Outside Europe, you find the largest percentage of Stones fans in New Zealand, Canada, Australia, Argentina and USA, while the largest number of Stones fans in total is by far in USA, where more than 2 million people saw the Stones live.
Financially, the Voodoo Lounge tour collected about 320 millon US dollars, fairly shared by 100 million dollars each in USA, Europe and the rest of the world. That's before expenses, as you know, the Stones had a few hundred people on their pay-roll, plus some heavy (and expensive) equipment moving around... Still, hopefully there were some money left for the boys as well, so that they feel it's worth doing again soon!
