I don't know if this is accurate but it's interesting..

That list shows Dead & Co at $50,000. No possible way. Maybe add another zero to the end of that. 

Phil and Friends 40,000

Bob Weir and Ratdog 100,000

Phil for $40,000. Jill would never stand for that. 

Phil for $40K, DSO for $80K, Phish for $999,999+ and  7 Walkers for $10K?  
Doesn't make sense. 

I remember asking Barry what it would cost to hire DNB for a private event -- it was in the $20 - 30K range and that was a "locals" rate in 2020.

Back in 2009 Steve Kimock Band when he had Melvin & JGB singers were around $30-40K.

I remember a local promoter wanting to book PLQ in 2001. Didn't give a number, but when someone asked if it was $75K, he said it was way more than that, so probably at least double.

Rolling Stones for $5000+? I heard when Charlie was still alive, The Stones were $5 Million, with each core 4 member getting a cool million each, and the rest divvied up amongst the hired guns and crew.

That list seems very suspect.
