I see that Paul is going back to Brazil. Seems that Latin America (yes, I know Brazil really isn't a "Latin" country) is a very favorite place for Paul to tour. Now, I can guess why he hasn't done Africa, and I can guess why he hasn't done the Phillipines. I know the Aussies feel he's leaving them out, but at least he had booked tours there before.
My question is, why do you think he has not done India. I would think that because of his 60s ashram days, he's vacationed in India in the last 10-15 years or so, they speak English, there is a thriving middle class educated according to the British system, etc, he would have played there. Any guesses? I think they would go bonkers over a "Desi" tour by Paul.

I thought this thread was going to announce that Paul has gone into the tour guide business and doing his own BeatlemaniacTours.

The Beatles never toured there in the 60's when they only charged $4.50 top price for a ticket...

But, does anyone know what the price range has been in Mexico, South America, and Israel? In addition, to think that India is so poor that it would be hard to find people to afford ticket prices is a meme about India. Yes, there are very, very poor people there. But, there IS a large middle class and the upper class is well-represented, too. There are many large cricket and field hockey stadiums that could host concerts.
