remember though, that's GROSS income. Right off the top commissions get paid, the whole road crew's wages get paid, the trucks, the gas, all the hotel rooms for everyone, meals, airplane tickets, private chartered jets, all the additional musicians wages/hotels/plane tickets whatever. And managers get a % so that's 5 managers, and then the band members cut.. some getting more than others. So, while I wouldn't waste any time crying for them about their money, those figures don't represent what people in the band will take home. Still, one night's haul for just one band member is more than most people make in a year.
