    I'm not even in that picture by the time Pearl Jam hit the stage. I could barely make out the Video screens from where I was>LOL

    Still, GLAD I was there.
    How far back did everyone stand?  We were about 100 yards behind those 2nd speakers. Could see screens a bit.  Wish they had screens mid way back.  Was a blast though. Couldn’t have imagined better weather. 
    I'LL take a guess that I was about 250-300 yards away from the other stage. There may have been about 30-50 people people sprawled out behind me.

    We couldn't ask for a better weather night on the Shore in Mid-Sept.

    After last night I, with the rest of us, can hardly wait for the announcement for the make-up shows.

    If you zoom in on the lower left you can see that walkway along the snow fence.  On the ocean side they used it as a road.

    Okay this seems like a big crowd. I have Ohana Encore tickets and I’m a little worried about the experience. Was the sound decent farther back? Does anyone know the festival attendance comparison between SeaHearNow and Ohana? It doesn’t seem like Ohana’s set up is as long and narrow. Excited either way but kinda hoping for something a little smaller.

    I'm seeing estimates for 20,000 at Ohana each day in recent years. Seems accurate based on the photos from 2019.

    SHN had roughly 30k in attendance Saturday night. I left Sunday around 6:00 and it felt far less at that point. My brother works the event every year as a photographer. This year very few were allowed into pit to photograph the events due to restrictions, but he was able to get some sick shots regardless. 

    My experience… took an Uber over Saturday around 1:30. Security throughly checked my vax card and ID.  Even the date on card to be sure I was fully vaccinated.   We found our locker (well worth the $) and headed to rail to bring some friends some water.  By 2:00 we were able to walk right to them on rail. If we wanted a spot, we probably could have gotten about 3rd/4th  row, but I didn’t have it in me to stick it out all day and it was HOT up there. Loved the whole vibe of the day. The park tent had some awesome music and art. Hung there for a good chunk of day.  We ventured back down fo beach when Patti smith was finishing. Walked are way up until it started getting overly crowded and became work. Wasn’t going to piss anyone off who was waiting all day. Our spot was great!  Great sight lines especially since the stage is significantly higher than audience. I loved the show. I felt the set was well mixed new with old, hits with rock songs. The world felt normal for the day and that filled my soul. Just hope all stay healthy and we can do it again soon.  Here are a few cell phone pics I took from my spot

    Oh and after show was amazing! Tangier blues band is so much fun regardless of who the special guests are.  Nico Blue singing on change made the hair on my arms stand up. I do have a short video clip of the beginning for whoever was asking, but no clue on how to share it on here.

    I have to say that I was really impressed with this festival and would gladly go again next year with or without pj.  Definitely had a good vibe to it.

    I kind of feel the same way (especially since we had a hookup for a well-located house to stay at). In fact I’d be specifically interested in going if I wasn’t really hyped to see the headliner, so we could wander a bit more instead of having to defend a main stage spot. Part of me definitely wished that we were staying for yesterday, as the weather seemed even better and I knew the crowd would be much thinner, but alas we had to go get our kids.

    Yes!  My wife and I were saying the same thing.  Just stroll around checking everything out without caring too much about the headliner.

    I got there as soon as gates opened and was able to be at the rail. I have to say, it was a nice experience all around. I cried happy tears, I'm not ashamed to say.
