I'm wondering how many times you were at a YES, ELP, Roger Waters, King Crimson or heck even a non prog band show and saw someone wearing a concert shirt you did not expect to see. You can also mention a major prog band if it was at a show that would be considered out of place for the most part(for example I saw a guy wearing a Yes shirt when I saw the Who back in 89).
I suppose obscure is a relative term and these days would not include Porcupine Tree or Dream Theater or even Marillion but I suppose most newer bands would qualify.
Here are a few that come to mind for me:
Amnesty International festival(Peter Gabriel, Tracy Chapman, Bruce Springsteen and Sting)-1988: When walking to get in I saw a guy wearing a Tangerine Dream t shirt.
King Crimson- 1995: Ozric Tentacles t shirt.
Yes- 2001: Progday t shirt
King Crimson- 2001: Porcupine Tree t shirt (they weren't really that big yet so it took me by surprise)
Yes-2004: I saw a guy who was probably in his late teens or early 20's wearing a Mars Volta t shirt(this was after the first but before the second MV album).
