Now some answers.
As it was pointed up, that is not what I said.
Funny, as I remember Billboard saying that Mexico, Lima, Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo and Rio were sold out.
I get your point but:
- They did two sold out gigs on Brasil, if they didn't play in front of 100.000 people is because they didn't added a third date.
- About the number ones, I never said that that was good, Tico said "Just look at album sales and concerts." and I was just pointing out that the band still sells records (not like other bands that couldn't stay relevant) and breaking records with their tours.
- And as it was pointed out, they can't be relevant everywhere, not even the rock and roll mesias and god of this forum (yeah, he's so ****ing awesome that gets to be the mesias and the god) Bruce Springsteen can do that.

Two simple things: The gig in Sao Paulo was really sold out. The other in Rio, wasnīt. Yeah, I was there and I can talk about it.
The fact is that the promoters of the show, only announced the gig in Sao Paulo. They made everyone here in Brazil think that only one show would happen. Everybody here in Rio (that I know) bought tickets for the SP gig, because of that. I almost bought. They only annouced the second date in Rio after SP one was almost sold out. I remember that I was really upset about that, because I wasnīt able to go to the most expected gig of my life. So, they annouced the Rio date remaining only one month to the show...and with very high prices. I spent about R$ 400,00 to go to the gig in the VIP area (here we didnīt have the Diamonds and golds ticktes).
They didnīt do any marketing work here...even put billboards around the city. No. And yet, Iīm sure that 15.000 people were there. And the venue was in a reform.
