This episode is a tribute to friend of the Pearl Jam community, Tom Pugh. Tom founded a charitable organization called Given To Live which sent fans who have faced challenges in their lives to get a full experience of seeing their favorite artist live. He worked tirelessly to accomplish his life's mission and impacted the lives of so many people deserving of a special moment. Tom passed away this past weekend unexpectedly.

Tom always used the saying "Because You Matter" referring to the fans who benefitted from his philanthropy. Because of the efforts that he made in creating a life time of memories for so many families, his life is one that truly mattered. Please enjoy our tribute to his life and work.
