I have just linked to this.
...What show was that?<br /><br />I have just linked to this.<br /><br />Let me just make some points/ask some questions in order. <br /><br />1. Love the music - request that you show us the version information in the post (sorry if you did and I missed it!).<br /><br />2. I love the columns you have selected for display. Key data. Very much like industry standard, like what I presented in my analysis of the <a href="http://jgmf.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-grateful-dead-top-grossing-act-of.html" rel="nofollow">GD as top-grossing act of 1991</a>.<br /><br />3. BIG: I'd love to hear more about your data and methodology. Where did you get your information. In terms of method, I think I have a sense of it - you used the data you had and you created year averages. I probably have *a lot* more data on this, if you're interested. In any case, I'd also love to talk data with you.<br /><br />3a. My narrowest request would be that you add another column and tell us, for every year, how many shows form the basis for your estimate. If it's like one, I'd like to know that.<br /><br />4. What kinds of dollars are these? Real dollars, nominal dollars, constant 1990 dollars, or something else?<br /><br />I don't expect you to really address all of these, by the way. There are just the questions in my head. Mostly I am grateful to you for doing this work and sharing it!Fate Musichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648291938690043423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456158327367398151.post-59105205269187136532016-01-03T21:37:25.802-08:002016-01-03T21:37:25.802-08:00Note that the band never received all the ticket r...Note that the band never received all the ticket revenues. When I tried to get the Jerry Band to come to my college in Maine in 1978, I was told the quote for a show was $6,000 for the band and $25,000 for the Grateful Dead. Thus perhaps the band would get something like 50% of the gate. I welcome people with more expertise to comment on these issues Grateful Secondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866611234014012885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456158327367398151.post-91122427595865012762016-01-03T21:33:01.951-08:002016-01-03T21:33:01.951-08:00Thanks for the comments.

It's interesting that with ticket price increases and larger venues, the 1990s Dead would gross more in ticket revenue per show than they did in entire 20 show tours in the mid-1975s. At the same time, the ticket revenue from the three Chicago FareThee Well shows were higher that the total ticket revenue the band shows generated during the 1960s and the 1970s combined.
