Me and three of my friends from college were discussing how it sucks to have to go to the bathroom and wait in lines to go during concerts. For those of you who know Fenway, the bathrooms are small and nasty and you could expect a good wait if you have to go and nobody wants to miss any songs. So one of my friends suggested this, don't know if he was serious or not.. Its called the Gladder Bladder...

If you sell that outside the venue you can make a fortune considering the age average of stones fanst

I never go to the bog during a Stones show. I dont want to miss anything, so I do it right there.

I guess it proves I'm not always full of shit, then.....

KeithRichards, that is funny...

The last few shows I stuck with hard liquor drinks to avoid having to go to the bathroom every 5 minutes. Or you can just not drink at all and roll one up a spliff for the show.

took a pee in a cup at Little Rock!!!!!!!


usually wait for 1 of Keith's songs if I just have to go!!!!!

SMOKE DOPE more...DRINK LESS!!!!!!!!

You did it in a cup? Who got offered a free drink afterwards?

I mean, that way it's bound to end up on the ground anyway.

Oh, poor Keith, his songs are worth the listen.

really did pee in the CUP!!!!!

was about 22 rows back center stage on the floor..had a long shirt on and just DID IT!!!!!


was a misty rain that night and they plaed Far Away Eyes...Ronnin on the pedal steel

it was just one of those nights they were rockin...and I couldn't leave!!!!

and yes it did end up on the floor...but under my seat

Ounce of Prevention:

To more or less quote the estmeed Stonesdoug when this subject was broached last tour:

one word: bourbon (in my case - Irish Whiskey)

Great Topic!!

This is a seriously good idea for the European fan who has General Admission seating. My first two Stones shows were GA, and bathroom trips were a real issue. Not only did you have to fight (sometimes literally) your way back to your vantage point, often it became difficult to find the folks with you. I'm suprised RS.Com isn't marketing these Gladder Bladders!!

patent the idea and suggest it to them and they will. You have to hand it to rs.com, sooner or later they'll think of everything, no matter how tacky or tasteless

They'll probably send us an e-mail any day now advertising "Rolling Stones Incontinence Pads" which will be fitted with an alarm that plays either "everything is turning to gold" or "how can I stop" for 'number ones' and a choice of "you gotta move", 'Let It Loose' and 'Turd On The run' for 'number twos' . They will then release a special edition for the lady in your life which strikes up "Too much blood", "let it bleed" or "Moon is Up" for that inconvenient time of the month

... since you mentioned the ladies,
what do the ladies do in that case?
Just curious.

Maybe there's such a thing as a Rock 'n' Roll Diaper.

Buahahahaha! Gazza, now that's funny
But I guess Richard is right - diapers would sell very well too )

Rock 'n roll diaper!

LOL!!

-- Keep on rollin'. Keep on. Keep on. Keep on. --

i actually did wear a diaper (Depends) at a blues festival in SF in the mid-80's - worked like a charm. had a bit of a rash, later, of course....

I remember a guy peeing in a plastic bottle in 1990 and throwing it at the opening act - opened!

Bladder control is something we all should have under control by now. Go before the show and during the opening act. Van Halen, Doobie Brothers and Stones.....we had no bathroom breaks, water or food breaks because we didn't want to lose our place by the stage in 1978. It's not a football game, it's the Stones.

One of my interesting memories is the guy at Oakland Coliseum outside SF during BtB 1997. With four cups of beer. He drank all that beer, and as the show went by he just used the empty cups for taking a leak. Mid-way through the show I am sure he had a system to sort out incoming and outgoing. Personally, if I ever had to go out for a leak - may God forbid - it would have been through the middle of Tumbling Dice.

I took a DayQuil at the beginning of a show once and didn't have to go for about 5 hours!

Just piss on the guy in front of ya and then when he goes to clean up you move up closer to the stage! Pick ya mark though and just make sure he ain't a retired wrestler...or Bang..Wop..KAPOW!!!

Years ago I attended a Bob Dylan show. I had to wait for hours and hours to be
right in front. There was a great opening act with this guy from the Byrds playing
"8 miles high". Then Bob Dylan came on. I had to go to the toilet. Sadly I watched the
rest of the show from the back of the arena.

Never been to the toilet during a Stones show

If i need to take a leak during the show, i wait until they play "miss you". That is my bathroom song. Long enough to get to the bathroom, do what i need to do, and get back to my seat.

If you do need to go for a leak, go in the middle of a warhorse - for 2 reasons:

1. You've seen that song before and you'll see it again.
2. There won't be too many in the queue - unlike during the new songs and Keith's slot!

Personally, I just try to hold it in, but I don't really drink during the Stones performance.

The one exception was Twickenham where I tried to hold it in all the time, but finally had to go during SFM on the B stage. Damn! Still, at least I got the DVD to watch it...
