I can't decide if it is awesome they are still going, or sad they look like old ladies.

    Both but as long as they can still do it does it really matter? Sit in upper deck and you wouldn't tell the difference

    I think Keith just puts that on for Mick. He looked much better playing with EC at the Crossroads Festival.




    And it's definitely good. They've lived the hardest easy life any of us could ever hope for..... And are still alive to tell the tale. It's all good.
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    Fuck it. They're still having fun. The crowd's having fun. Once when of those changes, it's time to pull the plug.

    all i can say is saw them in toronto second night and they could still bring it. a show not to be missed. first saw them in 76'. most bands their age can't do what they seem to be able to do. but if you didn't see them too bad cause its probably done.

    Saw the show in LA this year. Was sick. Those guys are amazing.

    Had a total blast.

    Dirty Work was a low point creatively as well as fashion wise.

    All accounts are that they knocked it out of the park at Glastonbury. I seen four shows this tour and this is the best they've played since 1994 IMO. Seeing them perform both Sway and Can't You Hear Me Knocking with Mick Taylor is something that I only dreamed about a few years back.

    Still taking risks at this stage too...played to one of their biggest audiences, comprised mostly of young fans, on Saturday and pulled out 2000 Light Years From Home and a reworked "Factory Girl".

    There's a reason why PJ and the Stones respect each other so much....both know how to deliver it live!
    There's Pearl Jam, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Robert Johnson......and then everybody else.

    let the fans decide their fate, because that is exactly what happened starting out

    Wow, it really looks like that could be the cast for a Golden Girls redux.

    Feeling like I do at a few weeks shy of 62 and looking at the OP photo I'd say, shit man, those guys are fucking amazing!

    Having just seen them at Glastonbury I will say that they are still AWESOME...

    They smashed it at on Saturday night and it became the best gig I have ever been to, Mick has so much energy, Keith looked like he was loving it, Ronnie played like a god and as for Charlie Watts I love that guy, he's 72 years old today and still looks the best out of the group, is cool as f%ck and was on fire on the drums.

    With performances as good as Saturday I say keep going....

    Not old ladies – old men, just as they are

    They're fucking awesome, the longer these living legends play the better. I'd rather that then let the One Directions of the world take over. *shudder*

    I've always enjoyed the fact they're so old. It's adds another level of coolness to what they do. Mick Jagger is the same age as my dad, something that's always amazed me, considering how little energy he has while Mick runs around and dances for hours on end. Meanwhile my old man can get tired sitting at a desk. I'm 33 and I don't even have the same energy as Mick. I'd be tapping out and calling for an ambulance before we even got to Keith's set.

    Can you imagine how many miles Mick has run over the years?

    Those fingers are probably getting tired as well.
