Is Immortality about Kurt Cobain?
In an interview with the LA times in Nov. 1994, Eddie has said that Immortality was not about Kurt Cobain. The song did have different lyrics when PJ started playing it during the spring 94 tour than the final version on Vitalogy. And yes during the Atlanta 4/3/94 show (the live broadcast one) Eddie did mention that he hoped Kurt was ok. (This was the period after KC’s overdose in Rome and when he was missing) Sadly enough, Kurt Cobain died a few days after this broadcast.

The song did have different lyrics when Pearl Jam started playing it during the spring ’94 tour than the final version on Vitalogy. And yes during the Atlanta April 03, 1994 show Eddie did mention that he hoped Kurt was ok. Eddie also dedicated “Go” to Kurt (this was the period after Kurt Cobain’s overdose in Rome when he was missing). Sadly enough, Kurt Cobain died a few days after this broadcast.
