Does anyone else have this problem post shows??
Ok so.. as excited as i am for the four philly shows (im beyond excitement really, it has exceeded to a new level
) I also get kind of afraid.... Every year, when i do more than two shows in a row.. I always end up blowing out my calf /leg muscles and or voice. Why do i do this to myself? Why can't i just settle down and pace myself? The weird thing is , im not even out of shape , i work out regularly so im not sure how to avoid this post-show bodily pain lol I mean it was so bad after the southern 08 shows that my friends had to literally lift me in the car to ride home ... Maybe i just need to do mad stretching before hand? I've tried to calm myself but it all ends when that music comes on and the lights go down :?
I mean i could understand if i was 45 but this has been happening to me since 16!

sounds like nerves or your dehydrated. been there done that
it normally takes a few days after shows for me to get completely back to normal, but nothing like you're talking about here.
CHILLIN LIKE BOB DYLAN!!!
Now that u mention it, the worst time (the time i could barely walk) WAS after the West palm show, (and i had smoked) and even a gallon of water later i still felt dehydrated.. Will try the b vitamins for sure this time!! Thanks for all the tips
gets ya right in the middle of the shoulder blades too..
Important to log those extra treadmill miles before a tour and pace yourself on show day not to drink or smoke too much. This can be difficult for some.
haha as much as it sucks, it always feels worth it
I'll take your tix!
Face value of course.
is that exactly what I thought I read."

made me laugh...and it definitely is!
i find if i do 3-5 shows in close proximity, i tend to injure myself.
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
I think its just the consistent bounce/jumping that really gets you.. no way to really prepare of that either
i am sure ed has a whole host of other issues to deal with in relaytion to his show stamina. all the boys really. it does take a LOT out of you. as for fans, i have to agree....outside of the wear and tear from touring-travel/late nights/drinking/singing....for many it is all that jumping/bouncing. i am more of a swayer/dancer, thus i don't get those cramp issues...
btw - get a trampoline!

That should help.
OMG! :shock:
After i almost broke my self in half on one i tossed that shit
yeah stretching might work.
......But just think of all the calories you’re burning!
Felt a lot better though with more space at the Seattle and Vancouver shows, though I'll always sacrifice space in a seated show for the vibrancy of a GA crowd.
