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.

    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"...
