Topic: PERFORMERS IN THE LATE 60TIES AND 70TIES

Am I right if I write that in those years, a band started touring when they had a brand new album?
I don't believe they were able to make profit. They lost money by touring across the country.
Probably some bands could put money aside, but who?
Building a stage, touring in a bus, and perform.
Roadies, professional guitar tuners and all the SHARKS in their slipstream.

I had for a period of 15 years the privilege to be a Back Stage Doc. The artists were great, but all the others, road managers, bodyguards, they were real "evil".

Re: PERFORMERS IN THE LATE 60TIES AND 70TIES

doc if they were touring they must have had an agent booking them unless they were gypsies so they must have made some money i toured for over 40 yrs with bands and made a good living unless they booked themselves, bad planning somewhere
