My understanding is that when you buy a CD from an artist on a major  
label at a concert, the artist keeps the majority of the money.  
Supposedly the artists are able to purchase the CDs near cost and keep  
most of the money from concert sales. Of course, every contract can be  
different.

With local artists who just pass the hat I try to purchase a CD instead  
of just leaving cash. Its hit or miss, in that local groups often  
change lineups so fast the CD doesn't have the same people or sound as  
the performance, but its fun to chat with the musicians.
