Most of the music I bought recently was either the live music itself (i.e. the 
concert ticket), or cd's while at such concerts, in case I really liked the 
music that I heard.
Not sure if that helps, but I'm guessing I'm not the only one...
Maybe this just means to say, if you are doing concerts, make sure people can 
buy cd's right there, as they'll forget to do it online once they're back 
home. You have to catch them in the moment :)

sincerely,
Marije
