Some songs have been overplayed on rock radio for years (Angie and Beast of Burden especially) but the longevity of the musicians' careers is stunning. and while I am not a huge fan of the Stones, it is superior to much of what passes as music today. Anyone have any memories from past tours? A lighthearted topic in the midst of reality.

What you say is true but I still think they should call it the “Walking Dead Tour”

Sir Mick Jagger and the boys have gotten more out of life that the law should allow.....the man is 75 years old, live a life of sex, drugs, rock and roll and is not only still alive but is out there still touring...

I remember a Science Fiction book, where the protagonist decides to listen to some Classical music in his spaceship.... you know, Bach, Beethoven, Jagger.....

Geriatric Rock!

Will they have wheelchair access ramps to the mosh pit?

I saw them last time they were in Buffalo - I got a free ticket (thankfully, because it was a $495 seat. 20 rows up on the sideline 25 yard line- great seats)

I don’t think anyone in the stadium (including nearly 60 year-old me) sat down once for 3 hours straight. It was the best show ever.

I last saw them 13 years ago. They were phenomenal.

How Keith is still alive is beyond comprehension. The man has done every drug known to man, drank like a fish and smokes god knows how many cigarettes. And he is still drinking smoking and smoking pot. Unreal.

My sentiments as well.

There was a time they had Mick Taylor in the line up.
Another time they whooed Rory Gallagher.

It would have crashed, 3 headliners... Kablammo!

I saw the original Rolling Stones during their 1966 American tour. Never imagined they would still be at it.

Pass. However, definitely one of my favorite all time bands. I’ll listen to my pre 70s Stones, at home.

At 75, I’d be seriously thinking about where I want to spend eternity, did I live to glorify God and keep his commandments, did I bring people to Christ, am I covered by the blood in the judgement, etc. etc. And reading my Bible everyday and the good news of forgiveness and the gospel. Especially if I lived a life of writing, singing and performing unGodly music, and a life of sex, drugs and rock and roll.

But hey, that’s just me.

Saw them in Raleigh, NC at NC State in 1988?

Jagger started Sympathy for the Devil while standing on the top of the light stage...

The whole show was a huge sing a long with Mick.
