That's a great way to sell CDs. It has always shocked me however that a fan
will buy a $25 Tshirt and sometimes not buy the $15 CD.

The $15 CD is probably easy to get later should you want it. The
particular $25 T-shirt is often only available at the show.

Plus, it's easier to look at a T-shirt and tell if you like it
than it is to look at a CD case and tell if you like the CD inside.
(You may have heard some of the songs that night, but unless you
already have the CD, you probably don't know the names of most
of the songs you heard, so you don't know if the CD has any songs
on it that you like.)
