    I wore my Wishlist Mike McCready tee and my No Code tour tee to the two Camden shows. Both got some really nice compliments. Ironically, the guy that gave me the nod on the No Code shirt was wearing his as well.

    I tried it once. The looks that I got convinced me not to do it again. ;)

    The best shirt I've seen at a PJ show was a plain white t-shirt that said "This is not a Pearl Jam Shirt." in permanent marker...classic.

    Rule #1
    Who really gives a fuck

    Rule #2
    The only people that DO give a fuck, take Jeremy Piven too seriously

    Rule # 3
    who gives a fuck

    Rule # 4
    Don't let what someone says in a movie dictate your life

    Rule #5
    Wear what ever the hell you want


    I wore a PJ shirt to Hartford and if I had an Eddie Vedder solo shirt, I would wear it to Boston
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    I never wear a bands shirt that I am going to see. Just for the fear of some drunken frat boy seeing the shirt and yelling "WOOOOOOO.....PEARRRRL JAM!!!" While he hoists a beer in the air. But, do what ya want man!

    i wore a PJ shirt at all 6 shows i did this tour.
    I think the only time i wore an 08 shirt was at the beacon, as all of my other shirts were smelly and dirty and sweaty!

    Honestly HOW many threads must we have on this? There was like a 6 page one right before the Pearl Jam tour. This is rock and roll, not an assembly of the united nations. Where whatever you want.

    I was thinking of wearing my red 2000 tour shirt with the gorilla holding a rifle to the Journey/Heart/Cheap Trick concert I'm going to next month.

    "9. No Beatles, Bob Marley or Jimi Hendrix t-shirts, unless you actually went to one of their concerts."

    Amen :).

    And I don't know what the issue is around here but do lighten up. Just because "you've" seen/had this thread (or any other thread before) doesn't mean everyone else has. I'm one of the hasn't and I'm digging it, thank you very much.

    I think the better question is - "is it OK to wear no shirt at a concert"?

    I don't wear concert shirts for one reason . . . . they're usually of crappy quality and not comfortable to wear.


    I wear my PJ shirts to the gym so I can thrash on them.
