    I usually wear a PJ shirt wrapped around my naked torso. It makes me feel closer to home. On a serious note I wore a hendrix shirt to grand rapids.

    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.

    Totally buy them and never wear them, just the novelty of having Pearl Jam buttless chaps would be crazy upon itself.

    I wear a PJ shirt everywhere, to any concert, and most certainly to see PJ.Anyway it was kind of a stupid question like my girlfriend would ask.Wear whatever you want anywhere.Screw everyones opinion,think for yourself and be happy.Pearl Jam is the greatest band of our time!!!!!!

    I dunno it was just what I was taught(I don't know by who), just kinda stuck to it. I went to the Tampa show and my buddy going with me was like "You aren't going to wear a Pearl Jam shirt the show, are you?" I was like hell no, so obviously there is an unwritten rule somewhere.

    If its a shirt you bought that night,thats lamer in my opinion.Wear an old one and show your true patriotism to the band.

    It's from an indie movie call PCU...90's Gen-X hipster film...that's one of the classic lines from the movie- not to wore a shirt of the band you're seeing.

    Remember don't believe in everything you see/hear in movies. ;)

    I just figured it was acceptable since what the else are you gonna do with the shirt? Oh yeah put it in your sweet new Pearl Jam tote haha.

    I have a Choices t shirt but I was 5 when they were on Lollapalooza, so it certainly doesn't show any patriotism towards the band except for that the shirt kicks ass. The oldest shirt I have from a tour that I have actually been to is the scare crow from the Riot Act tour.

    Thats what my friend told me before the Tampa show haha! The quote obviously totally went over my head. I guess Ill have to watch all of PCU I have only seen a part of it, in high school Physics class as a matter of fact.
