Saw Prince for the first time on Friday 3rd. This was quite simply the best and most exciting concert I have ever attended.

No other band or performer will come close now so I see no point in going to any other concerts by other artists as it just won't be the same.

Also, I've been on a bit of a downer since Friday as everything around me seems mundane and dull...TV...food...beer...

Thank you Prince for a wonderful memory but it shines so bright and hard in my mind that it eclipses everything else in my life.

I feel sorry for other celeb "artists" who may be attending the O2 shows as surely they feel like packing up and not bothering with music afterwards?

Boy, do I feel that. I've been on a post-awesomePrinceGig-downer as well. Nothing else is exciting anymore.

...except the thought of going again, this Saturday..and the following Tuesday!!!

I know the feeling!! I have been finding it tough 2 come back down 2 earth, ever since last Saturday!! Not only because of being able 2 see Prince in concert again, but also, because my Platonic guy freind has gone back 2 Toronto 2 work!! We both had a crazy weekend which i wouldnt have missed for the world!!

I know how you feel Gazza. I've been waiting years to go to a Prince gig and went to the Friday 3rd one too.

Cheapest train tickets from oop north here were 92 quid return so I decided to drive down to London. Everything was going great until we were told that the M1 was closed between junction 7 and 6a. Cue 3 hour diversion from junction 11 through St Albans at a crawl to pick up the M25 back down to the M1 again. When we eventually got through the M1 was empty due to the closure! Anyway by the time I parked up and got to our digs just after 7pm we only had a brief chance to freshen up before getting back out fot the tube. Got off the tube at North Greenwich just after 8:30 and had a chance for a quick pint before the gig started.

I believe that the closure also had a knock on effect on the M10 and the A1(M) which both had accidents and severe delays as a result. Did anyone else have difficulty driving into London from the north that day?

Found out the the M1 ended up backed up to junction 11 and only opened again at around 6.30 so it could have been worse, we could have missed the gig and then I would have been pissed.

Prince's performance more than made up for all the frustration though and when we got back on the Saturday we booked more tickets for the Wednesday 12 September gig. Made sure I got 25 quid return tickets on the train though

OH my god.
SO GLAD OTHER PEOPLE FEEL THE SAME.
i FEEL LIKE I HAVE HAD A HOLIDAY ROMANCE THAT I HAVE LEFT BEHIND.
i AM SERIOUSLY DEPRESSED. ALMOST WISH I HADNT GONE, OR HAD GONE LATER SO I AM NOT CONSTANTLY WISHING I WAS THERE.
IT IS SO WIERD AS I AM NOT A SADDO USUALLY.
WISH I HAD NOTHING GOING ON IN MY LIFE SO I COULD NIP DOWN FROM SCOTLAND AND STAY FOR ENTIRE RUN.
HOW CAN MUSIC AND ONE PERSON WHO MAKES THE MOST PERFECT MUSIC MAKE U FEEL THAT WAY?
HE MUST BE AN ANGEL...LOL
LOVE HIM
X

i went on the 3rd aswell and feel the same
so i am putting myself through it all again on the 1st september
imagine what a downer i'll be on then.
the things we do for Prince .

I thought I was mad, I was thinking whats the matter with me I've seen him, my dream has come true now I know thankyou people it helps to know I'm not alone.
My boyf who is not a Prince fan spent most of the night with his arms folded and has told me that no way will he be going again, but then he told I was welcome to travel to London on my own wohooooo!

Boyf?!?! was it a 3some after the aftershow

But I know what everyone means, Ive been on a downer ever since, thats the reason Ive just booked the hotel and train to do it all again on the 21st

Feel sorry for me! I've got to go to V Festival the week after Nothing will compare!

Do you think theres a helpline for this?

Funny 2 see that I'm not the only 1....I know this feeling since more than 20 years. pp around me don't understand me. Really consoling, that others feel the same. There's no healing, believe me. Glad 2 know, it's not mortal

synthiarose04 said:

Dunno why you're down...you got plenty didn't you?

GazzaBloom said:

I'm so jealous...meeting a gil like you would be a dream come true!

GazzaBloom said:

Maybe she wants more?

Yep I've got that now and I'm going on Sat but higher block, last sat closer seats and great aftershow, I just want to be back at aftershow looking at that hat Watching vids kinda makes you happy realising who you just saw

lol thought I'd add this I'm listening to 7 as I'm typing on this thread 'no one in the whole universe will ever compare' too right!

I been on a downer too! Seen him 3 times now (3rd, 11th, 17th Aug). Last concert I was on the O2 floor, words cannot describe !

Now I have to wait until the 16th Sep for my next dose of funk. I also got tickets for the final night

Maybe she wants more? [/quote]

I always want more, right now I want more tickets

Wish my wife would believe me, that I feel I need to go again..also went on the 3rd.

I agree. It's a horrible feeling to think you might never get another chance to see him. It does feel like a dream when you see him so close. I go to sleep at night hoping I'll dream about him, just so I can relive it again! No such luck yet. I'm just trying to consider myself very lucky to have seen him at all. Enjoy the rest of the shows, all of you who are going, and moaners stop moaning.

My boyfriend says there should be health warnings with these tickets ! 'May cause unexplainable symptons of depression and anxiety'

I'm actually sort of kinda depressed..it's been more
than 10 days..& there's just no way I can fly back..
The Idea that there's more shows & aftershows..& a
possibility 2 actually get tickets..it's killin me

The funk seizures have stopped tho...

YEAH!!! our Prince is a phenomenom.

what a aftershow last sat.what a vibe,what a groove,what a FUNK.

i´m on the clouds....

I was on a terrible downer after the first time I saw Prince in Wembley Stadium many years ago, on the journey home afterwards I was like a hyperactive child but the next day was awful and it lasted days. I can fully sympathise because he leaves me feeling the same everytime, luckily I have two more dates to look forward to.

i was like that with ONA....sheer and utter joy and then sheer and utter depression.
