I can affirm this. I have been to way more concerts over the last few years.
The question shouldn't be are people spending less on CDs, the questions should be are peopel spending less on music in general. I easily make up for what I don't pay for in CDs on concerts. Not to mention the booze and food I buy at those concerts.
If some big acts are forced to put more shows on their tours... well tough for them. Maybe the day of the bloated music tour is over. Personally, I'd rather have 10 guys making a million bucks each than one guy making it all.
