"7/11/03 - Mansfield, Massachusetts" is a three-disc live album by the American alternative rock band Pearl Jam. It was released to retail stores on September 16, 2003.

Overview

The album was recorded live in Mansfield, Massachusetts at the Tweeter Center on July 11, 2003. The show is notable because it was the last of three nights at the Tweeter Center in which the band played 82 originals and 12 covers, with the only repeat being "Yellow Ledbetter". [ [http://www.fivehorizons.com/tour/cc/t2003p3.shtml "2003 Concert Chronology Part 3"] . fivehorizons.com] The band's stated goal over these three nights was to play every song it had played on the entire tour so far, without repeats as noted. To this end, the first disc was an acoustic band set that Pearl Jam played before even openers Sleater-Kinney got on stage; the second and third discs are the regular set following Sleater-Kinney. This encompassing storyline accounts for otherwise mysterious stage remarks that lead singer Eddie Vedder keeps making about "getting to the task at hand." The song "Arc" off of "Riot Act" was played at the beginning of the second encore, right before "I Believe in Miracles", [cite web| url=http://www.pearljam.com/tour/setlist.php?date=200307110000| title= Pearl Jam Shows: 2003 July 11, Tweeter Centre Mansfield, Massachusetts pearljam.com.] but is not included on this or any bootleg, as the song is meant as a tribute to the nine fans who died at the band's 2000 Roskilde Festival performance.

It is one of three official bootlegs that Pearl Jam released in stores from the second leg of its North American Riot Act Tour, and it was one of six official bootlegs released overall to retail stores. Allmusic gave it four out of a possible five stars. At 45 songs, in both number of songs and length of the show, this is the longest Pearl Jam show ever, surpassing the previous longest, "5/3/03 - State College, Pennsylvania".
