Jill Scott concert chronology

Jill Scott was hospitalized for an illness a day after the tour kicked off on May 5, in D.C.[2] She was treated and released with orders to rest for a week, as she would miss the first few shows. She soon recovered and joined Sting on May 15, when the tour arrived in Madison, Wisconsin at the Kohl Center.[3] Scott resumed a North America second leg tour in July with dates scheduled through the summer.[4]

The tour was later packaged and released as a two CD-set entitled Experience: Jill Scott 826+. The August 26, show was recorded at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. Disc 1 is the live concert, while disc 2 showcases new material including poetry spoken to music known as "Thickness".
