Well , it took me a few day's to recover but I think it's time to comment on Martell's . First , as the social event of my season these shows are great . It's so nice to see all the " boarders " and folks I have met through the years . Sadly , it's my only chance this year to get together with CC , Forever Young , Linda , Lin , Tasha , Phyllis , Mike , Lisa , Anelli , Kathleen , and the incomparable SnafuJohn ! ( I apologize to the many I've missed . ) Were this merely a social gathering it would be superb , to have a show by the greatest band in the world thrown in , well ............. Thanks to all who could make the trip , if I missed you this year hopefully we'll get together next year . And thanks to SSJ&TAJ , " the reason for the season " it's always a blast !

Southside in The Bronx
Long before MTV discovered The Jersey Shore, Southside Johnny Lyons was one of the architects of The Jersey Sound. Almost four decades later, he’s going strong, as he proved in his recent visit with Dennis Elsas in Studio A. You can hear that on Thursday on Take Five and Words & Music from Studio A. And as a bonus, here’s a video of Southside Johnny performing.

Hi all,
Boarding House Park does have an alternative indoor site just down the street that they have used in inclement weather--last year my nephew and I went to see Eileen Ivers and the show was moved inside on short notice due to high winds.

My birthday show last night was fab to say the least. No problems getting there from NYC on time (thankfully, LOL!), parking or getting back into the building for the show. I was standing, errr I meant hopping, LOL slightly to the front of Joe P. by the soundboard and was ushered in "behind the ropes" into the soundboard area behind Joe P. somewhere 'round the 2/3 mark of the show by Pete, who greeted me warmly and extended himself on behalf of me. So I'd like to extend my very appreciative thank you's to Pete, Joe P., Hood and Jason of the SSJ crew for being all-so-nice to me on my special day/night.
Highlights were one of my two requests, Without Love (note to Miss October, I beleive you didn't include it on your set list...:-wink/smile), a very early-set placement for Walk Away Renee which was performed really really well, Nothing but a Heartache, Happy (birthday, lol!), Domino (WOW!) and the show-ending GTBABWH>Hearts of Stone. Not enough new stuff played for my tastes but I can only imagine how hard it is for SSJ & Kazee to pick which songs to play when...
As others have mentioned this was the SSJ&the Asbury Jukes impersonating a steam locomotive barreling down the tracks, a mostly high-energy show that barely left me room to breathe between songs. Great show, great sound and great neighbors 'round me who, thankfully, appreciated my enthusiasm for the boys and the kindness extended to me by the SSJ staff made it a birthday to remember. Wouldn't have wanted to have been anywhere else, thank you SSJ & the Jukes for bringing it on home once again...:-wink/smile. See you'all@BB's in October!
Peace,
Alex

I think Tasha's "woo hoo" quote says it all. Last night we got a fast-paced, high-energy (and highly sweaty) show that swept everyone along for the ride (IMHO, of course). Cadillac
Jack mixed in with Little Queenie was a highlight for me, too, and we got to hear a great extended story about Johnny and his uncle's red Cadillac convertible, which did not end well for either of them.
I won't be at the show on Friday, so we'll need a setlist volunteer, please. And let's not leave the band stuck for storm songs on Friday. I'm sure they've got the obvious ones by now (Rainy Days & Mondays, Stormy Monday, Windy), so I'll suggest "You Were Earlways on My Mind." Any more suggestions?
See you in Lowell. They're just predicting wind now, but if it's raining on the day of the show, please check the venue's website or call 978-970-5200 for indoor venue information.

Though the crowd was smaller than last night they were really into the Jukes. My requests weren't played to my knowledge but, maybe that was due to the Carolina Iced Tea that I was drinking. Got to see Anneli finally before she left. Great hanging with Chek, Dave, Janice, Tom, Tom, Carol. and Snafu. Next year we go with the distributor......naturally.

Whoo hoo! That was fun. A great show tonight -non stop fun. A fab setlist and a special guest but I will leave the details to Miss O. Last night I was back in the crowd drinking with my girlfriends and had a fine time, but musically tonight was much better. The horn section was particularly animated tonight. They could do a a Jukersize video. Although some of the interplay between Chris and the Dude was x-rated.
My highlights were Rhumba and Coke and Little Queenie. I laughed when the Lyon-Kazee brain trust couldn't come up with a storm song. Uhm...."Outside the storm was raging......". And for Friday might I suggest Duke of Earl? Hee hee.

