My 21 mainshow/21 Indigo marathon!

YaY!!! I did it! Successfully completed the entire thing. i always wanted to do every single performance/show/aftershow on a tour and i am so glad that I can now look back and think "did I really, really see all 21+21 Earth Tour" shows and aftershows"?

Just to satisfy my curiosity did anyone else attend every single show and aftershow? It dosent count if you had a ticket, walked into the building but didn't bother going to the main show because you wanted to get a place at the front of the line for the Indigo razz

I must be mad lol but it's been worth it! Every bit of it, including the long hrs on the road, the times when i went over 50 hrs without sleep and the times I had to go straight into work after a long road trip after the Indigo aftershows. Totally CRAAAAZZZZZYYYYY but I'd do it all again.

Big love and respect to my great, great friend George cool for doing all the driving. Bless you. You are one in a million biggrin

No regrets biggrin

Now for the post tour depression sad

wow, this is an incredible achievement. I got to 7 main shows and 4 aftershows but 21 + 21 is the business. i would also love for you to rank the shows from 1-21 and aftershows also, in your own good time smile

I met 2 people last night that had done all 21 nights...One was an irish guy who was wearing a black suit and the other was a popeye sort of looking guy with a black t-shirt on last night saying that he had been to them all..Dedication! I wish I'd have done it now...
honesty is the best policy...

i heard from indigo staff that this gig is cancelled... they said checked the website....
which because i am only just home around two hours from actually coming home from the aftershow.... i'm still catching up on ORG, i haven't been on the O2 website.
but two security chiefs said it was cancelled.

booo hooooo bawl

Respect to you onecrush. I did more than I ever expected with a tally of 12 and 9. I think the 12 mains was too many really but apart from the 18th Augugst I had a great time at all of them. Got 7 Prince appearances at my 9 aftershows, so really can't grumble at that.

It feels so weird now that it's all over.
RIP sad

No. I'm not Scottish. (I'm from the other end of the UK, Dorset). That guy would be the orger fan Unique, who is from the land of Jocks. He did do virtually all of the Indigo aftershows and pretty much most of the main shows.

If you're reading this, Unique, it was nice meeting you and chatting with you etc.

Wierd. Yes. I think it will definitely feel strange over the next week or so. It's like the last 7 weeks I've got into a kind of 'groundhog day' routine, you know what I mean?

What is really strange is that over the last 7 weeks, or 21 nights, I have only got rained on once[b] eek on the long walk from the retail park (Odeon cinema/B&Q) to the O2 and back to said car park after the Indigo shows. It's almost spooky wierd, that, especially considering the amount of rainfall we had in June/July.
