it has been forever since they played either venue, and it is a shame to do one show at The Gorge, may as well play two as Ernie Banks would say, it could be a warm up for whatever Tour they do and Benaroya Hall part 2 would be even more awesome than the first with all the songs they have written since then, 8 years is too long for The Gorge and 12 years is too long for Benaroya Hall

    I can of course get on board with this. They would all be shows close to me! :D

    I really regret not going to the Benaroya show in '03. The Canadian dollar was in crapper (which made everything expensive), and I was still in Unversity, and the only tickets I could get were the really expensive ($150?) tickets. I opted not to go.... shame on me.

    Gorge would be epic. I went to all the ones in 05/06 and would definitely go if they played out there again. Any shows in Washington State or B.C. are easily within road trip distance to me, so I won't complaint when ever they play in the area :)

    too bad they couldn't do PJ 25 at The Gorge, I don't think they do shows that late in the year, that would be the biggest party ever, hell if they play The Gorge again we are going to make it the biggest Pearl Jam party ever, and now that they won't arrest you for smoking pot, it will only be that much more of an amazing good time

    Yes, please!!! I too was poor and in university in Canada in 2003. After graduating I was out of the country for a few years, so I missed the Gorge shows. Have been waiting for years for something sweet and unique in the PNW. While I love shows at Key Arena and GM Place/Pacific Coliseum, (and am by no means complaining), it would be so awesome to have something at the Gorge, Benaroya, Showbox...or heck, even Red Rocks!

    I would gladly pay 150.00 per ticket to see a show at Benaroya, limited seating and awesome acoustics, now it would be more like 200 to 250

    no not really, because the Gorge is an awesome venue that would bring a crowd from all over the world and fans would love a Benaroya 2 vinyl LP show to listen to, this time a much longer show, it could be a triple LP, how special would that be?

    when was the last time Pearl Jam played the Gorge? 2006
    when was the last time Pearl Jam played Benaroya Hall? 2003
    answer is both venues are long overdue for shows, the band lives here so it is not even like they would have to have a special tour for it, they could use it to get ready for wherever they will be touring in 2015

    Uhm, Benaroya 2003 vinyl set is 4 LP's.. How come a much longer show would end up in 3 LP's only?
