@mcc my least favorite thing about the music industry these days is that most artists can't expect music royalties to exist, and so they have to make a living almost entirely from touring. So, the $10-$20 mid-tier touring act shows (500-1500 capacity venues) that I loved so much during the 90s and 00s are kinda gone. You have to go smaller, now, to get that kind of deal.

I used to get mad at artists for charging anything over about $25, but now I just feel sad for the kids.
