suites Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I was following the Allman Brothers gig in NYC this month and wondering when they bring in the special guests do they pay them or at least pay the travel costs. Like the Last Waltz, any special guests get paid over time or did they sign rights away. What about tribute concerts like the Dylan fest with all the big boys (Harrision, Neil......) Anyone have any insight to this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I was wondering about that also - in terms of the live cds they sell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dondoboy Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I think it all depends. I know there is a "re-use" clause in live album contracts that pays out to performers. I assume that means all performers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deepseacatfish Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I would imagine at least travel costs are covered, and in some cases (particularly tribute concerts) they are probably paid by the organizer, and probably well. In the case of something like the Last Waltz I would guess there wasn't much pay involved beyond bringing the particular performers in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I think most of the guest performers in the Last Waltz got paid in blow. And turkey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
embiggen Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 more importantly, do they get laid? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
