The Asbury Park show was awesome! Considering how much I hated the TA show in Newark last year (because I hate the album), it could only go up. But, it was truly a great show. My wife and I were in Row C on JM's side. Was so glad to get To Live Forever instead of Don't Look Past Me. It was definitely a pleasant surprise. As for the timing of UAGM, it was the first 2-3 lines of the first verse. He realized he was a beat or so ahead of everyone else and made the adjustment.
And, as for the phones, the staff was all over anyone trying to take a video. I asked before the show started what the policy was. Initially, I was told only "no video". Then, I was told "no video, no photos". When the second set started, I finally decided to take a few pictures because they were letting everyone get away with pictures. I got a JP pick at the end of the show, too.
Did I mis-hear James, or at the end of the show, did he say "we'll see you in '19" with a new album and tour? I know JP has his G3 tour early next year.
