The star-studded even took place at the storied Capitol Theatre in Port Chester
What do you do when you’re the CEO of a billion-dollar company?
Recruit a bunch of rockstars for an epic holiday party, of course.
On Thursday, December 11 at the storied Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York, Todd Boehly treated employees of his holdings firm Eldridge Industries to a holiday shindig they won’t soon forget. Slash headlined the show, and was joined by a ridiculous ensemble that included the likes of Anthony Kiedis and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam), Andrew Watt, Yungblud, Brandi Carlile, pop juggernaut Bruno Mars, and Slash’s Guns N’ Roses bandmate, Duff McKagan.

The revolving supergroup performed under the moniker The Dirty Bats.
The mainstays of the show were Slash on guitar, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, Guns N’ bassist Duff McKagan, and Andrew Watt on guitar. Yungblud kicked off the evening’s festivities, performing a covers of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” and The Rolling Stones’ hit “Start Me Up.” Brandi Carlile came out next, joining for Led Zeppelin’s “Black Dog” and her own song, “The Story.”
Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis came out for Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades” and “Search and Destroy” by Iggy and The Stooges. Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder took the stage for a longer stint which included Pearl Jam classics “Corduroy” and “Better Man,” plus a cover of Dead Boys’ “Sonic Reducer.” Then, he switched out with chart-topper Bruno Mars, who also performed five songs. His set included “Roxanne” by The Police, “Whole Lotta Love” by Led Zeppelin, and “Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana.
At the end of the night, the whole gang returned the stage for an all-star jam of Chuck Berry’s signature song “Johnny B. Goode” and the Neil Young anthem “Rockin’ In the Free World.”
Check out the complete setlist below, which is just as insane as the lineup.
