I think Radiohead stated that self-distribution gave them more money 
than ever.  Don't know how much that compares to live performances 
though.  Typically, I heard it is about $1 per album sold goes to the 
band, which is a very low amount indeed.  A great article on the music 
industry and their extravagant spending is below.  It doesn't sound to 
me like the record companies are being fair to the consumers with such 
antics (passing costs on to paying customers)...
