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.

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.

mcshed Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 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 Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 When I see Patti Smith I just watch the show normally, until she plays Piss Factory when I go off like a sprinkler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padjeq Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quark Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry bear Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just poor planning. 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 Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfuhruhurr Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how many containers they filled. Luckily I wasn’t there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chawk Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) 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.
