Therapy needed for post-concert blues
Symptoms - introducing anecdotes about the concerts into all your converstaions to the bemusement and annoyance of everyone you talk to; a vague sense of loss that it's all over; waking up with a particular song in your head and having to play it on repeat all the way to work (this morning it was Gypsy, Stand Back yesterday...); trawling youtube obsessively looking for out-of-focus clips of the concert ; being permanently logged in to this site ; dreaming up outrageous schemes involving financial suicide and loss of employment to get to Australia for the next leg of the tour; and worst of all trying to ignore the nagging fear that I might have just seen them live for the last time.
:distress: I can't be the only one suffering from this - give me some therapy, Ledgies! |
You took the words right out fo my mouth sir!:laugh: I was just looking at flights a few minutes ago to New Zealand for those 2 shows. Unfortunately the cheapest airfare I could find was about $3,500US RT from Minneapolis where I live. Um, not gonna happen.:(:laugh:

you're not alone, i always get the mac blues after seeing them & not knowing when & if i'll see them again~

I was on a high for about a week. Now I'm off it. I'm saving the Youtube videos of the concert for a really bad moment....

I'm seriously suffering post concert blues. That was the first time I'd seen them live & it destroys me knowing I'm unlikely to see them again. I can't give my dissertation the attention it deserves!!

Airfare from NYC - Los Angeles - Brisbane - Auckland - NYC will be a little over $2500, which isn't cheap, but not horrendous, all things considered. Gah! If I can somehow get front section tickets for Brisbane and New Plymouth (and maybe even Perth?), I think I would seriously consider this... If nothing else, I have always wanted to visit down under, so I cannot think of a better excuse to go! Call me an adrenaline junkie... there's nothing better than feeling the rumble of the bass along the edge of the stage. :nod: It is an addiction that needs to be fed!

Well, if they aren't touring, you can always catch Mick's band doing Hawaiian-inspired covers of FM hits. :lol: But congrats on retirement! I should be so lucky... |

Its so funny reading all these comments i thought my friend and i were the only ones in deep depression! We saw them in Sheffield on monday night and have been hopelessly emotional ever since, even to the point of shedding a tear when leaving the Hotel carpark on tuesday morning the cd player kicked in with Monday Morning!. I've bored everyone i can find rigid with it, set myself up a playlist from youtube and hoping there will be a chance they'll tour the uk again. Next monday will probably be the "This time last week" scenario.
I wish you all well and i'm sure we'll get through it together!!!:) Take care all |
Remember, after the Say You Will tour a lot of people probably thought that was the end of the road for FM tours -- heck, it's been that way for years. So don't lose hope!

omg i always get so depressed after a fm show. i remember seeing them last march in pittsburgh on opening night and looking forward to that show for so long and once it was over i didnt know what to do with myself. i have found that if i make plans to do something fun a few days after the show or even the next week that it helps me get over the depression cuz i have something to look foward to. lol i am glad to know i am not the only one that went on youtube and looked for concert clips -ha ha!!
dont worry though it will get better in a few weeks time :) |
