[edit] History
After taking a break from recording its eighth studio album, the band embarked on a Canadian cross-country tour in September 2005, kicking off the tour with a fundraising concert in Missoula, Montana for Democratic politician Jon Tester, then playing the Gorge Amphitheater before crossing into Canada. For its Canadian cross-country tour, the band stopped in cities such as Saskatoon, Quebec City, St. John's, and Halifax, where it had never played before. After touring Canada, Pearl Jam proceeded to open a Rolling Stones concert in Pittsburgh, then played two shows at the Borgata casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, before closing the tour with a concert in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The song "Gone" from Pearl Jam's 2006 self-titled album was debuted in a solo performance by Eddie Vedder at Pearl Jam's October 2005 concert in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Pearl Jam also played a benefit concert to raise money for Hurricane Katrina relief. The concert, which took place October 5, 2005, at the House of Blues in Chicago, Illinois, also featured Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin fame.
On November 22, 2005, Pearl Jam kicked off its first Latin American tour.[1] The tour began with two shows in Santiago, Chile, two in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and five in Brazil (Porto Alegre, Curitiba, two shows in São Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro). The band finished off 2005 with three shows in Mexico (Monterrey and two shows in Mexico City). Mudhoney, one of the few other remaining bands of the Seattle grunge era, opened for Pearl Jam throughout this tour. During the tour, Vedder emphasized how much he missed Johnny Ramone, his friend and guitarist of The Ramones who died in 2004. As a tribute to Johnny, the band played the Ramones' song "I Believe In Miracles" at every show on the tour, including a performance with Marky Ramone behind the drum kit at the Porto Alegre show.
The official bootlegs for the band's 2005 shows were distributed via Pearl Jam's website in MP3 form. The music downloads were accompanied by pictures from individual shows. The band's show at The Gorge Amphitheatre was released as part of the Live at the Gorge 05/06 box set.
