No Encores? When do I take a potty break??!!
No Encores? When do I take a potty break??!!
Okay, evidently EC is doing shows straight through with no breaks or pre-planned encores!!! Great. . . but when do we all take a nature break????!!! Pick the song that will send you to the restrooms. All deep thoughts are welcome!

I always try and drink very modestly before any important show, but the lager and tequila were flowing in Hammersmith, so I held out as far as The Monkey, which I'd never heard before, decided it was boring and made a run for it. It was also short, and was horrified as a new song started up, but relieved when I heard it was Pump It Up, a song I've already hear live too many times.
There's more to life than books, you know, but not much more
A long time ago, my husband and then boyfriend went to see a bunch of bands including EC and the A's at an all day thing at RFK stadium, the name of which escapes me now. Of course, being an all day event, a potty break was inevitable. Not knowing the order of the bands, not to mention the crap with the ladies room line always being 3 times as long as the guys.....I get in line.
Here's how this story ends.
I'm in a stall taking a pee and the walls are thumping and the place is going nuts BECAUSE EC IS OUT THERE PLAYING PUMP IT UP!!
Needless to say, aside from giving birth, I don't leave during performances if I can help it.

I'm not angry anymore....
I think maybe now, I might not be as pissed if it turned out that I missed Pump It Up for the same reason Otis states above. But back in the day, it was a major crush missing that one. (I believe that may have been the first time I had ever heard PIU live too.)Otis Westinghouse wrote:........but relieved when I heard it was Pump It Up, a song I've already hear live too many times.
I'll never forget it.....I'll just never forget it.

Potty breaks
Not been a problem since he seems to have dispensed with support acts (at least in the UK). That's the time to drink - and pee when the support finishes. Since supports stopped there's barely enough time to get there, let alone have a drink first - therefore no problem. With one exception...
Saw him during the North tour October '03 at Festival Hall, which clashed with the last Euro 04 qualifier between Turkey and England, which kicked off at 6ish. Only solution was to watch game in a Waterloo pub beforehand and leave after final whistle to get to gig. One has to imbibe in such circumstances (obviously..) Big rush to get to Festival Hall, barely time for pee, then long gig. Matter of principle not to leave....but bit of a stressed bladder by the end. Mind it was North-...though would have been pissed off to miss My Mood Swings with Brodskys.
