South American Billion Dollar Babies Tour 1974

There’s nothing quite like flogging a dead horse! This would end up
being the final time the band would ever perform live again in the
same compacity. It would be surprising if any band could survive such
a self-inflicted pace of constant touring, recording, excessive
drinking and health problems.

This short tour of South America was almost like Beatlemania had hit,
it was the first time a rock band had played the area. The band
arrived and they were mauled by the massive crowds waiting for them,
having to be escorted by armed police – armed with machine guns. The
shows varied in size – from huge indoor arenas to smaller couple
thousand seat venues. One concert actually set the record for the
largest indoor attendance – 150,000!

Not much is known about the tour, but the show would have been the
same as the previous Billion Dollar Babies Holiday Tour, with the
removal of Santa Claus. Audio does exist from one show on the tour,
possibly more.
