We couldn't use the name Pearl Jam at that time because of the record company. Couldn't be NYPJ. We couldn't even use the art that we had, but I'm going try and sneak it out. It's been 30 years, they probably won't care.
EMEK did the artwork, btw.
Correct. And only 10 of the original Emek artwork posters were printed, if I'm not mistaken. No that's not a typo. 10 total!
I went to a TRPS show around 15 or 20 years ago and Emek brought either an original poster or the original artwork. It was absolutely stunning in person.
Currently on a zoom with Neil and he had this to say.
Any updates on Mirrorball Live and any memories of working with Pearl Jam?
(some paraphrasing)
It was great, we had a wonderful time together. Jack Irons was on drums. Jeff on bass, Stone, Mike. Neil blanked on Brendan O'Brien and had to look it up. It was cool. Eddie wasn't there, but we had a great time. The record is finished as is the film. It'll be out in '23. I almost said 1923. Yeah.. it'll be out before the depression.
The video is GREAT. I can't wait for everyone to see it. It's a cool video and we're really rocking. Mostly songs from Mirrorball. A cool bunch of songs and we really did them great.

When they talk about a movie, what are we expecting? Is it the recording process of the album mixed with live footage from the tour? Is the RDS show being released in full?

Q: Can you recall your first session and show with Pearl Jam?
A: The first official session was the Merkinball sessions, and those were part of the Mirrorball sessions, I do believe. The first show was a Bridge School Show, and I played a Djembe – not that well – with a shaker taped to my shoe. I was pretty nervous. I think Pearl Jam was ready for some experimenting at the time, so it felt right to have me come aboard.
Q: Mirror Ball is one of my favorite records of all time. How did the project initially get off the ground?
A: Neil [Young] and Pearl Jam had done some playing together prior to my joining. That extended into Pearl Jam working with him again for a concert when I first joined, and from that show came the opportunity to record with him. The recordings were done spontaneously and quickly, with Neil letting us do our thing with the tunes he wrote for those sessions. It was a great experience as I had always been a big fan of his music.
Been wanting that shirt, but never pulled the trigger on it. It's a small discount, but went ahead and did it. Now just waiting on 2023 for the live Mirror Ball release!
I’m assuming it’s gonna be like most sets he’s put out in the last 2 years. Stand alone CD, Vinyl and later DVD or Blu ray. But also a deluxe set with all 3.
It’s gonna be a very popular set given that they’ll be bringing in another passionate fanbase. I’m assuming they’ll go all out.

It was forwards first. And PJs boring record label said NO Then they had it backwards (like in the image) but the boring record label was not fooled and still said NO
And it ended up:

I believe it's the RDS concert released in full.
