OT: Neil Young "Downtown" w/ Pearl Jam

Great song almost never mentioned from Neil's 1995 album, "Mirrorball" with Pearl Jam (sans Eddie Vedder for most of the album).

Anyone else fancy this song?

Oh yeah. Great track.

Highlight of that 'Mirrorball' album though is 'I'm The Ocean'.

Neil's best song of the 90s.

Yeh - love this one. Really like that riff they go into after the chorus a couple of times. Verging on AC/DC (which is no bad thing).

Really like that album as a whole actually.

Saw this on VH1 when I was 15 and it introduced me to the wonderful world of Neil x

One of the last great Neil albums -- the end of that great run of 90s records.

It is at that. I forgot about it until now. It got some good airplay back then and I loved cranking it.

MIRROR BALL fans should not overlook the ep MERKIN BALL -- it's from the MIRROR BALL sessions, Neil w/Pearl Jam, but has Vedder on vocals.

I too love Mirrorball, although Downtown was never one of my favourite tracks.

I'm the Ocean on the other hand is one of Neils greatest songs,'90s or otherwise

"Scenery" ain't bad either. The 1995 live versions which often lasted 18 minutes were a bit sterile but the studio cut is one of "Mirror Ball"'s gems (imo).
