I was there & the concert was ok.
The fireworks were really nice. They did give out Superbowl ear warmers & handwarmers which were pretty cool. It was really slippery standing there watching the concert on frozen snow/ice. There was def more security there than spectators. Maybe if this got more promotion, more people would of attended.

So I wonder who grab all the tickets??? They were gone in a couple hours after being announced mid-day by Mayor's Office.

That's funny, it was cold on the Paulus Hook side... could not take pictures without gloves for more than a couple minutes if that... can't imagine standing on ice on the concert side.

Yes indeed. Like all the folks who were SHOCKED -- shocked! -- to discover how much of the Snooki & J-WOWW thing was scripted.

As someone who used to work in film production I always get a chuckle when I see newbies get a peek "behind the curtain".

JC and the City Government had nothing to do with this event happening here at all. Macy's put it on and its a state park so they basically just secured the park and did it. I don't think any of our officials were event there. I was there as a volunteer. It was kinda sad that the weather made the turnout so terrible, but its to be expected. And they didn't publicize this to locals enough at all.

Because it looked good on TV. This wasn't a concert designed for the people attending it, but for the people watching in cozy living rooms. (It *did* look good, to be honest. And it was nice to see the CRRNJ Terminal all lit up.) But the audience is just part of the set for stuff like this. The bands don't even play during the commercial breaks. I'm glad we went, even though it was coooooooold. The fireworks were beautiful.

Who thought it would be a good idea to have a concert on a windswept waterfront tundra in January? This is a great example of the kind of thing that sounds great in a committee meeting. Which is why I hate committee meetings.

They were apparently expecting 7,000, I'd say by the end there were a little over 1.000 people. It was just way too cold.

On the news it looked like maybe 200 people were there. They should have called it Valley Forge II.

from TV, it looked like Goo Goo Dolls were lip syncing or singing over pre-recorded music. I did hear them soundchecking/or pre-recording the music on all day Sunday from my apt.

We kind of figured that, but why did they get introduced again, before they played the video of them playing? So they played live, and then their performance was played to the audience a second time? That seems weird.

by tommyc_37 on 2014/1/28 10:26:52 They played earlier at around 7:15 and it was recorded. I think it had to do with timing around the 1 hour live spot. This way they only had to do two equipment switches during the show.

What the heck happened with the Goo Goo Dolls? When Joe Buck announced them, they just played a video recording of the Goo Goo Dolls performing.

You're a more resilient man than me, I lasted about 90 minutes b4 my toes couldn't take it anymore. That sheet of ice we were standing on was just freezing right through my boots!

The music performances were kind of lackluster but The Fray put on the best performance.
It was pretty damn cold standing on ice watching for 2 hours but worth it for the fireworks. Overall, it was put together well. (Except for Erin Andrews calling it New Jersey City)

Macey's / NFL did a great job... very good show but it was cold on the Morris Canal. Music sounded good, wish I had a ticket.

Anyone catch the fireworks that ended around 20 min ago? They were in front of the WTC. I hear fireworks occasionally but this was a huge display that lasted around 30 min, I guess for the football players?
