The Pearl Jam 2005 North American/Latin American Tour was a concert tour by the American rock band Pearl Jam.
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 on August 29, 2005 in Missoula, Montana at the University of Montana-Missoula's Adams Event Center for Democratic politician Jon Tester, then playing The Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington on September 1, 2005 before crossing into Canada. For its Canadian cross-country tour, the band stopped in cities where it had never played before such as Saskatoon, Quebec City, St. John's, and Halifax. Pearl Jam's performance of "Given to Fly" from Saskatoon was shown on the ReAct Now: Music & Relief benefit concert. After touring Canada, Pearl Jam proceeded to open a Rolling Stones concert on the band's A Bigger Bang Tour on September 28, 2005 in Pittsburgh at PNC Park, then played two shows at the Borgata casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, before closing the tour with a concert on October 3, 2005 in Philadelphia at the Wachovia Center. The song "Gone" from Pearl Jam's 2006 self-titled album was debuted in a solo performance by vocalist Eddie Vedder at Pearl Jam's October 1, 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, also featured Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin fame. The concert proceeds were donated to Habitat for Humanity, the American Red Cross and the Jazz Foundation of America.
