    Theres something about Immortality that never gets old. Or, maybe it gets better with time? I dont know but I must say this: the line toward the end of it that says "all good truants MUST DEcide" is effin FANTASTIC. The solo that The Master breaks down is beautiful. I could listen to this song on repeat for an hour strait and not get tired of it. Lovely thread! :D

    Immortality is one of few pj songs that really has atmosphere.. It is dark & heavy, they managed to put some real weight into it and the lyrics fit the mood perfectly. Pearl Jam really nailed this one in the studio.

    Immortality is definately up there among the best!

    Hard for me to pick a top song, I've always gravitated toward Corduroy, but Immortality has done nothing but grown on me since it's initial release. LOVE it. Definitely one of their best ever, and Mike's on fire in that song. Great abstract Ed lyrics, too.

    I agree with that too. I've been really into that song recently, especially. Been listening to the Atlanta '94 and New Year's Eve '92 performances a lot. Again, great song that Mike just owns. I wasn't into the reworked version they were playing the past few years...have they gone back to playing it the original way again?

    I listened to Immortality after my mom's funeral 2 weeks ago and I finally got the line "Victims in demand for public show" PJ have REALLY helped me get on through this difficult time..

    Great list! I'll add the searing version from Crocodile Cafe 10/10/98. Matt just tears it up on this one.

    Easily one of the top five songs they've ever written. It gets no radio play and no recognition as being a masterpiece or anything yet i find this to be...a perfect song. The lyrics are hauntingly beautiful, great melody with lots of punch to it...and then there's the guitar work. The best part tho is this song live has a completely different feel but in a great way. mike always does a great job with the solos.



    ....i would have to add the version from alpine in 2003 to that list above.

    I haven't heard those two show's but I imagine its similar to what I experienced at the '92 and '93 shows. I also haven't heard it played recently, not to say that haven't played it, just wasn't on my radar. Curious to hear the '92 New Years and '94 Atl shows.

    Do you think it lost attention being the last track on such an explosive record?

    Everything this dude said. Plus I was utterly pissed off that after doing 12 shows this tour, didn't get to hear it one fucking time! It's a good thing I heard it live during previous tours more than once :)

    They played it on the 12th too, and that had different lyrics again. Fucking incredible song. In my top 3 to hear live, hopefully sooner than later

    My personal favourite is Solier Field, mostly because of mikes solo. He hits some sweet notes!

    There is one from the South American Tour from 2005. Can't remember which country but the MASTER's solo there is out of this world too!

    Chris, I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. You'll hear it next tour :D
