Review: Slightly Stoopid Satiates Fan's Desires at The Stone Pony as Part of NJ's North To Shore Festival - Photos and Video

By Shane Curry

I've been to a lot of concerts, probably more than most people my age, and undeniably this concert was one of the best I’ve ever been to. The sound was amazing, the sunset was amazing and the lasers were mesmerizing. 

Everybody in the crowd was there to soak in the music of this band and the setting sun only added to the special feeling of the show, which took place in the cool, beachy town of Asbury Park NJ. The concert, at the iconic Stone Pony, was part of the North to Shore Festival sponsored by Prudential. The Stone Pony is a tremendous venue for any band. You can feel the history in it.
