Last month, we posted an interesting look at just how much money certain shows make, comparing revenue and attendance from the big guns like Rob Zombie, Lamb of God and Megadeth as well as some smaller shows.

Apparently, this is a recurring feature on Billboard called Box Score, so we figured we'd update you with some new stats.

Live shows are where bands make most of their money. Here is a tally of some recent shows. Keep in mind these are gross profits, meaning this is before the venue takes a cut, promoters take a cut, manangers take a cut, production costs etc. This is just the total amount of money generated from ticket sales. The amount of money the bands actually take home is much less.
