Untitled

Live at Benaroya Hall is a two-disc live album by the American alternative rock band Pearl Jam, recorded on October 22, 2003, at Benaroya Hall, Seattle, Washington and released on July 27, 2004, through BMG.

Overview

Live at Benaroya Hall was released through a one-album deal with BMG. It debuted at number eighteen on the Billboard 200 chart and sold approximately 40,000 copies in its first week. As of April 2006, Live at Benaroya Hall has sold 168,000 copies in the United States according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The concert—which took place on October 22, 2003, at Benaroya Hall in Seattle, Washington—is acoustic, and was performed and released as a benefit for YouthCare, a non-profit charity in Seattle. During "Thin Air", both guitarists Mike McCready and Stone Gossard lose track of what to play at one point resulting in musical silence. Vocalist Eddie Vedder jokes at the end that they heard that (where they were performing) the slightest mistake is noticeable and "there was no chance of getting away with that one." The band also performed the Bob Dylan song "Masters of War" and Johnny Cash's "25 Minutes to Go". "Can't Keep" is dedicated to singer-songwriter Elliott Smith, who died a day before.

The album was also released as a very limited edition quadruple vinyl through the Ten Club, Pearl Jam's fan club. Only 2,000 were pressed and each was individually numbered by hand. The vinyl was $40 and sold out within hours of being on sale. It now fetches hundreds of dollars.

Allmusic staff writer Jason Birchmeier gave the album two and a half out of five stars. He said, "Of the many, many live albums Pearl Jam publicly released, their October 23, 2003, show at Benaroya Hall is one of the more novel ones....Such novelty, of course, doesn't make Benaroya Hall an especially excellent set (in fact, it feels a little one-dimensional and subdued because of the acoustic instrumentation), though it is one of the more unique and interesting of the many, many shows Pearl Jam released publicly over the years." Rolling Stone staff writer Christian Hoard gave the album three out of five stars, saying the "album's warm, wizened feel and unusual set list are appropriate for souvenir-collecting obsessives and lapsed fans looking for a new take on Pearl Jam's substantial catalog."
