    If I really have to go, I hold it for an encore break.

    If I am in GA I stop drinking fluids at 3pm and just bring a pack of gum for when I feel thirsty. If I have a seat I don't worry about it. I can go to the washroom within 2 minutes. No biggie. I definitely don't want to feel like I have to pee while I'm trying to enjoy the show, so holding it isn't an option. Just go right away so you aren't distracted by your bladder.

    I time it...I stop consuming beverages at a certain point before the show, then wait to pee until after. Although I have to say cutz and PJ_Soul are awesome people to have hold your place in the pit when you run off to pee between the opener and PJ.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I took a piss break once when they opened for Tom Petty, it was during the Petty portion of the show and I nearly missed Ed coming out for The Waiting. Never again.

    Twelve shows and never a bathroom break. No liquids two hours before the show and immodium are my secret weapons.

    If I had to though, last kiss or just about anything off Riot Act.

    Funny stuff.
    How people can admit that they have gone to 20-30-40 shows, and never urinated.

    You people a little obsessed? Hahahaha

    Im 50 years old.
    I urinate during the 5th, 9th, 13th, 21st, and 26th songs.
    Then I purposely leave before the 2nd encore, and urinate 4 times on the way to my car.
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    What do people really think they will miss, if they go and use the restroom?
    When you get up from your seat, Pearl Jam will be playing songs.
    When you return from the restroom, Pearl Jam will still be playing songs.

    You really wont be missing much.

    Agreed. I have seen people literally suffering through the shows with their bladders about to burst rather than running to the washroom real quick. That makes no sense to me at all. They are so distracted by their need to pee that they're missing way more of the show than they would if they just went and took a leak.

    But what would happen if I went to the bathroom and Ed looked where I was standing?!?! Or if mike threw guitar pics in my direction?!?! Or the ultimate... If Ed shared his wine with everyone around me and I was in the God damn bathroom?!?! That s why I always wear a nice comfortable pair of depends while at a pearl jam show.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Used to be Evenflow or Jeremy, because I saw so many 90s shows I felt like I was good with those songs and wasn't missing anything dramatic. I actually don't go during those songs anymore.

    Wishlist has ALWAYS been a pee break... or merch break... anything break song. I just have heard it enough and don't love it live. Only when Ed used to do the mirror reflection stuff did I feel like I was missing something.

    That said, I don't often have to go on pee breaks during shows - I've definitely gone whole shows without them.
