This song always eludes me! It was scratched in Philly and I was heartbroken. I was ecstatic when I saw stone on bass!! Encore 2 was one of the best that I can remember.

Yeah. Feeling post partum show depression myself.

Us fans help with the show. We feed on each other and the band feeds on us. I spent much of my show actively engaging the people around my seating area, or wherever I went during the show, to sing. We shook that stadium.

The post show depression is real. In recent years, I'm either one or the other:

"I have tickets for an upcoming Pearl Jam Show" or
"I don't have any Pearl Jam tickets right now"

Currently I'm in the latter category. The depression hasn't set in yet, because I'm still riding the high from the weekend, but I'll come down soon. (TOTD in Philly will help stave off that depression, but come mid-November I'll be scouring the 2017 Tour Rumors thread looking for any glimmer of hope)

RE: Crowd & Band energy:

Sunday night was a night where you can't tell who's feeding off of whom more. The only other time I saw something comparable was Hartford '13. In that bootleg you can hear Eddie say "This isn't normal" and he wasn't just paying lip service...... Something special happened that night between the band & the audience, and it happened again at Fenway on Sunday. It's hard to describe, but anyone who was at either of those shows knows what I'm talking about.

My wife has been going to shows with me for the past 15 years. And she's seen some doozies (all 3 Mansfields in 03, MSG 03, Hartford 13). For the most part, she is just happy to be there. She knows most of the songs, but really just enjoys the atmosphere and seeing friends that we haven't seen in a long time. She rarely, if ever, will singalong or move/dance in place during a show.

Sunday night, she was swaying back and forth, hopping up and down, and even singing (yelling even)! Fist pumping and all that. She nearly tackled me when Footsteps started. I said to her on the ride home that I had never seen her act like that at a show. And I loved it! She said she didn't quite know what it was, but the whole feeling of being there, in that stadium, surrounded by thousands of people feeling the same, just made her so happy that she couldn't help but get into it.

I want do to it again so bad next summer

Awesome! We were front row and the energy flowing thru the park came like tidal waves to the stage, it was unreal! My wife probably punched and slapped me from excitement about 389 times! It was so great!

What section?

Yes!! It still makes me smile and gives little chills when I hear him say that and "like fucking south america" on that bootleg. Felt the same at Fenway 2!

Love that part of the Hartford '13 show too! I was lucky enough to be at that one and at Fenway night 2. Wasn't on the field, but had great seats right behind 3rd base dugout camera pit. Energy was fantastic in our section (70) and was really, really impressed with the sound. Big props to the sound/stage crew! Any consensus on how the broadcast sounded? I don't have Sirius.
