well, yeah, despite all the bullshit about playing other countries the bottom line is that they'll go where the most money is. They can make more money playing an arena show in the US - even though it might be their 2nd or 3rd trip to that city this tour - than they can in playing a stadium show in South America. Its also a lot easier to arrange logistically. They'll get several million for the free show in Rio so it'll be worth their while, helped also by the DVD and Tv rights and merchandise profits from a 1 million plus crowd, but its quite obvious they dont want to spend any more time in that part of the world than they have to, when they can make bigger profits from shows elsewhere
