So Frank Sinatra didn't make a lot of money off record sales in the 1950s? Elvis Presley didn't make a lot of money off a record sales in the same time?
The cost to make those live performances, at the venues the fans have become accustomed to, with the way the fans have come to expect the production of those performances, is very high.
So what's that mean? Higher ticket prices. Fans won't pay 500 bucks for a regular seat. The recording aspect makes no money. What's the outlook? A vibrant music industry?
