Great music, great crowd, great venue
by Mazlow on 9/8/23Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater - WantaghCame early, expecting a big parking lot party - but there wasn't one where we parked. Maybe we missed it? The crowd was wonderful - everybody happy. No idiots... but then this is a "smoking"crowd so how could we be anything but fun?!?!? I'm now a huge 'The Movement' fan because of this concert. I liked 1 or 2 of their songs previously but now I'd love to see them again. 'Sublime' BLEW THE ROOF off the place (if there was a roof). Rome is the perfect addition and sound was great. Continuing the dog-on-stage [even though Lou is no longer with us. :-( ] is fun a tradition. I'd see them as headliners. I've been SO psyched to see Slightly Stoopid since I bought these tix and they didn't disappoint. What was a bit "off"was Miles' microphone... we could barely hear him. Not sure why - had no trouble hearing vocals for the previous bands. I thought the encore wasn't the best, though. We pay all this money to see/hear THIS band. I don't want to hear them cover others in an encore. They have SO many songs they could have played, but did the Beastie Boys instead - THAT was a big disappointment. I used to see Broadway-esk plays at Jones Beach as a kid. I know that stuff doesn't make the money that these concerts do so I understand the venue had to adapt. I miss the water between the stage and the seats though. The "experience"area (food, merch) outside the seating area is great. Food was pretty good too - but don't raise the prices anymore... already at the peak of what the public is willing to pay.
