    I never understood the people who have "piss break" songs, like I just never got it.  

    If I caught Pearl Jam shows 200 times in a row and all of those shows had Even Flow in them I would be perfectly happy.  The hits are hits for a reason, they are amazing songs.  


    Like has been said before ...SOME OF US CAN'T HELP IT....once you get to a certain age you can't control everything. Why do you have to dis people cause they have to take a bathroom break? It doesn't mean someone doesn't love the songs, but if they don't that's fine too.

    Less covers. I am 100% onboard for less covers.

    Honestly it would never happen, but if they did a whole set list with nothing but covers I think I would still think it was sick.

    I think for any of us that have been to a lot of shows there are more people who it may be there 1st or 2nd show ever. I would be bummed if I was a huge fan and my first time seeing them they skipped EvenFlow or Alive , I know they have skipped them in the past but I cannot see a whole tour were they skip the hits.

    But if they wanted to do an 8 minute version of Little Wing during the 2nd encore, I'd be down for that

    Love that 95 Milwaukee Little Wing/Maggot Brain combo.

    Honestly could be my favorite piece of Mikes guitar playing ever.

    The songs I haven't seen and really want to see in person:  SOLAT, Sad, Rats, Leash, Hard to Imagine, I got ID, Long Road, In my Tree, Pendulum.
    If Pendulum seems out of character compared with the rest of that list, I love that song and love it live.  My one LB tour show, LA-2, was just about the only show they didn't open with it.  But I got Breath and No-Way that show.  Those two would have been on the above list.
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    I’m #teampee. The only time I’m making it 3 hours without peeing is if I’m asleep, and many times not then. Y’all sound like a buncha poorly hydrated mofos.

    49 shows so far. Gimme all the Gigaton. All of it.  If they played greatest hits or all rarities, either one is fine, but I want the new stuff. 
    46 shows for me so far. Purposely going to Toronto to see some Gigaton tracks played live for the first time ever. I don't expect they're gonna play it in entirety in YYZ, but I hope to get a handful. After that, give me the songs I need to complete albums: God's Dice, Big Wave, Getaway, My Father's Son, Can't Keep & Bu$hleaguer. And, I will always want Breath, Light Years, In Hiding and RVM.

    Like I said in another reply before this one, we are talking about two different things. There is a difference between "I need to take a piss now" and pre-designating songs such as "if they play ___ I will go grab a beer or take a piss" and calling songs piss break songs on forums and whatnot.  The latter is the mindset I have always been baffled by

    I heard you can't trust a fart when you are over 50 too. I am not looking forward to that. I love me some cropdusting!

    i know i'm going to have to pee at SOME point; why not decide in advance when that is going to be? If I don't do that, I risk having to go during something I absolutely don't want to miss.

    Normally, I'd love to have a show with deep cuts and do without some of the obvious ones like Even Flow...but this time around, I'll  be attending with my 2 young boys who are just getting into the band. It's also their first concert - so the experience for me will be watching them and how they react to the to the crowd and the overall PJ live experience. Really excited about this opportunity to share PJ with them

    Saw PJ on the Riot Act tour for the first time, I was a baby @ 15 years old. It's been a healthy obsession ever since. Try to hit as many shows as I can. Definitely #1 favourite way to offload the disposable income. It's my happy place.

    I love "collecting" songs I haven't heard before (gunning for Glorified G or WMA on this tour) & hearing my favourites for the umpteenth time (Given to Fly, Why Go, RVM, etc). Pretty much smiling & dancing for 3 straight hours.

    I enjoy bringing loved ones to their first PJ concerts (countless exes, mom, sister, etc.). Bringing out my buddy Pete this year.

    As much as I enjoy it, I have no hesitation for bathroom breaks. Usain Bolt style once I hear the opening chords of Elderly Woman.

    Well then what would happen then if the piss break song you already determined in advance was played as the second song in the setlist? Lol

    And again it is the larger point - "piss break" can be interchangeable with "beer break" or "texting break" or anything really - it is more the expression of "I will actively find something else to do if they play ___"
