The Stones play Rio

Something about this is just wrong.

Forget the fact that Mick Jagger is 62.

Forget the fact that the police had to occupy several poor areas near the concert to prevent violence.

Forget the fact that the band was separated from fans by a VIP area.

Let's focus on the city of Rio paying $750,000 to host the concert. Which is about 16% of the cost of putting the show on. $750,00 is to 16% as X is to 100%.

It cost around $4.7 MILLION to have the Stones play?

What is wrong with this picture?
