NEW YORK (Billboard) - Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder relied on little more than his voice and guitar during the third show of his summer solo tour in New York on Monday.  His performance at the United Palace Theatre boasted 28 tracks filled with obscure PearlJam songs, covers and material from his "Into the Wild" soundtrack. Early on, Vedder showed his appreciation for the attentive (and non-shouting audience), joking, "We left all the a--holes behind in Boston," where the tour began on Friday.

Well I’m not the biggest Pearl Jam fan of all time but what a cocksucker this Eddie Vedder character is huh?   So a bunch of drunken Massholes were yelling out “Yellow Ledbetter!!  YELLOW LEDBETTER!!” every 10 seconds.  I mean what did he think was going to happen if he didn't play "Yellow Ledbetter"?  Remember, Boston fans booed Ted Williams, I don’t think some hippie from Seattle is exempt.  Plus, this is a prime example of why I won’t pay more than $5 to see an aging rock star.  I got free tickets to Springsteen on Saturday at Gillette, and granted parking was $40 and our seats were in the top row of the upper deck (stoner seats), but at least the Boss didn't call us "assholes" and all the cougars got to dance to "Rosalita".
