He schedules the solo tours specifically so that he can let out all of his pent up frustration that accumulates from PJ tours. Ed can't just spew out his hatred from his Napoleonic desire to control everyone and everything at Stone anymore. And Dave A isnt around for him to turn the whole Real World house against anymore either. All that hatred Ed's storing up theses days gotta get let out somewhere. Ricky Ramone got a little taste of it. Ed was like, finally a day where I can just shit on someone without consequence.

So Ed finally gets his solo show, which he knows will be full of assholes, he fires out the same boring version of "No More", the hecklers come out of the woodwork, and then it's all clear for pissy pants Ed therapy time.

And what better place to let out some steam after a lengthy US Tour than Australia, which has the single highest concentration of assholes on the planet? Practically guarantees the whole "show" will consist of arguments between Ed and some dufus that Ed gets into a shitfit with; and gets to leave victorious with the moral high ground of "you interrupted me" every time. What an injustice.

A few doobies and a male bath house later and its back to bono's yacht to sail back to hawaii where he writes his next batch of songs about whatever comes to mind that day.

I'd say Ed is pretty on for these shows and not much of a dick. He tells alot of stories which are actually pretty cool. For the msot part, the crowds are great except for a few. There are some flubs and fucks ups, but for the most part his show has evolved quite much. In 2011, when he played down under. He played more then 70 different tracks over 12 or 13 dates.

I think he put alot more emotion and effort into these then he did pearl jam shows in 2011 and 2012. And for record purposes, No More really wasn't played after his 2008 solo tour. I think if your going to bash his solo shows, you really need to have heard and understood them before making comments on them, but that's just my two cents.

Me: So Eddie Vedder's doing a solo tour after the run of BDO shows.....
Mrs LMS: Oh, is that so?
Me: Yeah. He's playing the State and Opera House in
Mrs LMS: No. Not happening.
Me: I thought maybe a night out before the next kid is born, just before our anniversary, maybe
Mrs LMS: Are you fucking kidding me?
Me: Yeah I'm not even that convinced I want to go.
