For what felt like an age they just stood there.
Back on stage in Paris and absorbing a euphoric welcome - right then the band confirmed what they already knew - it was the right decision to be there. Eagles of Death Metal were back.
Three months after their last concert in the city turned into a massacre, the Californian band were there to deliver on a promise - a celebration where they'd "leave it all at the front door".
And they did. All the baggage of overcoming a terror attack, all the grief, all the sorrow, all the guilt of being alive.
It has been a mad three months and every single survivor has dealt with it differently.
Some just couldn't face coming back - others who did had to take time out from the music to sit down somewhere quieter and absorb what was happening and just what it all meant to them.
Frontman Jesse Hughes thrived on wave after wave of energy from the crowd - a room "full of champions" he told them.
Never have I seen a man so empowered by his audience. As they belted out their songs fans surfed across the top of the mosh pit.
The gig wasn't worth much for musical purists - but it was for the people who were there on 13 November 2015 - the ones who made it out to carry on living.
After the show Cedric Rey told Sky News: "We feel great. We've turned the page on the attacks. We made it, that's it."
Another survivor of the Bataclan massacre, Lydia Berkennou, said: "I couldn't believe it, I'm so glad I could make it and I can't wait to do more."
