Why did the whole band wear black at Wrigley?

edited August 2013 in The Porch
I've only seen a band do this one time before at it was DMB night #2 at Fenway Park in 2006.
(The first night they wore whatever they wanted)
I figured there must be a "stadium / ball park" reason yes?

Do they show up better on the video screens?

    I'm guessing it has something to do with the Illuminati. One of those Freemason deals. :roll:

    In London, each band member wore a black shirt(T-shirt or other) here's hoping its a video thing and they release a DVD.

    Metallica always wears all black. Pink Floyd wore all black when they performed The Wall shows, presumably to stand out against the white wall behind them.

    It's so the batter can clearly see the ball after if leaves the pitches hand.

    This could be legit. Anybody else notice that the guys talking sounds exactly like Jeff Bridges, AKA "The Dude", who looks an aweful lot like Ed???

    He also failed to reference that San Diego means "A Whales Vagina"...

    My wife noticed that too when videos of the London show were posted. The only thing we could think of,was this some sort of a statement after the Treyvon Martin case? They played London only a few days after the verdict was announced, so it may make sense.

    Black is slimming and the camera adds ten pounds. They knew between the cameras for the screens by the stage and the 20,000 video/pictures being taken they would look huge.

    Again, I have to mention that DMB did the same thing at Fenway in 2006.
    There has to be a connection to outdoor screen projections in ballparks?

    Oops, I quoted the wrong post. The guy in the video that thinks that PJ's new album cover is giving a message about the rapture is crazy.
