Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsMick Jagger is impressive at 69.
Just watching the Sandy concert, he is still a live wire, full of energy, performing full tilt, and the Stones sound great.
same with the Youtube clips of the recent English concerts the Stones performed in late November.
It is a shock to realize that most remaining stars from the '60s are hitting the age of 70.
Rock until you drop.

(102,306 posts)or supplemental weight workout, I need to put on a DVD of Jagger and the Stones. Geebus! I didn't have that kind of raw energy when I was 20 and I didn't abuse drugs like most of them did. Geebus!

dancing all over the stage, limber as could be, looking effortless?
Sure, that's geriatric.

(44,577 posts)THAT'S what made them sound old and tired to me. The Who are impressing me more because though they're standing still, it doesn't sound as though they've lost a step.

(5,810 posts)I mean really....he was strutting all over that stage like he did when he was a pup back in the 60s. Give the guy a break. I thought their set was pretty awesome, no matter what his age is.
This whole concert has been one for the books. My only issue is that listening to it at home the sound is not as good as it might be. I realize there could be problems having it sound good in person, vs. for broadcast. But all in all it has been one hell of a concert. Can you imagine that audience getting to see all those people in ONE night!???? They will remember this one for a long, long time.
And one more time....Mick ruled during his set. He has nothing to apologize for. Rock on, Baby!
Billy Joel on now! Wow!! This just gets better and better and he really has held up, too. His performance was stellar.
