Don't over-romantisize music. There are only 2 kinds of bands that don't "give one flying sh*t where their album stands on the national charts". Those are bands who haven't "made it" and...ok 1 kind of band. All professional musicians are concerned with how their albums are doing because they're just that, proffesionals.
Its a sign of whether or not people are connecting with their music. Why in god's name would anyone get up on stage and pour their heart out if they thought no one cared. There are only 2 measures of whether people like your music: album sales and concert sales. Note the word sales.
If you want to see people play for the love of it go to your local bar and watch a cover band. Everyone else has the same goal.
