Live at Benaroya Hall is a Pearl Jam live double-disc album, recorded on October 22, 2003 at Benaroya Hall, Seattle, Washington and released on July 27, 2004. The concert is "acoustic", and was performed and released as a benefit for YouthCare, a non-profit charity in Seattle.
It debuted at number 18 on the Billboard chart and sold approximately 40,000 copies in its first week. Live at Benaroya Hall has sold 168,000 units in the U.S. as of April 2006. During "Thin Air", both McCready and Gossard lose track of what to play at one point resulting in musical silence. 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." They also performed the Bob Dylan classic "Masters of War" and Johnny Cash's "25 Minutes to Go".
It 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.
