I often forget that I can hear Jack Irons drumming with Pearl Jam on not just No Code and Yield, but Mirrorball too.

Jack on Mirror Ball is the best drumming Pearl Jam has ever had.

He’s a positive addition to every song on No Code. That’s an amazing achievement considering at the time he was the newest member of the greatest band on earth… However, the best moments on Mirror Ball are Jack Irons and Neil Young, and mostly, they are Jack Irons.

I actually meant to type Mirrorball. I agree Jeff is great on that record. Didn’t he say he was really sick while recording it? The whole band is great but Jack steals it.
I wonder what other parts of the album were intended for Ed to sing if not for his absence during recording. The chorus of Song X seems like it was for EV.

On Throw Your Hatred Down I hear Stone left and NY right.
Jeff, Jack and NY vox in middle and piano creeps in seamlessly each time.
Maybe Mike is mixed-in or overdubbed for solo from :19 - :25 but I think that’s Stone too.
The next 3 solos are NY on right side.
This is one Pearl Jam’s best songs, ever.

Are there overdubs on Mirrorball?

not sure if they are. Im sure there are some but who knows.

Song X, Act Of Love, Im The Ocean, Peace and Love, Downtown are my favorite before Throw, but yeah its a damn good song.

I was so happy when PJ began to played it.
