I do think it's great seeing how much passion and drive both Rich and Josh are bringing to the shows, and it's clearly impacting on the other guys too.
I love Matt, but I've never felt like he's really connecting with the songs in that way.
I think the band looks just as excited about playing as they always have.
These two drummers definitely propel the songs in way they haven't been with Matt but I think you're overstating the connection and excitement Jeff and stone have

are you working for a gossip column? these takes are terrible. the band is probably excited b/c someone filled in for matt cameron and it didn't ruin the show.

Why on earth would a band play in Fresno?
Saw them in Fresno in 2000. Absolutely fantastic show.
I was at the show in 2000 as well. Eddie had a cold, and cracked a joke or two about it. Solid show overall.
In response to the more rhetorical question... Having grown up in California's central valley, there are usually 3 reasons a band plays Fresno:
1. If there are a few days between shows in Northern and Southern California... Or if there's an available venue, it's a good way to pick up a show. I think this was probably the case in 2000 with PJ... The show was added pretty late and the date wasn't even on the tour poster (the one with the Binaural cover). The bulk of this PJ leg are makeup shows, with Fresno being one of a handful of added shows.
2. It is the first stop of a tour..Fresno is a solid place to test out a new show/setup etc... Metallica started their 1996 tour in Fresno.
3. At least in the old days .... Bands that got a tone of airplay, etc, would usually show up to Fresno, but I don't know what metrics they go by now..I'm sure streaming services can see where bands are doing well, and radio certainly plays it's role still, in sure.
Well, there's some insight you didn't necessarily want. Haha
