State of Love & Trust: A Pearl Jam Podcast
LP2EP: Riot Act
Jason and Paul revisit their latest series called LP2EP whereby they make hard choices and carefully distill each album into an EP. For the second installment their Patrons have chosen Riot Act. The guys also discuss the state of the band as it regards to their health after three concerts were cancelled and address the theory by a segment of the Pearl Jam fanbase that has suggested the shows were cancelled over ticket sales. Lastly Jason and Paul address the disheartening news that touring member Josh Klinghoffer accidentally struck and killed a pedestrian in Los Angeles and what music/touring ramifications that could have on Pearl Jam.
