    Who knew rock and roll had so many rules and fashion do's and don'ts ...

    Wear whatever the hell you want to wear.

    I'll most certainly be wearing a Pearl Jam shirt, and I don't give a fuck what any one thinks.

    I'm going to be that girl.
    No time to be void or save up on life. You got to spend it all.

    No its really not, unless its a shirt you bought that night. I thought this was common knowledge until I went a Pearl Jam show and so many people were wearing them. I don't get it, I am pretty sure we know why you are here, its to see Pearl Jam, you don't need to wear a Pearl Jam shirt to the concert, we all know you like Pearl Jam. I tend to wear another band's t-shirt like the Who, Hendrix, Nirvana, or whatever is clean. We all know you like Pearl Jam, so why not express some of your other musical loves.

    Well that's dumb. :)

    Wear whatever you want! I know I will be! :D

    I say wear what ever makes you happy, even assless chaps. I would say though for guys it seems almost mandatory to wear cargo shorts. 99.999999% of the guys at Camden II had on cargo shorts. I felt so out of place wearing jeans.

    And I gotta say that flip-flops are NOT good concert attire. Unless you like your feet smelling like beer and possibly vomit, or you enjoy getting your bare feet stomped on by fellow fans.

    Bought a sweet Mike McCready shirt at the pre-show benefit party last night, I'll be rocking out in that at some upcoming shows I'll tell you what. Hopefully I'll win the lottery at MSG and be front row and Mike will see my awesome shirt and give me a whole box of picks, shirt, towel, maybe an amp...

    I used to be anti-wearing-band-shirts-to-their-shows...and now I do it at pretty much every PJ show I go to. I've already got my PJ shirts packed and ready for action for the MSG shows.

    The answer to this is- if you are down to earth, pretty cool and don't care what other people think & are proud of your status as loyal to the band, then yes, you can wear a PJ shirt to a PJ show.
    If, on the other hand, you are more like the girl who used to run Five Horizons, and flaunt your holier-than-thou, I make random rules as they pertain to the band, thinking you're a better fan than everyone else kind of attitude.. then no. Then it's not OK to wear your PJ shirt to a PJ show- but, if you're that kind of fan, then you automatically reserve the right to make fun of the fans who wear PJ shirts to PJ shows.

    Cargo shorts/pants are just convenient. I wear 'em all the time.

    I'm not knocking cargo shorts. God knows I have tons of them. I just thought it was pretty funny. It was actually my girlfriend who pointed it. She noticed that every guy around us was wearing cargo shorts. She was busting my chops that I wasn't a die hard fan because i wasn't wearing the proper attire.

    You should do what you want to do.

    And that's a stupid rule. (And pointless really)

    Screw that fashion police bullshit! I am THAT GUY at every PJ show. It's my favorite fucking band, I don't have to "act cool" there. I wear a PJ shirt, sing a long to every song, air guitar, everything.

    It was so cool to see people in a variety of Pearl Jam shirts at the concert. My daughter even changed into her new "tree" shirt before the concert started.

    Let people be free to be themselves without judgment. This isn't fashion week.
