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?
that's awesome. just tracked all 3 shows down and am looking forward to listening!
