West Chazy, New York | Before the internet changed the music industry the concert tour was to support the album; album sales drove the industry and the studios would often subsidize the tour for the promotion value. Now the sale of recorded music is an easy way to end up in the poorhouse, so the concert has to be the profit center. Consequently, the concert is no longer about the music as much as it is the stage show; lights, dancers, old has beens acting like they are still in high school, you get the idea. All that costs a lot of money, and everyone from the artist to the kid who hands him a bottle of water between songs has to be paid. | |
