GagaSkeletonWay 2,073 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hey guys! Well, 2 days ago I attended my first Lady Gaga concert which was also my first "big" show in years. I was super excited for it since weeks before and, obviously, when I entered the venue my excitement grew to unimaginable levels. The show was everything I expected and more, I couldn't be more happy to have seen Gaga since I had been waiting for 8 years. The music, the lights, the environment, her voice, everything was perfect. However the day after the show I felt so sad but not like "Ohh I'll have to wait a few more years to see her again", I was deeply sad, in fact I hadn't been that sad in a very long time. And then I started to think about the night before and it all felt surreal, like a dream, like I had never been there. The show seemed to last 20 minutes (I guess this happened to everyone) and I started to feel like I didn't enjoy it 100% and I still feel like that, somehow I expected this show to have a bigger impact on me but all I can think about is regretting I didn't enjoy it like I was supposed to. I know it might not make a lot of sense but I really want to know if you guys felt like this after one of her shows. I sometimes think I was so excited that I really didn't process what was happening those 2 hours but I'm kind of disappointed, not with the show since it was AMAZING, but with me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to offend anyone, 'cause I know what it's like to wait for years and not be able to go I'm not complaining, I just don't get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magneto 13,296 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I know exactly how you feel. artRAVE was the best concert/party/night of my life. It felt like a surreal dream and it was a completely sober high that no alcohol or drug could ever mimic. I was also kinda depressed after, because I knew that it would be long before I got to see Gaga again, but mainly because it would take a long time before I would ever have such an amazing night!

Liza 613 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 All that anticipation leading up to the concert, and then suddenly it's over. It's not uncommon I don't think. Post-concert depression some people call it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerfectGUY 7,822 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 OMGGGGGGGG I've been trying to explain that feeling for soooo long !!! Happened to me with artRAVE Like ARTPOP is my favourite album and I was soooo excited. The show was perfect. But still I felt like I didn't enjoy it It's so weiirrddddd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oriane 19,826 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I haven't seen her in concert yet but I understand this feeling, it often happens to me, when I live big and important things. All the time all I can think is "I have to enjoy it because it will be over at one point" and then when it's over, I feel sad and I know that I won't experience this again for a long time. You popped my heart seams, all my bubble dreams Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modern Ecstacy 3,848 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I believe its called post concert depression. Never been to a Gaga show (or any other show for that matter) but I feel like I'm someone who would most likely suffer from it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes think I was so excited that I really didn't process what was happening those 2 hours but I'm kind of disappointed, not with the show since it was AMAZING, but with me I attended the same concert and I feel like that too!! Omg, you just described my feelings precisely... I was so in shock that I wasn't able to feel anything, even though I was jumping and singing my lungs out. It is sooo weird to feel like that. It's like I've never been there, and it's kinda sad. Like, I can't believe my memories because they feel like a dream. She was literally in front of me and I'm questioning if it was real life. I just believe I was there because of the pics and videos, but even with all of this, it doesn't feel real. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doot 2 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 You get used to it, but it is addicting. I saw three shows this tour, and almost bought a ticket to another one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

giskardsb 12,565 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 The same endorphins get generated during a show that many drugs enhance, with similar results in the come down. Which is probably why it’s a good thing I don’t live in Vegas. I’d be there every show looking for another Gaga high Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
