    I remember vividly the very first two times I heard this song. First was when they played it first live for the first time in San Jose Spartan Stadium...Nov 4 1995. That was one of my lifes best days.

    Then a few weeks or months after that I am listening to the radio and they play it. I tuned in like a freak and listened like I was gonna win a million bucks or something. I immediately called the station and asked about a song I thought might be called "Walk the Line" That song was heavy and impactful. Can't believe 15 years later im still in love with it and talking about it. It's easily still one of my favorites.

    I'll always sorta remember I got Id as "Walk the Line"

    I'd love to hear them play it live with Neil someday. I remember reading that Mike didn't like playing it because he could never hit the solo like Neil. For someone like Mike to admit he can't pull it off tells you just how great Neil is.[/quote]

    Forgive me my ignorance, but on the studio recording is it Neil playing the solo? I went to have a look, and then realised I only own it on vinyl, which has no info about the musicianship.

    I fully agree with this song having it's own thread - I remember vividly getting it on CD single when it came out, and being completely swept away by both it and Long Road. Just beautiful, classic tracks. That also go off, especially I Got Shit, perhaps that's one of it's strengths, it has the ability to calm me down or amp me up....

    They first played it live on February 21, 1995 in Osaka, Japan.

    Yes. The performers on the studio version are Ed (vocals, guitar), Neil (lead guitar), Brendan O'Brien (bass), and Jack Irons (drums).

    Studio by far!!!!!!!!
    Conversations getting dull
    There's a constant ringing in my ears
    Sense of humor's void and numb
    And I'm bored to tears.......

    I had a long road trip and I listened to this and "Long Road" numerous times on that trip. It ended up going super fast!

    You guys already hit on everything I was gonna say about Neil's solo work. His solo on this song is just transcendant. Mind-blowing stuff.

    This song is a real gem. Absolutely love it.

    Eddie sure had some balls singing this song in 08. That line "never got to hold my only bribe" probably had him sleeping on the couch.

    Now that I think about it, this is easily my favorite PJ song. There is just something about it that is so perfect. And the emotional tone is just flawless.

    This is my first pick for songs I have to hear at one of the live shows. The studio version is absolutely amazing. But I would love to see it live in person.

    Isn't it funny how this release was even a "Pearl Jam" single? I mean, it's only Ed and Jack, who at that point had only been in the band a few months, + Brendan and Neil. I always found that interesting. Those 4 should get back together and record an album - it would probably be one of the most kick-ass records ever!

    I remember a friend taped a live show off the radio for me, I think in '98, Pearl Jam live from Melbourne aired on JJJ radio. As I was listening to it live I was feeling mighty depressed because my parents hadn't let me go see them play on that tour, and that song just stood out to me. I just about wore the tape out listening to it and that song in particular I could listen to over and over again. Still the best version I have ever heard since.

    Ya know I'm glad you brought this up. I too always found this funny, yet strange. Mainly, because the idea for "merkinball" was technically to acompany the Mirrorball record which all pj members played on. (Did Brenden O Brien produce that record??). Anyhow the album came out with only Neil's name on the cover due to a record label refusal of including Pearl jam's name even though they were the backing band for the record. I actually forgot that Merkinball was just Ed and Jack of pj, yet it came out as a Pearl jam b side disc single.
    I also think that it would be amazing if Neil Ed, Brenden, and Jack made a record together like a full length disc, that would be amazing I'm sure. :D

    Right, but the performers on Long Road are Ed, Neil, Jeff, and Jack, so that's a little closer to the Pearl Jam line-up at the time.

    Brendan produced Mirror Ball, but Brett Eliason produced Merkin Ball.