I'm with celticchef on this one, rather killer setlist if you ask me. Fortunately, I know this band and their ability to pull multiple musical rabbits out of the musical hat is uncanny to say the least so though my heart sunk a wee bit after reading last night's setlist (thanks as always, Miss October, what would we do without you?...:-wink/smile) my love will Not Fade Away and I'm looking forward to tonight.
How 'bout Without Love and All Night Long (and, gasp, I'm So Anxious...:-wink) for my birthday tonight, Mr. SSJ? And more of the new stuff...isn't it great when one of your favorite artists is touring behind a great new album...I hope they are enjoying playing the new stuff as much as many among us are enjoying hearing it...:-smile
Well, now that I know that there is an opening act I can now breathe easier as to arriving on time for our boys set if not (hopefully) early enough to walk in for the opening act and get loose in all the appropiate ways...:-wink/big grin!
See you'all later...and thanks to all for the reviews. Keep 'em coming! And if anybody wants to say hello to me, I'll be in a black tye-dye with a star/heart doing the Dominican pogo-stick dance while the band is on stage, LOL!
Peace,
Alex

Interesting to read two totally different takes on last nights show. Being a die hard SSJ fan, (and new to posting on this web site) I've never been to a show that I didn't enjoy (mishaps and all). So I think I'll go with Carol's post.
Wish I could be there tonight. Everyone enjoy the show! Can't wait to read all about it and see the set list on tomorrow's posts.

Wish I could agree with the good reviews of last night's show, but that was one of the most disappointing Southside shows I've ever seen, and it wasn't because of the sound, which was fine from our vantage point. Something really seemed to be bothering South last night, whether it was his displeasure with the sound, a little too much from the black taped cup, or something else. To me, it influenced his performance, and interaction with the band and crew, and neither in a good way. I had brought along about a dozen people, several who had never seen the Jukes live, and several times I got the question "Is he always like this?". Hope everyone has a good time tonight.

The show last night at Martell's was different . The opening act was late, I guess because of the power failure which affected the shore area of Monmouth County. They played into SSJ's set-up time and from what we saw and heard---- the sound system wasn't up to par; especially Johnny's mic which was soft and drowned out by some of the instruments. . He kept asking if we could hear him. Joe P. had his hands full monitoring 2 sound boards and did remedy the situation for the last part of the show. Hopefully, tonight Joe P. will be in total command of the Martell's people manning the system.
The lead singer being the ultimate performer; made some choice comments --this show--because of the kinks was one not to be missed. One could see SSJ's frustration, -- he had a few sips from the taped cup as well as a Manhattan (?) complete with "rare cherry" to ease the pain. He even threw Jeff's shoe into the crowd. There were many unusual photo opportunities from this gig that will never be seen because of Martell's policy. One of the Juke family told us later that the show following one like this is usually flawless and fantastic. Only the ones who have seen SSJ and the Jukes many times would pick out the kinks--to the outside world-- it was the Jukes playing to a packed house and totally entertaining..

This was a wild show - the setlist didn't even last one song! Loud, too, but fun.
Interesting solos by "Shoeless" Jeff Kazee on Shake 'em Down (keyboards) and Born to Be Wild (cowbell). I think Southside tried playing the organ on that one, too. I'm glad everyone made it down despite the big power outage. We've got another beautiful beach day ahead of us and great weather predicted for tonight. Come on down!

Good morning, my fellow Jukes fans! It's my birthday today and I'm heading in from NYC after work to catch the only band that is TRULY qualified to serenade me on such a (tragic?!?!? LOL!) occasion. Couple of questions for the attendees of last night's show if I may: 1: Support act. Was there one or is it all SSJ all the time? 2. Regardless of the answer to question#1, what time did our boys hit the stage. Kinda important to me as I, unfortunately, have a rather small window of opportunity to arrive on time leaving work at 5:15p. 3. Did they leave any "goodies" to play for tonight? (The last question, obviously, is a joke...:-wink/smile!).
Hope you'all that attended last night's show had a great time and look forward to joining you'all that will be there tonight! Thanks!
Peace,

Good morning! We've got a beautiful beach day and great weather for Martell's tonight. Tomorrow, too! Hurricane Earl is not a Jukes fan, apparently, and is staying away till the end of the week.
So who saw this on the Emmy's last night? www.youtube.com You think Jimmy Fallon has seen a show or two? Just think what they could do with "Trapped Again." Shivers, chills, magic.
So does anybody know the deal with parking at Point Pleasant Beach this year? How far inland do the meters go, how late at night do you have to feed them? Should I bring quarters, a credit card, a kidney? Let us know!
Thanks,
Carol

My DVR stopped in the middle of Cadillac Jack (kids taping too many movies; no space left on the dvr). To that point, they played Shake 'em Down, IDWGH and Cadillac. The boys were really flying at that point. It felt like they still had another 15 minutes or so to play.
