If you really gotta go, what songs can you sacrifice?

For me, the big three are;

Corduroy
GTF
and fucking Betterman

Wishlist is up there, too.

Not that I don't like these songs, its just that they've been played at most of the shows I've been to. I could stand to hear less of them.

    in 5 shows, I luckily have never gone to the bathroom during one :D if it was an absolute emergency I would sprint during an encore break
  • I've never moved from my seat in 11 shows and only sit during encore breaks. :p I'm too worried about missing anything.

    I get annoyed when people keep crossing in front of me during the show. For instance, the girl next to me left during Leash. WTF?

    lolz, I'm pretty sure she had no idea what the fuck Leash is.

    Leash ;)
  • I couldn't believe it....I'm pretty sure it was just a potty break too.

    The only way I would've moved would be in a stretcher.

    Yeah well some of us don't have excretory systems like we used to. College pretty much destroyed mine.

    When I drink...I piss...

    I do not have a song I wait for, but this year in GR I had to break during the opening song ELDERLY WOMAN, then unfortunately LBC, and the long break during RVM.


    Detroit...Again, got caught during the opening song LONG ROAD, next....Who cares, do not feel like finishing post

    I don't care to ever hear Betterman again, but that is the ONLY one I would miss for a piss break. Maybe Last Kiss, too.
  • well I make sure I never have to leave for a bathroom break...but if I must...

    Even Flow, Jeremy, Unemployable, Insignificance, Last Kiss.

    Jeremy at Chicago 1 and Betterman at Chicago 2 were my choices to let the juice out.. :cool:
  • Pearls&StonesPearls&Stones Posts: 585
    I've gone during"Even Flow" once or twice because it is one of the few Pearl Jam songs that I feel the studio version is much better. They play it too damn fast live.

    And, you'll all hate me for this, but I'll almost force myself to go if they play "State of Love and Trust." I don't get why everyone loves it so much.

    Also "Bored to Tears." I mean "Driven to Tears"

    beginning of Evenflow (as long as I'm back for Mikey's solo)
    Last Kiss
    Betterman (after the singalong, cause I like to hear the crowd)
    Daughter
    Black

    and in Hartford, I thought I was going to piss my pants and had to leave during Marker in the Sand....I wasn't going to make it to a piss break song.

    Never again though...always go before the show and hold it till one of the above songs....and NEVER go on an Encore Break...I hit NO lines when I go during songs.

    16 shows and not once have I ever had to take a piss during any song but I guess if I really really had to it would prolly be during last kiss or betterman. But I'd still rather take care of my business before or after the show.....i wouldnt wanna miss anythin.
    Aah, fuck it, I’m just gonna go home, turn on the fuckin’ TV...
    Watch the nightly news and drink a beer...
    Like I could even change the world, yeah right...

  • BATHROOM BREAKS ARE AGAINST THE RULES! the rules my brother and I have for shows that is. we drink NO beer the day of the show, and pee at exactly 8:30. Once, when I was at a show in san francisco, I had gotten pretty dehydrated in the 10c line and had a few too many lemonades at dinner. I had to pee during the show. I went during Daughter. It was a sad moment.

    During the opening band because A) Never like them, so nothing to miss B) There are no lines because not a lot of people are there before PJ takes the stage. c) Don't wanna miss anything good that might happen during a song.

    1st show of the tour for me, and i headed for the can when comeback came on....fuckin awful.
    Let's not be negative now. Thumper has spoken
  • I try not to go durning the show but if i had to the one song would be NAIS.
  • momofglynnmomofglynn Posts: 849
    I would have to say

    Even Flow
    Last Kiss
    Wishlist

    If I had to go those would be the ones I would use....however Hartford I had to pee so bad but I just couldn't do it. The boys were just too incredible I could not leave. Same with Boston. I certainly had opportunities to go in all 3 shows. But there I was the end of the 2nd encore (both nights!) and I thought my teeth were floating!!!! Man something about being in Boston and just way too many Irish Pubs to hit before and after the show!!!!!!!
    Let's Go Red Sox!
  • I only had to leave once.. and I missed I got shit.. and the start of even flow, thankfully I was back for mike's solo. SO NEVER AGAIN!!!

    Had to go in Buffalo in '03 and went during....Go. The pisser was twenty feet from me and no lines, was in and out in 2 minutes and heard the whole song anyway, so no harm done.

    just gotta HOLD it.

    Smartest words I've read so far... :D

    I would never have to pee during a show, I just hold it in!
    For the Buenos Aires 1 show last time I went to the bathroom was 11:30 am, got in the Ten Club line, at 2 pm I wanted to go to the bathroom, but could not leave the line by that time. Entered the venue at around 3-4pm, went straight to the front row, otherwise I'd lose my spot. Stood in the sun and front row for hours on end, wanting to pee real bad. Till the show started, and I just forgot about that or maybe became dehydrated and lost the urge, dunno lol. I drank loads of water during the show, I was so dehydrated. Went to the bathroom when the show ended, must have been around midnight.
    y la banda de Guille... cuando toca?

    I have only taken ta bathrm break once that I can remember and it was TO N2...after Ed did Cinamon Girl and went into Betterman I ran at the beginnning of BM and made it back in time to still sing along.

    I always think that I'll go during Betterman but then I can't help myself...and I can't leave. Last Kiss I'd go or Evacuation.
