10. The old days.

When concerts were done in open fields or parks, all that was needed was a sound system. Musicians had one manager/agent. Today too musicians seem to have a lot of people on the payroll, plus there are tour promoters with their staffs, venues that have to be booked/approved. Ticket sale don't cover all of that unless people get dangerously packed in. Long gone are the Woodstock days (btw, I read that concert wasn't initially supposed to be free, but after people overran fences and barriers, it got turned into a free concert. Maybe people that were old enough then can provide insight, I was born and growing up, but was young and not aware of such things).
