Eddie and the Beacon

I hope he plays 'Middle aged libertarian behind an accoustic guitar in a classic venue....'

Eddie Vedder is going on a short solo tour this summer playing quaint awesome little venues like The Beacon in NYC. Those that know me well are very aware of my love for Pearl Jam and frontman Eddie Vedder, but few know that The Beacon is the top venue on my bucket list for concert going. Really all the places on this summer's tour are cool (detroit being closest sadly to me) and to see Ed solo and 'unplugged' would be super cool. Unfortunately, Uncle Sam/reality/or even dr. Hypocracity have befallen the great grundge leader of the 90's. The tickets before the KY jelly of modern concert going (fees and surcharges) are 70-90 bucks depending on the venue. Maybe ticketmaster made Ed "an offer he couldnt refuse"!! Can't imagine anyones wife enjoying a horsehead in the bed when they woke up. Well, if anyone hits the lottery and needs someone to man the rear view mirror - call me. If not i'm sure I can get the concert on dvd when comes put. Remember money isnt king, but apparently harder to say no to than even PJ can handle. See rerelease of vitogy and vs album last month, not much new or rare for the money, unlike last years reissue of Ten with the unplugged performance. Still best band in world, but greedy just like everyone else who enjoys providing for their famlies.
