95% of the people I know that go to jam band shows hold down jobs and are "normal." The amount of actual "wooks" at shows these days is very low. Talking about Phish shows here.

These aren't people that are following the band around the country, as you mentioned in the OP.

You used the fact "that they have hordes of people following them around the country" as evidence that their fans are the best.

Are their hordes of them, or not? Make up your mind.

Negative... A lot of punk and indie fans are collectors and purchase all that... Especially, the vinyl

Maybe it's a generational thing and the kids don't do that as much... But many people I know still do. Typically. The only digital files I have come free with the vinyl or I ripped from the CD.

People make vacations out of destination shows such as The Gorge in Washington, Madison Square Garden in NYC, Bill Graham Auditorium in San Francisco, etc...
