When to see Bon Jovi in Edinburgh . OMG it was amazing. I have seen them before but it just sent me on such a high. I feel like I have been floating ever since. I can’t stop thinking about it. Looking up clips, day dreaming. I also get the feeling it may be the last time they tour.

My husband is finding it quite funny at the moment. I have been a fan since I was 8 (now 45)

has this ever happened to anyone else. I feel so silly I need to get my brain back in gear.

cold shower?
slapping myself?

any other ideas. Expecting some comments about how sad this is and how Bon Jovi is awful

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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).

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.
