    I've seen it 3 times and from the ones I've seen, Hartford 2008. Something about being on the lawn that night, with the clouds out, and looking up at the dark sky as Mike plays his solo. Something magical about that one.

    From the versions I've heard, I really love Buenos Aires 2011 version.

    Looking forward to hearing the Brooklyn 2 and Hartford 2013 versions when they become available!

    There was one from the Japan run of shows in 2003 that was almost eight minutes long and had a great jam at the end.

    Immortality > Alive, Seattle 2000. I don't know if people knew it was coming or not, but it seems to be a great tension builder into the explosion that is Alive, played for the first time since the Europe tour.

    Adding my vote for Benaroya. Mike's solo takes it to a different plane.

    I actually listened to that one last night. The end jam is great, but I think the rest of the song sounds "tired", if that word makes sense.

    This question came up as my buddy and I were discussing the version we had just seen in Hartford. It was top notch for sure....I need to hear it again to see if it was as great as I remembered.

    Most of the songs on 2003 sound tired to me compared to the band 2006 and on. I'm not a big fan of the riot act tour.

    Wasn't there, but love the alternate version from Orpheum 1994
    This has always been my all time favorite version since I first heard it when the bootleg was released. I am currently listening to Hartford '08 as I'm typing because Immortality is by far my favorite PJ song. Vitalogy was the first PJ album I was allowed to buy and has always been my favorite album. I used to always relate this song to Kurt Cobain's death, but I'm sure a lot of teenagers did in the 90s. DAMN! McCready tears up the solo on the Hartford show! I still prefer the Orpheum alternate lyrics to any version I have heard. I love the way the lyrics developed but the alternate lyrics I personally relate to a lot and has very strange relation to some tragic events in my life. I had to edit this and add that the way the song was played on the Orpheum version (bass, riffs, etc.) is much better to me than the song ended up on the album. Still my favorite though!

    On a side note, Come Back is a song I see lots of fans relating to loss of a loved one, but I have always seen it as a love song. Inside Job is the song I have always related to a good friend I lost to suicide. Only other song that rivals Immortality as my favorite PJ song is Present Tense.
