PJ themselves just sold one of these for about a thousand on ebay, didn't they? They aren't going to turn around and re-issue it right after doing that. As much as I wish they would.
I don't like all the negative energy in here I will stay optimistic. One day, this is gonna happen and all the Bennyless will be Bennied. Why does this need to be exclusively for the rich? And a lot of them don't even get opened and spun. It is a sad, sad world :expressionless:
I will never understand buying vinyl and keeping it sealed/not playing it. Especially this set. My goodness that wine color is just downright sexy!
I never understand this, either. Vinyl is meant to be played!

Yea, but collectors collect. Just like all those people that keep toys in their 'original packaging'
Well, this is why we suggest a different packaging and different coloured records. I bet some of the people who have two or three sealed Bennies (yes, they are exisiting) will rejoice and add a third or fourth copy, and maybe they will feel like opening and spinning that one without lowering the value of their original first press

It wasn't really intended to be for the rich. Originally it was intended to be for (roughly) 2000 fans at a price of $35 per set. It took nearly 48 hours to sell out (ie most people that wanted one got one.. at the time). It was a decent sized pressing for the time, but was also intended to be a limited item. I don't think it was intended for the rich, that's something that happened with fans afterwards.

Collectors collect dust & envy, that's all. :P
The difference being you can usually see a toy thru the packaging. You can evaluate the condition of the 'collectible' without opening it. Now, I realize that you can find value in the record packaging itself, unlike a toy which is basically just in a display box with a cardboard back. But the intended purpose of the record is to be played on a turntable; the music is to be heard. Someone buys a sealed toy, odds are they're going to keep it sealed as well. That's not always the case with records.
Besides, opening and playing a record doesn't make it any less a part of someone's collection. To each their own, I just wish people who actually want to listen to the music didn't have to miss out because a copy is sitting on someone else's shelf unused.

A record is not a toy.
Stamp collections - fine, it's not like you are going to put a rare 1950 stamp on an envelope to mail something.
Coin collections, doll collections, hockey card collections - all collections you can do something with.

Open, spin, enjoy. Why anyone would just wanna sit and look at a sealed piece of wax I just don't understand. "Wow nice you have that on vinyl?!? How's it sound?" Person with sealed record..."oh I don't know I just like to look at it". :-q

Collecting sealed records is stupid.
I am pretty sure most people that have old/collectible coins, cards, comics, or whatever have them in highly protective packaging and they just sit in boxes or on a shelf somewhere. Not sure what you can really "do" with those types of collections. Maybe put the hockey cards in your bike spokes? Play quarters with old coins?
No comment on dolls...they are fucking creepy
I fully support a re-issue, but I also understand why people keep them sealed and have no problem with it. To each their own.

Partly why I just sold a huge chunk of my PJ bootleg collection. The cds are just sat there. I've copied them to my laptop and played them. Then they just sit on the shelf collecting dust. Some I've not even checked because I ended up with download links before the cds arrived from Nugs.

I might not completely understand the sealed keepers mentality, but I think everybody should do as they please with their property. I would spin the hell out of mine. If a couple more would be available, and for a more realistic price, we would not even have this discussion. A reissue would make so many people happy

Well, there have been instances that seem to prove that they at least get notified of certain things happening on here, so I think it might be very well possible that they know of this little petition. Plus, I started this thread in February 2011, so it has been on here for a while. And I intend to keep it going. It doesn't hurt anyone
Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!
You sure are persistent, Leez. I hope they do this. Or maybe do a similar show this year and release that...we need more special shows on vinyl. I'm new to vinyl and most of this stuff is way out of my budget.
I have other PJ shows on vinyl and they are all awesome. This one, however, is very special because it is not a normal show, but rather acoustic. And the song selection is excellent. I have listened to it so many times and it never gets old. I love it more than any other shows.

I really don't get why people buy vinyl and never open it. Each to their own I guess.
Honestly, with a lot of collectible things I try to buy 2, one that I play and the other stays sealed. Many things I can't get two of, or just don't want to spend the money for two.
With Hi-res digital now though, I could buy one copy, then buy the 24bit/192kHz file and have the best of both worlds. The collectible sealed vinyl, and the 'superior' sound of the digital file.
There is only a few records that I only have one copy of and it stays sealed. Binaural and RVM, I bought them sealed and just can't get myself to open them. The rest of PJ, I have at least one that is open.
I admit sometimes when I got something like the white Backspacer or the Coke Bottle Ten, I was tempted at first to leave it closed, but that lasted only a very short time. Once I ripped the foil open, these records became mine and served the purpose I was buying them for - to listen to them. I don't know how anybody can sit still and not stare at the package of a Benny and be tempted to rip it open to see that gorgeous wine coloured vinyl and put it on and let the room, the air and the heart be filled with those magical, warm, soothing, feel good sounds...
But yeah, to each their own. I should ever get a Benaroya Hall vinyl into my hands, the shrink will come right off as soon as I am close to a record player. I will cherish it forever and give it a spin at least once every week (after the first rush has worn off hehe).

Well, mine still has the shrink, but its open and played. Haven't spun it enough really, just so much other good music and so little time.

This made me think of my daughter and if I gave her a toy and made her keep it in the box....
hahahaha
I have the mentality of a two year old when it comes to vinyl... I rip that sucker open and spin it right away.
