Grepping the file into a variable after SSH into a server

Hi All,

When i am logged into a server , i am able to assign grep value to a variable as follows.
Code:
VAR=`grep 'Listener stopped' /logs/perf.log`

However, when i log out of the server, and try to execute the following command by first SSHing into server, it throws error.
Code:
$ VAR=`ssh Server grep 'Listener stopped' /logs/perf.log`
grep: stopped: No such file or directory

How to correct this?
