"Basically, you've got to dress to impress. Don't show up in your dirty knickers and your flip-flops. You should be wearing your finest: black tie if possible."Obviously, Mr. Yauch has never attended a festival as a concert-goer. At a festival, a concert-goer's main needs and concerns are comfortable shoes (such as flip-flops), sunscreen, food and water -- not formal wear.
By the time the Beastie Boys take the stage at the Sasquatch Music Festival, I guarantee our knickers will be dirty (or possibly lost) and our flip-flops full of grass and dirt (or possibly lost).

you heard the man! dress to impress dammit! ;D
Is it sufficient if I wear fancy knickers?
I could wear a bow tie.
:P
whatever makes the boss man happy!! ;)
I'm going to be dressing for comfort. It's hard to stay clean all day.
If it wasn't a festival, I'd dress to impress for sure.
ill dress to impress at one of the shows...
I will dress to impress at a non-festival show.
Prolly Paris.
I strongly suggest no flip flops. You're going to lose a toenail!
If I can successfully wear flip-flops to Rage Against the Machine at Coachella, I think I can wear them at Sasquatch. I wouldn't wear flip-flops inside a venue (like at a proper show), but outside, they're perfect.
I'm mighty impressed by the Rage story. But that might have been just luck. My friend lost several toenails at a Pumpkins outdoor show. I'm just putting the information out there for your benefit. Plus you should have some arch support, if you're going to be standing all day. :-P
It doesn't matter what I wear on my feet. Jenny's new Adidas are going to put everybody's feet to shame.
I just paid a visit to the tailor this morning... you wont miss me on the night of the Gala

Them Adidas shall be busted out at Squatchenheimer Fest fo sho. I'm plain stoopid right now. Woo!

Hey, I wore a tuxedo to the Beasties' London gig in 2004 but so many people didn't bother to make an effort. Black Tie all the way.
I played a sort of Shazam! superhero for the 2004 gig in Milan! :b It's on the awesome DVD!!! I shall now undress to impress! LOL!
Knickers? Is he British now?
The Observer is published in London. He's just using regional-appropriate language.
wouldn't a west be something you could be impressing with at a festival?
@ Friis: Huh?
I went shopping in Seattle yesterday and bought a special Gala event outfit for the Croc Cafe show tonight.
