I actually would see shows closer to you if possible. Holmdel is nice and I disagree about the stage being set far back. I had second row for SYW and leaned on the stage they entire time. Stevie and Lindsey were right there. Stevie was very ill so she was not too into the audience but Lindsey? He was playing right in front of us and I put my hand on his boot the entire time he played his Come solo. **swoon* Damn the memories.
It is a nice venue but in North Jersey. Sometimes, depending on what other shows are booked it could be considered a NY show and industry people be there. I imagine they will play JOnes Beach or some other NYC venue but if not, this could be the show where lots of suits attend.
Other random thoughts about the place. I really like the set up. The stage was low and I am short so that rocked. Security was fantastic and did not bother us once. There was a roof over the seats in case of rain, unlike Jones Beach, where we and the band were rained on most of the night.
Parking was expensive if you wanted to be close. Free if you wanted to park far away and catch a bus. Yup, a bus. like a schoolbus. They pick you up and drive you up to the entrance which was different. It is also easy to find if you are travelling, it is directly off of the parkway. Overall, it was one of my favorite shows...the venue being a small part of why.
