Back then, they toured to sell records. Today they release music so they can go on tour.

But most artists don’t make a lot on streaming.

They make all their money on tour, hence the ridiculous ticket prices.

They try to make money on tour--and they do--but ticketmaster's gotta make their cut no matter what. Even if it means a band backs out of venues, doesnt matter to them- you play their game or you dont play.

This is what happens when Ticketmater is the only entity selling tickets.

Cap Center, Cellar Door Productions. God, the memories of the amazing concerts there. And at 930. And at dc space. And at Patriot Center. And at Merriweather.

God.

Is Merriweather the outdoor pavilion? I saw Depeche Mode there in '87

I probably seen nore than a dozen bands at 9:30 Club. Mostly I don't remember which bands except Book of Love, Doctor & The Medics, Gene Loves Jezebel, Jesus & Mary Chain

Do you remember the venue in DC bigger than 9:30 Club? I definitely saw The Cure, Love & Rockets, Tears for Fear, The Smiths somewhere but I can't remember where
