    Your depression will end when you get the bootleg, then you will listen to it 100 times... Then you will want to go to all shows on the next tour, but knowing that you may not go to any... Then you will have anxiety attack... Then they will announce tour... Then you will get anxiety attacks more during the lottery. Then you will get tickets and be happy... Then you will go to show and have the best time ever... Then you will be depressed again. Vicious cycle.

    Oh man, I thought I'd somehow dodged the post-show depression this year but it's catching up to me two weeks later... Help!

    I have it and I haven't even seen the show yet... But it happens everytime. I try to just take in as much as I can. It sucks getting home and having that experience slowly fade but I try not to dwell on the fact that it's past but remember the highlights. The boots sure help though. I just need to see more shows per tour

    The shows are so good and you get such a buzz, you have to come down at some point. After the Fall of 2013 stretch (PHX, LA, LA), I was buzzing for a week, then I started to come down and wondered when/if I would see them live again. Thankfully these men enjoy entertaining us and keep on going.

    The only reason I get depressed after a show is if I miss out on the poster and then go online and see them selling for $120+. I have all of the posters of the shows I have been to except for 2 now (Vote for Change and '14 Cincy). I wish there was a way to pre-order these through 10C if you are going to the show. Now I have to try to get 2 from Milwaukee and trade for a Cincy...

    Even though I got 2 great shows so far (Cincy & Memphis) I always look at the setlists and say man I wish I was at that show instead. We can't just be happy with what we have...they always leave us wanting more.

    I got it and it hits me hard.....had to wait 4 weeks to get the Berlin Bootleg ! Leeds finally arrived last week and disc 2 was missing...so I can tell you...all this waiting for Bootlegs and Posters just drives me craaazzzzyyyy !!!!
    But...the time between winning tickets and the shows was really exciting! Then I was so excited during the shows (my first) that I can´t remember everything (Berlin was a little crazy at second row sometimes).
    Now I am sitting here following the shows so I sometimes have just two hours left for sleep and could cry not having a chance to get one of this fall gigs! Really hard is to know that we more than likely will not get a show in Germany next year...
    cry...
    so, how could I get through all this waiting???? :((

    my phone lost 50% battery life after my friend texted me about the setlist ~10 songs in. The post show depression is strong with me tonight.

    It totally sucks. Especially when you are traveling out of your province / country just to see your band at work. When it's all over & you have to go home to a small town .. It hurts, so fucking much. :(

    Yes. It does suck. Listening to Riot Act on a Sunday afternoon in Chicago and having a beer. To compound the depression is the Bears are losing.

    On to Milwaukee! GodSpeed!

    Last fall I cured this ailment by getting myself to an additional show, with great effort. This year they are toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo far away for me to do that, which makes it even worse. Knowing the solution, but not being able to implement it :(

    I'm right there with all of you... still will cherish Moline for a lifetime!

    Oh, it's Bad !!! My shows are over and it's back to the real world. I've been off work for 11 days and it just pains my heart that I have to go back. I almost forgot I had to. My run ended with Moline and it was amazing in every way. You just spend so much time and thought during the months and days before the tour just waiting for it, and when it finally arrives, it's over in a flash and your left with great memories but you never want it to end. All I need is to win the lottery, so I can follow them around seeing the world and
    I would be happy forever. Until next time.... It's been great
