Concert bathroom break songs

So it never fails - always have to make at least 2 bathroom breaks during a show. Forget encore break, the womens restroom is always packed. What are your bathroom break songs?

My 3 are
last kiss
evenflow
Johnny guitar


What about you?

As an added note : I love all pearl jam songs - and can hear them from the restroom so it's not that I am missing out on the song, I just tend to hear them often and know I will most likely catch em again at the next show.

ALL PEARL JAM SONGS ROCK, but sometimes a girl has got to pee :)

    Unless I feel like my bladder is going to rupture inside of me, I paid for the ticket, I'm watching my favorite band.




    Now whether or not this viewpoint will change after my first shows, will remain to be seen.

    For me:

    Evenflow
    Alive
    Elderly Woman

    Usually only take one, MAYBE two bathroom breaks during the show and try to get there and back during the encore breaks, but if I have to go, it will be during these staples.
    He who forgets will be destined to remember.

    I don't drink @ shows so I don't need to go to pee. I don't wanna miss anything.
    And anyway, there's no such songs for me, sorry.

    Don't believe in bathroom breaks unless it hurts and there's nothing I can think of PJ playing that would make me go. I don't get to that many gigs so I guess pissing my pants at PJ wouldn't be the worst thing to happen in my lifetime? :think:

    It actually amazes me with all the bitching and moaning about not enough tour dates, not playing near enough to your home town or even in your country that anyone would want to miss a second of a PJ gig and especially after the difficulty that some of us have getting or affording tickets. You crazies confuse the hell out of me? :crazy:

    While I HATE having to hit the bathroom during a show and hate missing ANY song.
    The three that come to mind right now:



    Jeremy (Zzzzzz...heard waaay too many times and I'm pretty sure the band doesn't even want to play it)
    Last Kiss (Just not a good song live. Short song too, so you gotta run! :lol: )
    Even Flow (Again, seen it at every PJ show I've been to. It's just kind of boring live anymore)

    I guess I also wouldn't mind missing a song like Deep (Not a good song in the first place)

    i could never imagine going to so many shows that Even Flow becomes boring to watch. when they play it, its so much more than a song. its a showcase

    I'm with everyone else, never go to the bathroom during a PJ show unless absolutely necessary! I try and go before the show, not during. You can hold it in for a few hours right?

    Exactly. Plus, I'm blessed with an awesome bladder, so I usually have no problem holding it. I'd rather not have some jerk come and steal my seat while I'm gone either, because I've wound up standing for the rest of shows because of that.
    Thanks EPOTTSIII!

    I have never left my seat/position to go pee during ;) a PJ show. They don't visit us often enough in Australia and I want to be there for every song they do. For that reason, once I've found my seat or position in ga I worm my way out to the toilets before the show starts and get it over and done with so I can enjoy the show without having to worry about peeing during any of the songs. Especially in ga it's extremely hard to get a position back towards the front once the concert has started, I'm just not prepared to risk going out and losing my place.

    despite jitters about it and intensive training with ziggy and dunky, i didn't even think about needing to pee in aucks. good thing too cuz i would never have been able to get back into the front row. and i agree with all the sentiments of "you shouldn't leave during any song muthabitches!"

    i got pulverised during some fast songs at my first show and had to escape to get water. i'll never forgive myself for missing immortality.

    Yeah, OMG who the hell leaves a gig like PJ to go pee?!?! You hold on, stop drinking liquid at 9am, dehydrate yourself like crazy coz I'm sure as hell not missing a single song at a big concert! I dunno, has never really been an issue for me, especially when you get up the front I guess you sweat any liquid out or it's just all too exciting or something.
