How long has it been since he has been down to Australia?
Does he go to Russia or Eastern European countries ever?
What about Canada or Mexico?
One might also mention Africa, but then most major artists only play there a handful of times, if even that.
He did a concert in Thailand in 2005, but I think that's the only Asian concert he's ever done.
He hasn't been to Australia in 20 years, touring there in 1958, 1960, 1970, 1979 & 1989.
He's played in Russia, Hungary, Poland & Turkey (& possibly other East European countries) in recent years.
No sure about Mexico off-hand, but he's certainly played in Canada many times (his very first tour was in Canada, & he's played there at least as recently as 2006).
And yes, he's played the African continent, when he played for a week or two in Saudi Arabia in 1978 (for US army bases though).
South America is a rarity, having played there only in 1992 & 1993 (though with another tour scheduled this year).
One unique visit was Iceland, where he played a few shows in late 1986.
The main country that's missing to me is Japan! The vast majority of big western acts have toured in Japan (even Chuck Berry recorded a fine live album there in 1981).
