers in one huge live set with no repitition.
But every time I hear it, I just think about how amazing it would be if the Hip ever did this. They have such a deep catalog, it would be great to have a set like that for fan...
On a related note, any word on more "live from the vault" concerts being released?

This should probably be moved to the Tragically Hip discussion section.

Wilco did something similar a few years back. In 5 nights at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago, they played every song they'd released on albums and several they hadn't. It would be pretty incredible to see the Hip do something like this.

I think The Hip did a great job mixing things up during their 6 nights at Massey Hall in 09. Something like 70 different songs for those 6 shows. Seemed like a bunch of gems each and every night plus acoustic versions of so many different songs. They really spoiled their fans with that tour.

I would personally like to see the Hip play the entire Day for Night album live, and release it as a concert DVD. Another band I like, Clutch, recently did this with one of their classic records.

I wish the Hip would ... come back to Australia!
