goose Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 QUOTE (apetersvt @ Jul 31 2011, 08:42 AM) In 23 years of seeing Rush live, I've never once had to go to the bathroom during a show. There's an appropriate song from the album called Before And After. Seriously...Before and after are the times for beer, and intermission is more thyan long enough to hit the head. If I couldn't make it 90 min without as fresh beer or a trip to the pisser, I guess I'd just save the concert cash, set up a cooler with a case on ice next to the couch, plug in R30, and have at it. I wonder how many of the haters posting in this thread are the dudes squeezing by and spilling beer on us every 20 minutes during the show?

Mika Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 QUOTE (InvisibleAirwaves13 @ Jul 30 2011, 09:17 PM) Time enough for a bathroom break when the concert is over. Bravado? Man, that is an awesome song. BTW...I really dug Faithless this tour as well! I really liked 'Faithless' as well! And why, WHY would anyone rather go off and void their bladder than soak up all the Rush that they can? Go before the show. Go at intermission. Go after the show. If you have to go more than that, maybe ease off on the beer a little, I dunno.... I want to support this awesome band by being with them for the whole show. How would Rush feel if they saw numerous people excusing themselves at the start of a song that they're playing for us to enjoy? But to each their own, I guess....

J2112YYZ Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I never go for bathroom breaks in the middle of a set for any band i've gone to see or will go to see play in the furture. At the most i'll sit down during a song I don't like or during a solo. Other than that I don't leave while a band I payed my money to see is playing. I don't feel the need to drink that much alcohol or any at all when I go to concerts. The experience of seeing a band I love play live is sensation enough for me and I don't need beer to enhance that. The most I do when it comes to drinking is I sometimes get a bottle of water and slowly sip on the throughout the course of the night. If you pace it out right the whole bottle can last you the entire set and since you're not chugging it all down at once there's no need for a bathroom break.

Albone2112 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 If you're in that big a hurry, you could go in the women's restroom, seeing as it's usually empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shail Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 the pathetic drum solo. perfect time to take a piss. i never like to miss one song not matter how much i don't dig it. pretty much love the entire set list. but if you have to go shit hoss no stopping that. his solo is not that bad. if it was 1983 then yes i would be glued to my seat with my jaw wide open in awe.

That being said, I am like J2112YYZ... a bottle of water to sip. Bathroom break at intermission. The last 2 shows, I didn't even do that. Did the same for Genesis in '07. Went before the show and treasured every moment of those last 2 shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobW Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I usually try to avoid missing any part of any show for a bathroom break if If can help it, but sometimes nature calls...And it's usually a mad rush for the can at halftime or at the end, so that isn't always the greatest time to go, either... On the Vapor Trails tour back in Nov. 2002 I went to the concert not knowing the set list. I made it well into the second set but got to the point where I just had to go. It was during the drum solo that I decided "screw it, I have to go, no matter what song is next..." As I headed towards the john, the drum solo ended and they started playing "Resist" (acoustic), and I was quite happy at my timing...So I get to the can, and as I'm taking care of business I overhear two guys complaining about how "Rush doesn't play any of their old stuff anymore, blah, blah.."...As I left they were hanging around, still complaining, and as I get back in and heading back to my seat Resist ends, the lights go black, and I hear the intro of 2112. Perfect Saw them twice on the S&A tour and had great bladder timing - didn't miss one minute of either show. At the Time Machine Tour show last year, I knew the set list going in. It was at the MN State Fair and I got there a couple of hours before the show to partake in some of the State Fair eats and stuff and so I pretty much knew I'd have to take a break or two at some point. Since I knew the set list I kind of planned the best spots to go. I'm not a big fan of most of the S&A stuff, so I went right after LTTA during Faithless to beat the halftime crowd and hopefully make it through to the end of the show (I really didn't want to miss any of the 2nd set) , but I ended up having to go again so I went right after 2112, during Far Cry. Got back to my seat with plenty of time to spare and thoroughly enjoy La Villa Strangiato and the end of the show with an empty bladder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushFanForever Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I am thankful I got to see the entire Rush concert on The Time Machine Tour without having to go for a washroom break. I did my duties before the concert and did not have anything to eat or drink during the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyRulz Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 My "bathroom break" song is "Red Sector A." I don't like the song much at all, and it's better to be in the bathroom THEN, rather than during intermission, when everyone's going. They played "RSA" on the VT tour, which I saw three times. I knew just when "RSA" was coming up, and I'd bolt for the men's room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
