    Credited to Pearl Jam, "Merkinball" is a companion to Neil Young's "Mirror Ball", two songs by Ed Vedder-- "I Got Id" and "Long Road", performed by Vedder accompanied by Neil Young, drummer Jack Irons, and either Brendan O'Brien ("I Got Id") or Jeff Ament ("Long Road") on bass. The two pieces, live favorites, are among the strongest songs ever written by Vedder.

    "I Got Id" is a grunge song, punky, noisy, and moody, with the sort of loud-soft motif that is so prevelent in grunge, beautifully conceived and full of brilliant noisy guitar and bass playing (check O'Brien's wiggly bass at the end of the piece-- amazing!). "Long Road" in many ways is the polar opposite, delicate, beating, beautiful. But what both songs share is intensity-- my comment on "Vitalogy" is that it worked best when Vedder was passionately behind it. He sits squarely behind both of these pieces, and they benefit from it.

    It's really a shame this one is getting harder to find, it is amongst the most essential material in the Pearl Jam catalog.

    CD came in excellent condition and seller included receipt with handwritten thank you note which was most appreciated. I have now completed my pearl jam collection as the song "long road" was the only track that had eluded me for years. I also own a plethora of pearl jam's official bootlegs and live albums but have been searching for this ep for years. I am one satisfied customer.

    This is a two track cd that came out with the release of Mirrorball by Neil Young. It's a good couple of tracks, solid as Pearl Jam typically is, Neil Young does the organ and a little bit of vocals. I only heard him singing at the very end of the second track.

    I had to buy this again because someone borrowed it and didn't return. That is heart-wrenching for such a frugal maggot as myself, but these tracks are worth the added expense.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An inspired move
    Reviewed in Canada on November 13, 2009
    Although only a single, it stands on its own and should be rereleased. Merkinball is an incredible disc, in truth as good if not better than anything on Mirrorball, the Pearl Jam / Neil Young album. Merkinball has a sound that is a perfect instance of how powerful Pearl Jam is musically, with a great singer and lyricist thrown in the mix. Time for a re,reissue!
