    Grab the cd and listen to it using above entry level audio equipment. Clamouring over a record in which Pearl Jam plays an acoustic set is ironic.

     Listen to the Unplugged album, Mansfield 2003 opening set, or some Bridge School songs to get your acoustic fill. If the band believed their acoustic stuff was their best, or preferred playing style, they'd be doing it all the time. 

    The collectors can salivate over this album's exclusivity and re sell market to their heart's content. I think most long time Pearl Jam fans don't give a hoot about it, and are not waiting on a re release.

    I'm good with the inferior bootleg. Apparently the band is too.

    Flawed logic. 
    If most longtime fans “didn’t give a hoot about it” the wax wouldn’t be worth $2500 US.

    I'm sure Sony will give it a look. Vinyl looks here to stay. 

    Crossing fingers. Hopefully the pirated bootleg copies floating around are making the Sony reps talk at the conference table that they need more official Pearl Jam vinyl releases flooding the market. 
    With zero evidence, I feel confident it will be reissued in time. Key is not to bite on these over priced bootlegs or on the secondary market OG pressings. 
    Personally I’m fine with it but I doubt they will. All this secondary market stuff it’s literally the same 100 sellers and same 100 buyers and the same few items changing hands year after year for ever increasing prices 

    Demand is vastly amplified in a forum fill of obsessive collectors. I don’t know a single casual Pearl jam fan who would buy a reissue on vinyl of B sides unless there is money in it selling it later. With a reissue that isn’t happening 

    I can’t imagine stuff like Riot Act (which happens to be my personal favourite album) sold that many copies of the reissue considering it’s still for sale in the store now. The last thing they want is inventory on hand 4 years later in a market where vinyl is actually popular 

    I can’t imagine a Benny re issue would be that different if you remove the financial benefit. Almost all the Bennys I’ve ever seen are still sealed. They aren’t bought and sold to listen to obviously 


    I disagree. However many vault 1 they just sold the Benny would do even better. Anyone with an original would want a backup for cheap. It would sell enough to make worth while.
    Agreed. I have an OG and would definitely buy a reissue. I considered buying one of the bootlegs but ended up not doing so.

    I have probably averaged less than 1 time a year playing mine since buying new.  I love my records and have opened and played all my OG Pearl Jam.  And if I come across a PJ record at what I feel is a decent price I’ll buy it for my collection.  Hell 7 years ago or so I bought Rearviewmirror that was missing LP3. I already had my OG that I played but I couldn’t resist the price.  If anyone has just LP3 of Rearviewmirror let’s talk :). Meanwhile I might just put LP3 from Walmart with it hahahahahaha.

    Oh and yes I’d buy a reissue of Benaroya if they released it.
    If you have a chance to make life better for others, and fail to do so, you are wasting your time on this earth.

    I respectfully disagree that a casual PJ fan would buy a copy of a live / acoustic album... think about the 2000-era bootlegs, that were sold individually in places like Best Buy, etc.. they weren't just copies sold directly from the Ten Club store.  

    No one bought those for the financial benefit - it was just awesome to be able to buy live PJ albums from shows you did (or didn't, in my case) attend.  I think this is one of those special shows that would actually appeal to a broader audience, especially if they advertise it as such.  

    Genuinely don't see a losing scenario here, as people will DEFINITELY snatch a repress up, even quicker once they see what the originals are going for, these days..

    If they do a reissue then please don't do it so that we get emails only to find it sold out and on ebay for 4/5 times the price...

    They should do a times edition. Send out an email early. A day or two. Put it up for 2 hours then closed the pre sale.

    it's funny how, listening to the show and seeing a pic of the how understated the stage setup was, the two don't jive.

    If they won't re-release it, what about the first 3-4 songs on a 10" single?

    Or even 3-4 random songs.

    Please?

    I would gladly pay double a normal vinyl especially if they want to give half of proceeds to charity. As much as I love that show I just can’t stomach paying 2k+ for one

    Yup.

    This reissue is a no-brainer. Release it on standard black vinyl. Hell, even use the typical Vault packaging. That way those that have the OP won't complain about the value going down and those that actually want to SPIN IT can actually do just that.
    I LOVE MUSIC.
