WRIGLEYVILLE — One fan at Pearl Jam's Monday night concert at Wrigley Field learned the hard way to "Mind Your Manners" after singer Eddie Vedder abruptly stopped performing to kick out the unruly fan out.

Not long after starting the song "Lukin," Vedder asked the band to stop playing and pointed at a male fan not far from the stage who he thought was harassing a woman near him in the crowd. 

"Hey mister, get your finger out of that woman's face motherfff ... all the fingers are pointing at you," Vedder told the man. "Come on, clear out mister."

As the man left, other members of Pearl Jam and fans across the stadium shouted and waved him Chicago-style goodbyes.

"Ma'am you're OK?" Vedder asked the woman in the crowd, and then he praised another man that was with her. "That's a good man taking care of your woman, and then she was taking care of herself pretty good, too, it looked like."

The band then finished "Lukin" and continued the concert with "Mind Your Manners."
