I just used this line as a joke (albeit bad one) at the recording studio I was in where much of No Code was actually recorded in Chicago (CRC). So I'm almost certain I know what the line is and the context. I figured that it was probably confusing for most, so I looked up to see what people thought and found this thread.

When a band is split up into separate isolation booths, the studio engineer has to make sure that their individual headphone monitors are working and mixed appropriately. It was most likely Stone's response to the engineers question about his levels.

Engineer: "how are the levels guys"
Stone: "Line one, mighty fine"
McCready (perhaps): "Line two, good"
Ament:......etc

Pearl Jam has kept accidental and erroneous stuff on other work they've done with Brendan O'Brien like the gunshot sound at the end of Brain of J from McCready dropping a guitar. During editing, little clips always end up landing in weird places. Sometimes you just leave it.

Nice. Always wondered about this and I’m happy to see an old thread with an explanation.

9.1.95 doesn't make all that much sense. That would have the band in New Orleans in early September, their last Neil Jam Euro show was Reading on August 27th.  The September 4 date run went Phoenix on 9.13, Las Cruces on 9.14, Austin on 9.16 and New Orleans on 9.17.  Makes much more sense that the sessions at Kings Way happened beginning 9.18.

I’ve been hearing “giant one, mighty fine.”
