    Can anyone upload the version from Melbourne 3-5-98? If I was home I would. If anyone has it and can upload it for people on this thread to download that would rock. It remains my favorite version almost 10 years later. It's up there with 9/11/98 and a few other gems mentioned on this thread.

    I love the version from Alpine Valley in East Troy Wisconsin on 06/21/2003. Has been one of my favorite songs since I randomly bought this boot in 2003.

    Besides the ones mentioned, another to check out is:

    Seattle 10/10/98, Crocodile Cafe

    From the recording, you can hear people just talking in the background, not necessarily paying attention to the band. But, by mid-song, the band is just on fire and completely takes over the club. Matt especially shines on this version.

    Berlin 1996..love the intro

    Bump.
    Listened to "Check Point Charlie" again for the first time in a while ... remember staying up till the wee morning in highschool to hear this broadcast (and tape it, lol) ...

    Got to Immortality and was FLOORED.

    Re affirmed my waning love for this song.

    :D

    The intro is to die for.

    If I opened it now would you not understand?

    bena or wembley07

    I was at Wembley, and the show is mostly a blur at this point, but I remember closing my eyes during Immortality and just thinking "Nothing beats this..." Anyone have mp3s from Wembley by any chance. Sucks they didn't release those shows.

    I love the outro from Seattle 2000.

    I have never heard the berlin 96 before - it´s great. Thanx
    Benaroya is my favorite version.
    Run away my son. See it all. Oh see the world.

    Adelaide I from 2006 was my favourite version, but i can't help but be biased and say that Wembley '07 is my favourite. Mike's solo is just mind-blowing, it's the best thing i've ever heard.

    i was at both of these shows. sensational versions. i started goin nuts when ed started the little intro at wembley. no one around seemed to recognise what was coming but that soon changed ;)

    i think i still prefer it when ed doesnt go up in pitch on "adhere", "door" etc though. nevertheless, one of my top 5 tracks. studio and live.
    Yeh I've seen Pearl Jam, too. But I can't remember the dates.

    where has this song been all my life?!?!? its played live so seldomly i never heard it live until recently, but WOW! I think it may be my favorite live song they play. Mike is INSANE on this song.

    whats the best one?

    I haven't leafed through the thread yet, but my favourite version of Immortality appears on a bootlegged Australia 1998 CD I got in England for 20 pounds. It's a fairly raw recording, but that only adds to the uniqueness of this version.

    I also love when Eddie plays a random riff and then bleeds it into the start of Immortality.

    ...Edit...wow, all I had to do was look up one post and there it is. Okay, I guess at least 2 people own this version...and both have that little skip near the beginning!
    Toronto '00, '02, '05, '06, '06, '09; Hamilton '05; Buffalo '10; TORONTO 2011 X 2!!
