To need to being myself down off this high (not drugs)- from a concert

I saw Bon Jovi tonight at Wembley. Cried my way through it. I’ve seen them four times but this was a farewell..

Husband was like “wtf” but the lovely French man beside me was content to cry along with me for hours. It’s amazing to be conscious of one of the best moments of your life and be able to take it in. Bliss ✨ and also.. how good does JBJ look?

Unreal night at Wembley.

Bon Jovi wouldn't do it for me but why would you want to bring yourself down from this?

The only 'sad' thing about your post is that you seem to view this feeling as a negative! Why not be inspired by it and aim to find this level of joy more often?

You might not achieve it but surely thats better than succumbing to the dreary and mundane and accepting that as your 'normal'?

(For clarity, I aim for joy).

We had an amazing time! I was emotional to be able to share it with my DD 🥰 her first rock concert!

Me too! So excited! It’ll be my 7th time seeing them live, never disappoint.

OP I’d enjoy it. Even lean into it. Listen to the music, watch the interviews. The documentary on Disney + is very good (if you haven’t already watched it!). You’ll come down when you’re ready.

I managed to meet my favourite band at a film premier party in London in 2024. It's in the top 5 of the best things that have happened in my life, haha.
I still pinch myself that I met them and still can't believe my luck.
I've seen Bon Jovi several times so I get it, just enjoy the high!

Enjoy it, that's what you pay for.

My biggest post concert high was Taylor Swift at the Eras tour, I only went because my daughter was a Swiftie but she was phenomenal. The whole Swiftie community is something else.
It's not just the gig it's the whole day, we spent hours outside Wembley beforehand surrounded by the most wonderful community of fans, even the police were trading bracelets and had big smiles on their faces.

Just Enjoy it. New Jersey came out when I was 12 and is still an absolute favourite of mine.

What a lovely thread!

My last post-gig high was Nick Cave... 😍

I’m so glad you mentioned this . I get this high from musicals . I just love them and am the happiest person in the world when I see them !!! I go to far too many . I think I’m addicted to the high 🙈

You would be very unreasonable to bring yourself down! Enjoy the fun feeling and eke it out for as long as possible. I met my teenage hero/crush/beloved last year - never in my life did I think I ever would! - and I was buzzing for days. Was so wired I couldn’t sleep and kept thinking about him. But I’m over it now. 😁

Oh I love a concert high! I watch reels of the concert, listen to it all again on Spotify, join the FB concert groups....its a strong high for me and higher when they are favourites for 20-30 years! I cried with joy at a couple of concerts!

This. Enjoy it OP!

Seeing Bon Jovi on Friday and plan on riding the high as long as possible!!

I was like this after Coldplay and we are going to see Bon jovi on Friday. Really looking forward to it now.

I felt like this after being fortunate enough to watch prince play to an extremely small audience. Took me days to come down off that purple cloud. 😍

It happened to me seeing Coldplay at Wembley last year! (And yes, thank you, I’m aware that some people hate them!)

I felt like I was floating on a cloud for days, reminiscing about specific songs and, like you, watching clips. Banging on to anyone who would listen about how it was one of the best nights of my life!

It gradually faded but I agree with others, enjoy it while it lasts, these moments are fleeting.

I think it’s normal after a concert. If you go on instagram there’s usually loads of fans posting videos and stuff and reliving it over and over!

The post-gig high is a precious thing.

We all need more of it!

Always take a couple of days to come down after a gig. I’m 61 spoke to my 86 yr old aunt a few weeks ago she said it takes her a week to get back to normal after a holiday I’m inclined to agree with her. We went to London For the weekend 2 weeks ago for sight seeing and Jesus Christ Superstar took me nearly a week to get over that

Just enjoy it, Jon Bon is gorgeous. Lucky you.
I was the same after seeing George Michael live a couple of decades ago. High as a kite for weeks. Still watch the concert on YouTube and remember every amazing moment.

Enjoy it and don't try to come down.
(I can still summon up the ecstatic thrills from gigs I was at in the late ‘70s! It all stays with you if you let it)

Enjoy the feeling it won’t last forever. I am a huge fan too.

I would say, just enjoy it
It’s great when that happens!

I was a fan of theirs from a similar age! Glad you had such a good time.
