This guy is a total ass hole who missed the whole point of the show. I mean what exactly is he saying in this first paragraph. Arc was awesome and after enjoying Liam Finn so much sounded even cooler

Toward the end of Eddie Vedder’s one-man concert at the United Palace on Tuesday, he gave the crowd something funny-awful, something he knew it would hate: a demonstration track that was factory-programmed into a Boss loop sampler, the digital machine he would use later to layer his vocals. It was an instrumental R&B slow jam — obviously slick and canned compared with the chest-bellow folk-rock Mr. Vedder had been putting forth.

this is the "first bad review" that ed toasted last night in newark. he had a little rant about it that people mentioned in the newark fanview thread... talking about how the guy thought he was righteous and brooding but that was nothing compared to some nights. that led to the talk about how he was tough with his mother effing ukelele.
