[@eddieraia2848]

I never comment but as stated, this was an invite only show from the Ten Club. I was 14, Cobain had just died and this was my first concert ever. And suddenly I find it on KZbin. I'm blown away. I'm 37 and this is a time machine. Very Moving.

It's why I think the studio version is different. They could never do this again.

[@EVILKIMMELSSP]

And I mean that as a positive. Something happens here that makes the band come closer.

[@lastfewtokes]

@EVILKIMMELSSP Band comes closer together besides the fact this was Dave A’s second to last show 😂 Little Eddie fired him for not being a depressed, whining activist.

[@shane34lv]

Daves drumming on hold on is perhaps the best piece of drum work I've ever heard, I like matts personality better, but its ludicrous to compare the two as drummers, dave was unbelievable.

[@johnc1280]

shane armendinger no question. he was the best to drum in PJ’s career. It’s f’d he didn’t get inducted in hall of fame with them

[@dylandenney3980]

Yea Dave is my fave PJ drummer as well. He wasn't a punk drummer but his drumming on Eddie's more punk songs like Whipping is epic.

[@dr.edwardvedder1992]

I agree. One of not many drummers that you can identify just by hearing. That snare sound on this is incredible.

[@KathleenBabcock]

I was here - caught all 3 shows. I was 22 and these 3 Boston shows were life changing for me. Curt Cobain had died this week and it was so heavy. This show still to this day is maybe my favorite ever been to 61 PJ shows.

[@bonezy09]

We all know Kurt was there with them that night. Just the atmosphere in that building was right. You can just feel the energy.

That's hauntingly beautiful

[@StONed-mb1iv]

The lighting is so little.... #trapdoorInTheSun

[@FulltimeDuddooScene]

no he wasn't... why do you people say things like this? eddie vedder is talking about himself and how people perceived him as compared to how he felt and his own past struggles and who he really is....song is NOT about Kurt Cobain...

[@0371998]

@@FulltimeDuddooScene The Ufo of Seattle are all linked deeply. The answers are fast to come in to the Ocean. You have to realise that in the lyrics, He is talking about a cigar box. ToM Moore cigar box. I think that the lyrics fit well with the murder against Cobain and obviously When you thinks more you can look further more, for all the others object of thought possible in USA and all around the world. You do the evolution and some others do the regression and maintain their Stalinism style..

[@Agent_Riot-2000]

I had no idea of this take on Immortality, and i really like it more than the official release. It's so dark, depressive (without being emo or such), it's like when you kind of give up caring about life itself (i went through that long ago), like you don't mind about anything else at all, but the present, the moment you are alive Today. I wonder if Eddie penned the lyrics influenced by the overall dark mood created by Kurt's passing, and how the whole thing around him was starting to crush his soul slowly. Quite interesting when you think about it 🍷🗿🚬

[@mookwilliams9934]

This is the first time this song was ever played live. 7 months before Vitalogy was released. Eddie obviously did not have the lyrics finished yet so he was freestyling a bit. Can still hear parts that were put into the final version.

Yeah he did that a fucking LOT

recorded this song in the studio, which is the version you hear on Vitalogy. This version has the lyrics coming from more of a first-person perspective, rather than a third-person perspective like the lyrics on the studio version of Immortality

I was at the show it was at the Boston Orpheum theater four nights after Cobain died. This was a fan club show tickets were by invite. They played a lot of bsides and covers. I also saw them the night before at the Boston Garden totally different short show more like a funeral for Kurt no one even thought they were going to come out. Both amazing shows.

[@virginiaknighten4687]

I’m in love with that concert! Happy for you to be there.

[@XxmmmhAwesomeXx]

Same. I don't think they suck now, I just think that the time period from 1993/1994- 2000 was when their best songs were written. They're getting older now, but there also much more mature. They're not the same 25 year olds anymore. This music was written because of their worries, insecurities, and opinions of that time. It's much different now. But yes I agree this music was more raw, true to themselves. Much more meaningful IMO. Plus I feel the instrumental parts very better then.

As great a it is overall, the SB audio is such a gift. In 94 recording devices didn’t have a mic capable of such beautiful audio. This is truly a gift. I love PJ to this day especially live but the final couple months of the Vs. tour is their crowning achievement. Played a lot of Vitalogy songs and most important the sweat covered beast in the back named Dave guided them. Dude listen…they’re so tight then.
