...I've been a pro musician for half my life and I can tell
you that the record companies and publishing companies get
most of your royalties. The artists get very little. That's
why so many big bands still tour. It's their only way to
make any money.

I had the impression that most tours are NOT profit makers.
There are lighting, multimedia, staging, insurance, roadie
costs.. etc.

Ticket systems are another joke/ripoff. They allow large groups
of tickets to be sold and then those same tickets get scalped
to desparate fans. The performer doesn't get the benefit of
the increased prices.
