    Face melting mccready rules even flow. Took a first timer to 10/28/09 and I believe it was even flow and Mikes ridiculous solo that converted him. I can never understand why anyone would leave to take a piss break, thats what the encore break is for. ...

    I couldn't agree with you more. I took my 2 sons to Columbus 5/6/10 for their first-ever PJ show, and all the way from WI to OH they said, "I hope they play 'Even Flow' tonight." When the opening riff rang out, my 8 year-old promptly removed his shirt and said, "I'm gonna rock this hard, Dad."

    Not to be outdone, at the end of the first set, my 10 year-old practices perfect concert etiquette by saying, "Ok Dad, now I really have to take a leak." We ran out, did our biz, and were back in our seats before the first encore break was over.

    I made a mental note before the show to see if anyone was leaving during Even Flow, but I was too busy rocking with my boys...priceless moment!

    Priceless! Great story.

    Count me in. Love me some Even Flow :thumbup:
    We could get Chiquimonkey to make us some cool ass t-shirts and wear them with pride.
    I like it!! I think Chiquimonkey would do this idea proud!! :D You can get t-shirts made for anything at many places now (http://www.spreadshirt.co.uk/create-you ... t/17590052), but it would need something more artistic with a touch of class given that the song in question has buckets of it! I love that this song is still admired by the majority and everyone hasn't jumped on the pissbreak bandwagon. It surprises me more that people can't hold it in for a couple of hours and since Even Flow is usually quite early in the set people must be missing 3 or 4 songs if their bladders are so weak? :? Glad to see this too!

    If I would go to a show and not have my face melted by mikes solo, then I could might as well stay home...
    this comes from someone who have been to ONE show only....

    people leaving a PJ show for a pissbreak....i dont understand that, only if you're very young or very very old you may be excused....

    even flow together with once is what got me into this band in the first place, so please play it every show so I get to hear it some time, if I ever get the opportunity that is

    peace love and evenflow for all

    I'll definitely join this one!!

    I can't understand people who use this song as a 'bathroom break'...I wouldn't ever wanna miss a second of it, no matter how many times I've seen it in concert!

    Amen!! I mean I assume people don't piss during an 8 hour sleep so a two and a half hour show should be easy? :? I don't think even Last Kiss recieves the same level of hate Even Flow does?

    Even Flow is awesome. I'm joining.

    I get a little uptight too at the posts were very spophisticated PJ fans lament the fact that they were forced to endure one of the all-time rock classics. In their defence, I guess their tastes are just that much more refined than us simple folk... who just haven't figured out how to value and prefer songs like 'Bushleaguer' to it.

    More Jeremy too please.
