The Even Flow Dash...

Did you know that Mike's solo in Even Flow is typically 2:30? Perfect piss break.

Just a friendly concert tip...

I pulled it off both nights in Philly...no idea where the men's rooms are in MSG for tomorrow night.
With man gone, will there be hope for Gorilla?

    Just a more beer break for me... by then I've already gone twice in the previous beer cups, respectively.

    I think I have seen Even Flow live more than 15 times...and then when you add in the countless times I have listened to the boots...I can miss it in exchange of the sweet relief...I do a lot of old school pogoing up front.

    Last Kiss and I am pissing AND buying a beer.

    After Camden 1 I was walking behind a girl who saw a full beer cup under an empty seat and said 'what a waste of beer' - I didn't have the heart to tell her...
    I smile, but who am I kidding...

    Ive heard it countless times and during one of the 1998 Camden shows Mike played the solo just for me, directly in front of me, as I took photos. After the song was over he gave me permission from that point on, to make my beer runs during his solo as long as I stay for his solo during the very last song.

    MSG beercups paper or plastic? I prefer plastic...

    Mike is god...what ever he says goes!

    Besides, I was on the Stone side both nights, and he wasn't all that "interactive"...

    Is there any more boring guitarist than Mike? I come on if you heard one version of Even Flow you've heard 'em all. Oh wait, never mind. I was thinking of a crappy guitarist in a crappy band who I wouldn't even bother showing up for. Geez, come on. Show Mike some love. The guy is amazing and he always brings something new to Even Flow. Just man up and piss your pants. Mike will appreciate it.

    You guys are missing the whole point of even flow. Mike's solo is the best part of the song. Hold it till the end of the show.

    I like Even Flow. If I absolutely have to go, I wait for a song like Last Kiss.

    This works even better when you don't even like Even Flow.

    Count me in the above group.

    There's also the potentially effective but admittedly quite challenging possibility of taking a piss RIGHT BEFORE the show ...

    I went to the tour opener with my father, and he pissed during Oceans, Sad, and Dissident.

    To me that is herasy, but i agree that the e-flow solo is piss break time. Now i have had the dilemma of being at 2 shows where evenflow was not played & sadly i cant remember what song I pissed during.

    During the DC show, right when I heard the first chords, I walked out to get a beer. 5 mins later, I returned to my seat during the ending chorus. Very pleased.

    Thanks funny you say that. I always take a leak and grab a drink during Even Flow. Its the perfect song becuase they play it everytime and its always over 7 minutes long.
