Jason and Paul make a special trip to Seattle to celebrate Pearl Jam's Ten at 35. They host a panel discussion at the famed London Bridge Studio (where Ten was made) with its co-owner and producer Eric Lilavois. Pearl Jam is celebrating their debut record turning 35 by completely employing producer/engineer Josh Evans to remix their live performance of the record, front to back, from their 2016 concert in Philadelphia. That newly remixed performance of Ten in its entirety will be cut to vinyl by the legendary Levi Seitz...who also shares a few words. Then, the big surprise, Pearl Jam's lead guitarist Mike McCready joins the panel to talk about that show and recording Ten in the very room they - and 65 lucky fans - sit.
