Jonas Brothers bat a thousand with generous Wrigley Field helping of “Five Albums. One Night.”

The first time around would’ve easily been enough to cement the Jonas Brothers as one of the world’s most beloved acts, but after reuniting in 2019, the trio became even more colossal than before, now with over than 20 million album sales, billions of streams, three consecutive chart-topping debuts on the Billboard 200 and a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.

In fact, their ambitious 90-date tour into 2024 is already filling several iconic ballparks, including Wrigley Field, where for three generous hours, the fellas (pictured at Yankee Stadium’s opening night) explored five full albums totaling 60-plus songs as either complete versions or medleys.

Jonas Brothers“I dreamed about playing baseball on this field,” remarked Nick, who at one point wore a sleeveless 1989 Chicago Cubs shirt, though he quickly admitted the task at hand could actually be better, while those populating the front of the field to the back of the bleachers seemed to concur.

Joe and Kevin appeared equally in awe of the Friendly Confines, and together, they batted a thousand, backed by a tight ten-piece band, four additional singers, jumbo screens and a ramp to allow many intimate interactions along the way.

The new “Celebrate!,” off the Jon Bellion-produced “The Album,” set the mood for the entire journey, continuing with “What A Man Gotta Do,” then moving towards the Disney Channel days and the self-titled project’s pop/punk scream-a-longs “S.O.S” and “Year 3000.”

In fact, the intermingling of early to current material allowed fans to literally watch the Jonas Brothers blossom from the boys of “Camp Rock” wanting to “Play My Music,” an unexpected inclusion debuted on this date, into full grown men with families of their own.

It all reflected in a multi-generational audience just as hungry to hear lots of “A Little Bit Longer,” especially the flame-adorned rocker “Burnin’ Up” to close out part one, as the laid back infectiousness of “Waffle House” following an intermission.

“Lines, Vines And Trying Times” made for another giant step towards an introspective songwriting approach and sometimes country-flavored direction, followed by Nick’s solo groove “Jealous” and Joe’s confetti shower of DNCE’s “Cake By The Ocean.”

Jonas BrothersYet the “Happiness Begins” era was particularly pivotal, if only because it gave the guys a second wind collectively and behind the scenes, yielding a more mature but no less memorable sound to spark the smashes “Cool,” “Only Human” and “Sucker,” becoming the inaugural group in the 21st century to debut at #1 on the Hot 100.

“Leave Before You Love Me” wound up being last as fireworks illuminated the sky, which was an ideal symbol to articulate what it feels like having the Jonas Brothers back to breaking records and moving the stadium-sized masses.
