Trouble Remembering

I really wish I could remember the most significant moments of the gigs i've been to but they're a bit blurry now. I came out of last night's having just seen P up close and personal and bar what i filmed on my mobile at his final encore (i couldn't resist as it was my last one) i can't remember certain things like looks he gave etc.

Anyone else have this prob? I hope they release a DVD of these gigs for me to have some memories of...

I've normally 'forgotten' most of it by the time I get home! I think it's because - as psychological research will testify - in heightened emotional states, our memories go to pot (this is why eye witnesses to serious crimes are absolutely awful at remembering anything right). I can NEVER remember any of the concert - all a bit of a blur of me screaming, dancing, crying - oh and some music. The WILL release a DVD - even if we just all have to will it into being - he MUST! thumbs up!

know what you mean, I'm scared to look away for fear I miss anything but then after keep trying to remember things from night before, listening to the songs again helps, but yep I hope theres a DVD! smile

I always have that problem.
The two Prince gigs I got to go to were amongst the best of my life...and now the memories are fading fast....

I usually find I'm not too bad at remembering things about the shows. My friend keeps saying she's really surprised by the stuff I remember! I find I remember more of the shows that I've had a front row spot at than the ones where I've been up at the sides or on the floor further back.
The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it

Yep I have the same problem, everything seems like a dream when I try and think back thats why I feel (probably all of us feel! wink ) the need to keep going back for more, you can never have too much of a good thing! wink

Yep, I'm exactly the same. My brother on the other hand will tell you the opening and closing songs and everything in between of every concert he's been to. I've forgotten it by the next day. I wish I wouldn't, but I do dammit!

thats a very impressive answer and, of course, very true. never thought of it in that context before.
