i occasionally see posts that regard Evenflow as a "piss break" song. Or people "wish they didn't play it so often". Or "its played too fast now!!"

i dont give a shit, i love that song. its god damn epic. i hope they play it at BOTH worcester shows, and that the solo/jam is SUPER long. hell yea.

I dont get the hate for the hits... you know what else i wanna hear?

Betterman
Alive
Jeremy (never mind, they can hang that one up)

Not everyone in the crowd knows "hold on". there is nothing like Evenflow to bring the night to the next level!

TO ME, this song will always sound like THIS when the band is playing it, even if it has become a fast paced requirement from the band:

    Its their most played song, so the die hards just hear it too much. I generally skip it on the bootlegs so it sounds fresh to me live at a show. Mike's shredding will never get old!

    I am a "die hard" and it is NEVER too much for me. EVER.

    i don't understand the people that decided its a whiz break. thats just ridiculous.

    its one of their best song..its one of their hymn
    the only reason this song not to be in the setlist,is when they play 2 nights in the row at the same venue-city and they choose not to replay it..
    but for me,when they start writting the setlist,even to a back to back show must be the song they add first..
    its more than epic,at every second of it..
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".

    it is still great but I do tend to skip it on the bootlegs. one of the reasons it's a piss break song is because it usually comes in the 8th to 12th song of the set range and after tailgating before the show that usually constitutes the time to go again.

    I think it could use a new place in the set. closing the show (or before Yellow Ledbetter) I think would be cool. Put it in RITW spot.

    i agree about RITFW. if fact, fewer covers overall. if we skip RITFW, that means we might get a "Faithfull".

    Should be played later, like Alive is.

    RITFW should be played as often as lets say Baba, and not every show like nowadays.

    Eddie didn't climb the speaker rigs to Last Kiss or just breathe,No that was Fucking Even Flow.This Epic gem is part of the Holy Trinity of Must Play songs (Alive, Betterman and you could add Porch).It brings the show energy to a new place and its always a better place.Piss break, Pleeeease.You hold it in for this classic. I am disappointed if it isn't played..

    I Love this song and have since the day it was released.It is Rock Masterpiece and a Heavy weight jam.IMO you cannot truly embrace the evolution of this band without paying respects to the sludgy kick ass songs that got it all going.Also to the casual fans,spouses kids that get dragged to a show by diehards like us ,they know it ,can sing to it.Can get their groove on.

    I like moving it into the encore portion of the show.

    I have found that no matter how much beer I drink, if a sweat a ton, I dont have to piss..

    But I have always found it fascinating that some people can actually schedule there piss breaks.. If I gotta go, I gotta go.. just have to accept that I will be running through the crowd during "Green Disease" or something like that..

    But, if it happens during a real rarity, I am just gonna let it go where i stand ;)
