Saw this and love it. Go Blues!
More than 270,000 on the beach for the show.
This is how the NY Daily News mentioned it:

I guess it can be "spun" in a couple ways, but the truth of the matter is that they do double sneak the fans at land based shows as part of the routine...one from the side and one from behind right over the crowd in quick succession. The side pass is easily that close in all shows to the crowd line. Legally, water does not constitute a populated area so they can pretty much whatever they want over it. Here's a shot from the end of the pier. If the wind was from the water that day, it would have blown the wake turbulence right over the beach. Regardless of all that it was cool stuff. I doubt there was anybody there who got freaked out in a bad way by it...
He was over water.
This was a picture I took at the homecoming show in '08 of #5 doing the same maneuver just under the sound barrier. No further away.

Want to go to the homecoming show this year in NOv... GREAT spot for the show with plenty of room for everybody.
I'm moving at the end of the year, so I'm going to see them at NAS Pensacola as often as I can.
You can see your own private show on many Tuesdays during the season. It's a lot of fun, but you have to be at the museum really early. There is info on both the blue's site and the museum's site.
Also announced here in forum a few months ago... Great road trip from here for a day or two.
That is what is was referencing Will. It's an easy drive, and not nearly as packed after all the tourists go home.
