I saw the same tour. At Roosevelt Stadium in Bayonne.
PF played the whole album start to finish, with Meddle as the encore.
I went with a girl who was very cute and I thought, very straight. She kept up with me pretty well, tho...
Behind me was a guy way high on something. As the band played "Speak to me," the guy started complaining that, "If this was a Zeppelin concert, man, people would be screaming 'Turn it up, man!' Zeppelin fans wouldn't stand for it, man!"
Then "Breathe" came in at full volume, front and back, so your hair would be physically moving back and forth. And this was an outdoor venue.
Anyway, I never heard anything like it. And neither, apparently, did the dude behind me. When PF finished "Breathe," all the guy could say was, "Oh, wow, man."
One of the best concerts I ever went to.

That reminds me of a band I saw - Black Flag and Henry Rollins at their next to last performance before they split. I set my soda can on the bar, and the vibrations from the loud music were moving the can down the countertop, like an electric football game. I went outside the building and the exterior walls were creaking like the place was about to implode.
