Jason and Paul celebrate the 35th anniversary of the lone Temple of the Dog record by reviewing it...retroactively. In the wake of Andrew Wood's death, Chris Cornell sought to mourn through music...writing music to honor his friend who'd died of a drug overdose. In doing so he convinced Wood's former Mother Love Bone bandmates, Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard, to help him flesh out and record the music along with Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron...and lead guitarist Mike McCeady (who'd been recently jamming with Ament and Gossard in a new project which would eventually become Pearl Jam). This is that record and this is our review of it...35 years later.

Jason and Paul celebrate Dark Matter at two years old by taking the record and completely changing the order of the songs! It's called a retracking and Pearl Jam's 12th album finally gets the treatment. Do the guys completely change it up...or make subtle tweaks? Plus, two old segments finally return. It's the Lyric and Live Cut of the Week -- Got to Give.

Jason and Paul welcome back photographer Geoff Whitman to the show to discuss his new book chronicalling Pearl Jam's Dark Matter World Tour. Whitman pulls back the curtain on life in the pit, the split-second decisions behind iconic shots, and the stories you didn’t see from one of the biggest tours in the world. React \ Respond is packed with raw, intimate moments that capture the band at full power. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to document a tour like this, this is as close as it gets.
