If one of them said in 1965 that they envisioned themselves playing in front of 50000 in 2022 they would have been considered insane.

And yet...

I remember looking up at the stage and going, "This is ridiculous. These guys are the same age as my parents."

That was 1989...

Ahem... considering the unfortunate demise of the greatly missed Charlie Watts, I believe this tour should actually be named the "We're (Mostly) Not Dead Yet" tour.

It is what it is.

Screw that. I saw them a few months ago. Mick could out run, out-dance and out-@#$%& anyone on this forum. Simultaneously.

Keith and Ronnie were playing best I have heard in 30 years.

Who dresses them?

It's not a popular opinion but the new drummer is better than Charlie.

They should fire Ron Wood and bring back Mick Taylor.

Saw them in October. Agreed.

Rolling Stones were always just radio music to me - never really wanted to buy their albums. Went to a 3 day mega concert a few years ago that had them, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, the Who, Neil Young and Roger Waters (playing all the Pink Floyd stuff).

They were probably the best act of the three days (although McCartney and Waters were pretty amazing too.) This was before ‘ol Charlie kicked the bucket, and I kept internally marvelling how these (4 old) guys even survived all these years, not to mention putting on a show that seemed fresh after 55+ years.

That's when I saw them, and I was soooo glad I caught them "before they died or retired"!

And to think we were joking that the Steel Wheels tour should have been the Steel Wheelchairs tour, back in '89!
