    it's been a long time since i last gave it a spin, perhaps i'll turn it on (and turn it up) later.

    I'll have to give this a spin today...

    I've been meaning to ask, because I can't find info- does anyone know if there's multiple versions of the Mirrorball Vinyl? I see some ridiculous prices on ebay, and I got mine for like $12 a few years back (also on the bay...). Any clue?

    I'll third that. Love this song.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    Neil and Pearl Jam toured Europe together after Mirror Ball was released and played songs from the album.

    Neil plays songs from Mirror Ball at his shows (Throw Your Hatred Down at a show I was at). He played Act of Love with PJ when he showed up unannounced at the Toledo VFC show, and they also played Throw Your Hatred down together at the Bridge School benefit in 2006. PJ has played Throw Your Hatred Down at some of their shows since then. They've included Song X as a Daughter tag a few times over the years.

    pearl jam has played act of love before- though I think it's been awhile.

    I saw them play Act of Love at this, my 2nd show:

    02/06/95 – Moore Theater: Seattle, WA (Fan Club show) [100m]
    attendance: 1,400
    support act: Magnog
    set: Release, Last Exit, Spin the Black Circle, Tremor Christ, Not for You, Corduroy, Lukin, Dissident, Act of Love, Animal, State of Love and Trust, Daughter/(W.M.A) /(Stuff and Nonsense), Improv , Whipping, Immortality, Go
    enc 1: The Kids Are Alright, Porch, Jack Irons chant/Blood
    enc 2: Jam, Satan’s Bed, Rearviewmirror, Instrumental Jam
    enc 3: Act of Love
    notes: Free tickets were mailed to Ten Club members and PJ appeared as the “Piss Bottle Men.” A new song/improv (’The Price of Everything’ ?) is dedicated to Riz Rollins, a Seattle record store clerk and occasional funk DJ. Ed explains ‘Whipping’ as a song “… about getting hit in the face, turning your cheek and getting hit again. Come to think of it, all the songs are about that.” ‘The Kids Are Alright’ is solo by Ed, accompanying himself on guitar. Neil Young joins PJ in a surprise ‘Act of Love’ encore.
