    I strategically pick that song because it's long, I've heard it a lot, I don't care for the speed, and I HAVE TO USE THE BATHROOM.

    Maybe you should talk to your doctor about medication to alleviate your weak bladder ...

    I am sick of that song live-its a great song, but I dont need to see it live again for at least five years. Add black, alive and crazy mary to that list.

    Again, you're just going to too many shows, then.

    I never understand that argument. "It's a great song, but I've heard it too much."

    How? You control your own CD player. You can skip any song you want. They don't play PJ much on the radio anymore.

    The only place you are forced to listen to certain songs is on tour. If it's too much for you to hear Evenflow, Black and Alive five times in one year, you probably ought to go to fewer shows. Because that's the only place you're hearing these songs, probably.

  • everyone has to have their pee break song(s). Mine is Even Flow.

    NOBODY gets up during even flow outside of the hardcore fans. it's a song all casual fans know. if you leave the second the song starts, you get back for the solo. i did this for camden and both msg's and i always got back for mike.

    Dear Mike McCready:
    Dude, you are the best guitarist. I'm sorry me and my bladder disrespect you. I've told my bladder multiple times: "Please Bladder, don't fill up during Evenflow. This is only our 16th time we get to hear it live, not counting the million times on the radio and the 54 versions on my ipod".
    But that bastard just never listens. Anyway Mike, I hope the cut of the 4 tickets, two Tshirts, and two bootlegs I've spent on your band in the last two days, counts as some sort of respect towards you.
    Sincerely,
    Me and My Bladder
  • Maybe you should talk to your doctor about medication to alleviate your weak bladder ...
    LOL I have a large bladder. I just like to have a beer or 2 or 3 at the start of the show. This causes me to pee. I've held it before, but I don't always want to. I think it is extremely sanctimonious of anyone to tell me that I should go to less shows. I don't really like fast evenflow. 90% of the arena loves it and rocks out. So I doubt mike notices.

    However. If this is what people want here it is. You are all better fans than those of us who go to the bathroom during evenflow. You show utmost respect, you are proper fans, and I am a shallow SOB who steals tickets from better fans like yourselves.

    Yeah, you're probably right. I should leave the comedy to the people that are offended by what people wear, what they text and when they go to the bathroom.
  • PearlJamaholicPearlJamaholic Posts: 2,018
    they should just stop playing even flow all the time. people wil be waiting and waiting for even flow just to use the bathroom, and it never comes. so then they'll be stuck going during the encores and end up missing the first song. camden 2 they came out and played footsteps for the second encore, would have sucked to miss that one standing in a rest room. mwahaha!

    evenflow at 30% of the shows. and let mike tear it up at the end of immortality or something. red mosquito, nothing as it seems, there are plenty of songs that have solos in them.

    Hey, I got an idea: STOP DRINKING ALCOHOL!! Light up a joint or take a toke of a bowl or something instead. No residual pissing dilemmas when you smoke, and you tend to mellow out more instead of acting like a complete fucking jackass. I mean...pissing in a cup in front of people? This is something that should be happening at a Jay-Z concert...not Pearl Jam.

    What fucking Jay-Z concert have you been too? First off people at a rap show do not piss in a fucking cup in public, that is some silly frat boy bullshit! I had to chime in on that just because I thought that Jay-Z was an odd example?? You abviously don't know black folks!! lol We don't do that kinda shit...period!

    -Leave the comedy to anyone but yourself

    -Don't worry about people who take interest in other people's clothing or urinary patterns. They are lame.

    i've seen pearl jam 37 times since 1996. in those 37 times they have played evenflow 37 times. I take a piss during that song now. sorry, this song just bores me. and i really really hate the drum solo.

    besides that, if they didn't end with yellow ledbetter this band would be perfect. but what in life is actually perfect?
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Also, in the 30+ shows that I have been to, I have only ONCE had to go to the bathroom during the show....

    It was in Nashville, when it was 96 degrees, and I was downing water the whole time, which finally caught up with me.

    I missed Parting Ways as a result.....so I vowed never again to go to the bathroom during a show. This means not drinking so much during the show....I save it for after the show. (If I have enough energy to gout after the show.)

    I will probably take some shit, but who cares.

    I think the whole thing of people rushing from their seats at the begining of Evenflow sucks. I can't believe that Mike doesn't notice it. I just think it is disrespectful to pick that part of the show to take a piss or get a beer.

    It was very noticeable at the Garden. I had to get that off my chest.

    i prefer crazy mary as a bathroom break song.
