Not letting me edit, but Asbury Park, NJ is I guess a bit northern/middle-ish part of the whole Jersey Shore area of New Jersey, so it’s not that long of a non-driving/non local commuter (dozen or so stops) train) trip to the heart of New York City.

So the Foo Fighters booked a gig on May 19th to be the Saturday night headline for Jon Bon Jovi’s Bamboozle festival (ALL DAY event) on the Asbury Park boardwalk.

Months later Dave gets a call saying Mick Jagger wants him to help out on his appearance on SNL. You DO NOT turn down a request like that from literal rock royalty!

Then he realized he just double booked himself! So they do the concert in Asbury, then took a helicopter over to mid-town Manhattan to do their musical cameo with Mick and others!
