Moe came back to Asbury Park and melted some faces off! It has been some time since the Buffalo based jam legends have played the Stone Pony, but they came back last night and ripped it up. They are currently touring on their All Roads Runaround Tour with Blues Traveler and G Love and Special Sauce. Both Moe and Blues Traveler had their own single sets of music and a special third set which was formed of members of both bands.
The combined set which came right after Blues Traveler and before Moe was a great mix of both bands amazing talent. Watching John Popper shred a harmonica to pieces, mixed with Rob Derhak’s bass lines, and Al Schnier on Mandolin was an amazing experience. You can absolutely tell that you are watching a group of old friends have a great time together on stage. It was nothing but big smiles on everyone’s faces especially when G Love came out for a great sing along of the Grateful Dead’s Casey Jones that got the crowd grooving!
After a brief set break Moe came back out for their set which included songs from their thirty-year catalogue. Some of the set’s highlights included a driving version of Downward Facing Dog which also showcased the bands phenomenal lighting rig which lit up the skies of Asbury Park. Some other classics included great versions of Kyle’s Song, Kids, and a killer encore of Wind It Up. Overall it was a great night of music at the Stone Pony with Moe, Blues Traveler, and G Love. Come back and visit again soon!
