Joe Smith বলেছেন...: He's never had the greatest voice but he has the swagger...necessary for a front man.

Looks good too.

Who says drugs are bad for you?; ১/৫/২৪, ৩:৪৬ PM
David53 বলেছেন...: One of my favorite Stone’s songs. Last time I saw them was 1975 in Dallas, The Eagles opened for them. Jagger was electrifying, The Eagles sounded like a good studio band. It was very hot.; ১/৫/২৪, ৩:৫৩ PM
MadisonMan বলেছেন...: I'm amazed that his voice has held up. He must have had great vocal coaches telling him the way to protect his vocal cords.; ১/৫/২৪, ৩:৫৭ PM
Howard বলেছেন...: Is he singing there with Kamala Harris? Wow I'm impressed she's getting Mick Jagger to help with the campaign. Willie Brown must be jealous.; ১/৫/২৪, ৪:২০ PM
Iman বলেছেন...: An Update:

A reporter asked… “Are you more satisfied now?”

Mick Jagger: “Financially satisfied. Philosophically trying. Sexually?… bugger off, mate.”; ১/৫/২৪, ৪:২২ PM
AMDG বলেছেন...: Jagger is only a year younger than Joe Biden.; ১/৫/২৪, ৪:২৩ PM
Iman বলেছেন...: David53 @3:53PM…

That tour was the one where he came out on stage on a giant hand, per my recollection. “Starfucker” was one of the best ones performed!; ১/৫/২৪, ৪:২৫ PM
Iman বলেছেন...: এই মন্তব্যটি লেখক দ্বারা সরানো হয়েছে।; ১/৫/২৪, ৪:২৭ PM
NKP বলেছেন...: A shame he's not eligible to be on the ticket with The Donald. Rock on, Mick!; ১/৫/২৪, ৪:৪৫ PM
The Real Andrew বলেছেন...: Saw the Stones in Cleveland, in ‘88 or ‘89.

They went back and forth between their classics (everyone went crazy, crowd screams, cig lighters held high, pandemonium), and their new-at-the-time songs (polite woos and applause, people chatting while they were playing).

At one point Mick shouted, “Do you want to hear more new songs?!”

The crowd reaction reminded me of the “Yay” after “And there was much rejoicing” in Monty Python’s Holy Grail.

But when they performed the old songs, they were on fire.; ১/৫/২৪, ৪:৫০ PM
BUMBLE BEE বলেছেন...: 72 with Wonderlove, 2015 Zipcode. My ears rang for days after.; ১/৫/২৪, ৫:৪৩ PM
Butkus51 বলেছেন...: saw them in 1979 when they were old men.; ১/৫/২৪, ৫:৫০ PM
AZ Bob বলেছেন...: Mick is and always has been a serious professional. His indulgence in drugs was minimal. He trains to get himself in shape before tours necessitated by the amount of dancing and running on stage he does. He takes care of his voice like most singers do.

Keith on the other hand went the other way and his voice suffered. He gave up heavy drugs awhile ago and the word is that he recently gave up smoking and booze. He seems to be enjoying life even more. He is hilarious in Pirates of the Caribbean.

The Stones were on a hitting streak with Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street. Some Girls has also stood the test of time.; ১/৫/২৪, ৬:১০ PM
Breezy বলেছেন...: Awesome. Long live Jagger!; ১/৫/২৪, ৬:১৫ PM
Mike (MJB Wolf) বলেছেন...: That’s how a sharp 80-year-old acts. Bet he had more activity than one online fundraiser on his daily schedule too.; ১/৫/২৪, ৬:৩৭ PM
Ironclad বলেছেন...: Saw him Sunday in Houston for the tour kick off show. Amazing energy and a superb performance. His backup singer in the picture did 2 numbers with him - gimme shelter she really did well.

The rest of the band is lower energy - but all did a good job.; ১/৫/২৪, ৬:৩৯ PM
effinayright বলেছেন...: I saw the Stone perform in Mannheim, Germany back in 1973.

