I can't recall if Adam Ant had ever played in New Jersey during the last 30 years. Adam Ant and Adam & The Ants were a regular fixture on MTV when I was in High School. I loved the Epic sound of his music and had always wished I was able to see him.
Luckily this summer his Anthems Tour came to the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park this past weekend. The show was great.
He sounded much better than I had expected. He never seemed to have the strongest voice in the concert clips I had seen. His band was tight, heavy on guitar and drums, as expected.
The setlist was pretty much split between his solo work and his catalog from Adam and The Ants.
Here is the setlist.
