This was by far the best I have ever seen Kenny. The music was great. The crowd loved him.except for one guy...and the paradise offered a. Up close personal feeling. My daughter and I loved the experience.

Amazing. Just amazing. The first bands weren't that great, but The Starting Line made up for that when they came on

10 years since Say it Like You Mean it was released. They played EVERY song from the album just like they had the night before in Asbury Park and the 26th at the Electric Factory before that. EPIC as always. I've seen TSL at least 30 times between small shows, to headlining, and to possibly their best performance ever (best I ever saw) on the Drive Thru Stage at Warped Tour 2003 in Asbury Park, NJ (http://youtu.be/j9m292Is94s)

This was my 5th time seeing The Starting Line over the last few years, and as always they were amazing. Their sound is great live, and the concert was a great time. The lead singer Kenny is always entertaining to listen to when he chats in between songs. I've seen many of my favorite bands live, but none of them are ever as fantastic as TSL, they never let me down.

The Starting Line played an awesome set with the perfect mix of older and newer songs including their brand new song "Luck." I wish there were more shows like this at Starland Ballroom in Sayerville, NJ.

What a great show! The Starting Line gathers up the guys and head back to Jersey for a show that had crowd members singing along to favorites and dancing through the whole set. Most songs in the set came off of TSL's "Based on a True Story" and "Direction," although a few "Say It Like You Mean It" classics were sprinkled in. Kenny and the guys had the crowd wrapped around their fingers, soaking up every word and filling that TSL void we've been nursing while the band was on hiatus. An awesome way to spend a Friday night with old friends and to celebrate TSL's upcoming release of their EP's on vinyl. Jersey loved having The Starting Line back again!

The show was sold out, and for good reasons! Hit the Lights was great, and starting line was unforgettable. They played as if they never left, and they looked like they were having so much fun on stage. They even played a new song during their encore, and it was so good! They played a lot of their older songs, ones that i love. If Starting Line starts doing more shows, i would HIGHLY recommend going!

The Starting Line never fails to deliver. As my favorite band, I received everything I expected and more. Just can't wait to see them do this full time.

After a 1.5 year "break" the guys from starting line sounded like they have been secretly practicing this whole time. They didn't miss a beat at all. With a mixture of old and new songs they really know how to put on a show getting the crowd involved in all the songs. They also let out a tid bit of info that they plan on doing a few of these style "reunion" shows in the coming months. I highly suggest checking it out whether you have been a fan since the begining or you just started listening to them: it will be worth it.

This show was totally worth me flying up to Philadelphia from Florida to see. I've been to numerous shows and this one rates at the top. If you have a chance definately go see them live you WON'T be dissappointed!

This was the first time that I got to see The Starting Line live and it was well worth the 2 1/2 hours wait that I stood in the 20-30* weather.

It's been almost two years since The Starting Line has played together and they regrouped to do their holiday show for the 29th which sold out fast. So fast they added another date for the 30th. Due to the overwhelming fan response The Starting Line has announced they are back together and will be continuing to play the music which their fans enjoy so much. Their show on the 30th was no disappointment to anyone. They played an awesome set just like they always do!

GREAT show as always. Saw them for the 7th time last night and they never disappoint! I've seen them play a longer/more diverse set but it's still a great time seeing them. Will definitely be at their next show. GET BACK TOGETHER FOR GOOD!

The Starting Line NEVER puts on a bad show and this is another instances of that. Hit The lights wasn't great because they sounded horrible. It seems like they didn't tune their guitars well. But great freaking show!!!

I have seen The Starting Line many, many times. This wasn't my favorite of their shows, but it was still a good one. The energy of the crowd was great, which always affects the band. I can't wait, and I'm sure every other fan can't either, for TSL to come back with more shows and more music.

10 years since this album and 4+ years since actively touring and you'd never know it the way The Starting Line played. The venue is better than it was back then, as smoking was prohibited.

I am so glad I finally got to see the starting line. I showed up an hour early and almost died from waiting outside because it was about 25 degrees out but it was so worth it because I got to stand in the very front against the barrier. My inner 14 year old died of excitement. The only problem I had was that they closed the bathroom off to the public so we had to go to the bar across the street.

This was one of the best shows I have ever seen and I have seen my fair share. A few days later I am still replaying the show in my head and smiling awkwardly to myself. I wish that it never ended.

great great show! TSL still sounds amazing after all these years. The music was super tight and Kenny's vocals were as good as they have ever been! They played almost all of the hits and their energy was great.

I felt like I was in highschool again watching one of my all time favorite bands playing nothing but songs from an album that was a big part of my past. So happy I went and cannot wait to see them again! The opening acts were also very good. I now have two more bands to listen to that are pretty damn good

One of the best shows I've ever been to in my lifetime. The 5 month wait in between when I first bought tickets to the actual show date was well worth the wait! Hearing one of my all-time favorite albums being played from start to finish was something special and something to behold. You've had to been there to understand the magnitude of what went down that night. Simply unforgettable night that I'll remember for years to come!

Doors at 7pm and it wasnt that crowded that was nice and The Starting Line is great live and always fun to watch. The one downside to this show was the 3 opening bands were not that good and they played for WAYYY to long, it was past 10pm before Kenny even came on stage. I pay to see the headliner not the other guys, so who wants to wait there for 3 hours before they come on stage?

I was so amped and after who I was going with changed 3 times, I must say the night was great! Perfect atmosphere and great room. Everything sounded great and couldn't have had more fun. Getting to see my favorite song of all time live years later made my year! Will be back to HOB again!

This show was a 10-year anniversary for Say It Like You Mean It. Not only was the music incredible (as always), but the band was still full of life and energy -- even if they've aged and gained hella weight (said with love). Super sucky part: Everyone knows crowd surfing is not allowed at the HOB, Sunset. Duh. There's nowhere for anyone to go. There isn't a railing, there front isn't packed with security guards, it's just open (wood) space. So, if you're going to crowd surf, beware of the after effects.... like falling on your head on the wood floors. Unfortunately, someone did and was knocked unconscious or something, so the band had to take like a 25 minute pause, which was somewhat annoying. Overall, the anniversary show was just as great as the other anniversary shows like NFG and TBS.

I was a huge starting line fan in high school. "Say it like you mean it" was one of my favorite albums. This show was everything 15 year old me wanted and more!! I couldn't stop smiling before, during or after the show. It's always great to see bands with such high energy! I think I'm still on a concert high! If you get the opportunity to see them on this tour, they won't disappoint!
