Downloaded 12/12/12 today and almost leaped for joy listening to Comfortably Numb (rather loudly) and being blown away by how great it all was...I was there and just wanted to bottle the moment. You can hear when Roger stops singing to kiss EV...happy memories Ed can definitely pull of Pink Floyd.
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”

I'm still having that reaction. So good!
"Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse...of my innocense, got back my inner sence, baby got it...still got it"
My manager, who's probably in her late 50's and who had never listened to Pearl Jam (but called me an "old soul" because I listen to them haha), sent me a text when he was performing saying "Wow, he is incredible. Sounds fantastic. Very impressed." A few days later, she goes on youtube and plays the performance, blasting it in our department. She claimed it was for me but she was glued to the screen
I sense a new fan coming aboard
This band, and even sometimes just Ed, sucks you into their vortex.
"Now YOU listen. When we are on this ship, you are to refer to me as 'Idiot' not 'You Captain'!"

These 5 words have now changed the course of history twice!
Unbelievable!
It sounds like they manufactured crowd noise in the background of some of these tracks. It is like the crowd is cheering every second of the songs.
not sure what tracks you're talking about....
but we watched it live.....
you could hear the crowd get VERY loud when Ed started singing.....and it matches up with the iTunes release.
This song was the highlight of the entire 4 hours. As soon as Ed opened his mouth, the crowd totally erupted! The sax player standing behind Ed couldn't stop grinning. The other poor singer was probably seething with jealousy. And I bet Roger Waters made Ed a job offer immediately afterward.

4 hours? The show clocked in at 6 hours 1 minutes & 21 seconds. :P
It doesn't sound like there was much editing or mixing / mastering on the iTunes release. I hope for the CD release the audio mix is a little better. And yes you can hear a lot of background screaming & fan noise during the Ed track. There wasn't that much on the HDTV broadcast, but that part when Ed started his first note, the crowd's cheer just blew the fucking roof off.
I felt tears come to my eyes when Ed started the first note and the crowded cheered-it was very emotional for me! Did anyone else have this reaction? The whole song absolutely blew me away!

Um yeah...I stopped watching after about 4 hours, and even that felt more like 44 hours! :?

Absolutely! The symbolism of the moment gets to me every time. The voice of my music generation was representing me/us (fans)... on the biggest stage on earth. Watching members of Pearl Jam have the admiration of the greatest musicians that ever lived ... validates my instincts and loyalty since 1992. Not that i'd think any different without it. But I was raised by a family who swore and still swear by The Beatles, Stones, The Who, Zepplin and everything else that is considered classic.
When they see their music hero's adore mine ... it's pretty cool.

Was listening to show today and realized that Alicia Keys immediately followed both the Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney during the show. Wow, she had to feel pretty honored to do that. Probably a little nervous too.
Also realized Adam Sandler sang more at the show than Eddie Vedder. Bummer. No offense to Sandler who did a great job.
