Bands start to finish

If the idea is "who could you go and see where you would enjoy all the songs played" then you have to understand that most people are like this with the majority of acts they pay to go and see.

Reading the question the way you worded makes me think Gazza is going to gigs just for the one song he knows and then puts up with the rest of set.

I've changed my mind. It was a shit idea for a thread, I'll stick it here instead...

You're watching your favourite band, given their usual setlist, if you really have to, when do you go for a piss?

Only rules are you can't choose a drum/guitar/other solo, you can't just say "during the new song" or during pre encore break.

 

I'll go with:

Rolling Stones - Miss You

 

I think it’s a pretty good question...

Blur - Sunday Sunday

Oasis - Shakermaker

RHCP - I’d just stay in the longdrop.

Easiest question ever

Tom Waits - Falling Down

I mean I'd probably piss myself rather than miss a second given how rarely he tours but I didn't understand why Falling Down made it to so many of the Glitter and Doom dates when he has such an extensive back catalogue of frankly better offerings.

[Hugh Jass]

The Foos are an easy one. Just wait until the song you like has finished and go during the extended outro and pissing about.

Think I managed to relieve myself, go the Cider Bus, order a burrito and catch a little bit of The Jacksons during the ending to Monkey Wrench.

[CaledonianGonzo]

When I see Patti Smith I just watch the show normally, until she plays Piss Factory when I go off like a sprinkler.

[jump]

Start Wearing Purple by Gogol Bordello, I know it's a great sing along song and probably their most popular one but I never liked it that much. Plus as everyone loves that one it means the bar is clear.

[nikkic]

Chemical Brothers - Salmon Dance

Luckily they don’t seem to play it that often 

[Padjeq]

I don't understand the original question but I will say I decided against getting Depeche Mode tickets after having a nose at their hit-lite setlists.

The London stadium show on the last tour.

5 from the new album

1 deep cut

1 cover

+ 15 top 30 singles.

I mean, how many artists even have 15 top 30 singles?

Springsteen, ‘Sunny day’.

[Quark]

In response to @thewayiam's original question now we've figured out what Gazza meant

• Levellers (obviously  )
• Dub Pistols
• Foo Fighters

3 bands I have seen at least a few times, and I know I'll have a blast every time with really few songs I'm going to find a bit of a dip in the fun.

And @Gnomicide's question. Again, it's obviously Levs I'm watching.  Assuming that I'm not allowed to just piss myself where I stand (insert tired gag about average Levellers gig attendees here) it'd either be This Garden or Hope Street.

But I don't think I have ever had to abandon a set by any band midway through for a piss.  That's just poor planning.

[henry bear]

It happened to me during Led Zeppelin’s O2 show. Slightly overdid the beers and had a difficult choice to make. Opted for JPJ’s keyboard solo during No Quarter for a comfort break.

Ya gotta go when ya gotta go. I've nipped off for a shit during bands on many occasions (all bands I've seen before to be fair).

I don't even think about it any more if I think the band's only around halfway through I go as soon as possible and get it out of the way.

[Calvin Klein]

I went for a piss during the jam in Midnight Rambler. I know it was probably sacrilege, but I couldn't hold it any longer. 

[hfuhruhurr]

Dilemma when you're 10 mins from the end of the set, you know there's no hope between main set and encore and not a hope after the gig. And, you're busting.

[Crazyfool01]

I’m always pissing during sets ... don’t take any illegals though ... gonna have to work on better timing of the spirits now ...

Down your pint so you can now use the empty cup rather than missing the band 😜

[Hugh Jass]

Had a nightmare at the end of Arcade Fire’s set.

Really needed to go but didn’t want to miss Wake Up, annoyingly the set was a song longer than I anticipated and when they started their second last song I decided enough was enough and made a dash for the urinals. Came out of them just as Wake Up was starting and they turned all the lights on which completely disoriented me and spent the entire song wandering around trying to find Mrs J.

Should have just wet myself.

Well, I can’t say I’ve never done that, but I know friends who’ve been at the front row of the Pyramid all day to be there for the main act (The Stones for example). I don’t know how many containers they filled. Luckily I wasn’t there. 

[Chawk]

For me, it's definitely worth going for a piss sooner rather than later. Otherwise you spend like 20 mins standing there thinking 'should i go? is now the time to leave? now?'

i've only been in the vicinity of a crowd pisser once. it was in a fkin tent at latitude watching king creosote. the crowd just made a little circle around him.

Stevie Wonder - I just called to say I love you (I love you Stevie but that song can do one... i was probably singing it in the urinal)