The crowd was unimpressed by "Dead Flowers", offering only very tepid applause.

Mick's response was: "Aw, ya really liked that one, dintcha..."

heh; ১/৫/২৪, ৬:৪৬ PM
John Holland বলেছেন...: Mick sounds great now. Much better than he did when I saw them in 1981 at the Pontiac Silverdome. That wasn't singing, that was hollering.; ১/৫/২৪, ৬:৪৭ PM
gilbar বলেছেন...: didn't he die a while back? Like in the early '90's?; ১/৫/২৪, ৭:১৫ PM
David53 বলেছেন...: "Dead Flowers" is a song you can sing when you're drunk with your buddies because you don't need much of a voice to sing it.

And hey! The Kentucky Derby is this weekend, is this Ann's lead-in to the weekend?

Second verse,

Well, when you're sitting back in your rose pink Cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon
And another girl can take my pain away; ১/৫/২৪, ৭:৪৫ PM
Jim at বলেছেন...: Fourth row. Tacoma Dome. 2002. The 40 Licks Tour.
Ended up with Richards' guitar pick. Still have it.; ১/৫/২৪, ৭:৪৫ PM
William বলেছেন...: He defied time for a long time, but time looks like it's getting in the last word....Have a pretty girl do the back up dance up front and no one will notice the lame moves....Biden should walk to the plane with a pretty girl in a mini skirt and people will stop noticing his halting gait.; ১/৫/২৪, ৮:১১ PM
Chuck বলেছেন...: A great song, and one of the best singalongs that the Stones ever did; "Dead Flowers."

The vocals on the original Sticky Fingers recording was tricky; it was of course Mick Jagger on the lead vocals (playing off the magnificent guitar work by the brilliant Mick Taylor). But the backing vocals were Mick, again, with Keith Richards. Missing ol' Keef in this video. As good a lead singer as Mick was, he was laughably fantastic as a backing vocalist. When Richards did the lead vocals on "Happy," with Jagger as backing vocalist, Mick ended up the track taking over.; ১/৫/২৪, ৮:৩২ PM
Mary Beth বলেছেন...: The Stones tour is sponsored by AARP. That's hilarious.; ১/৫/২৪, ৮:৪৪ PM
Yancey Ward বলেছেন...: Thread winner:

"saw them in 1979 when they were old men."; ১/৫/২৪, ৯:৩৯ PM
Caroline বলেছেন...: Looks like he’s warming up for the jazz fest appearance tomorrow . I’m in New Orleans, visiting family. Everybody’s super jazzed about the stones tomorrow afternoon. One for the ages. Nieces and nephews going.; ১/৫/২৪, ১০:০০ PM

jerpod বলেছেন...: In 1975 I had just completed my first year in college and wanted to see them for the first time in Kansas City. Still had to get my parents approval. I told my mom, truthfully, that everybody says this could be The Rolling Stones last tour....this could be my last chance to see them. Mom said yes (thanks Mom, really!). Seen them three times since over the years, but there's nothing like the first time.; ১/৫/২৪, ১০:০১ PM
Mrs. X বলেছেন...: Mick sounds great! (He looks pretty good too, if wrinkly.) We saw Paul McCartney at the Meadowlands two years ago. He put on a great show, but his voice had an old-guy wobble. Not Mick, at least not in this clip.; ১/৫/২৪, ১০:৫১ PM
donald বলেছেন...: Dead Flowers came out of Keef meeting Gram. Unfortunately so did Far Away Eyes.

I love ‘em, but the idea paying multiple hundreds of dollars for a way past their prime Stones is not for the guy who saw them in Atlanta in 75, 78 and 81 (Last two at the Fox). Also the Superdome in 81 which was neat. Seeing them at Grant Field on the Steel Wheel tour was really disappointing.; ২/৫/২৪, ৯:৩৮ AM
Lars Porsena বলেছেন...: Like Old Man River..he just keeps rolling along.; ২/৫/২৪, ৯:৪৬ AM
Václav Patrik Šulik বলেছেন...: He and Roger Daltrey are both 80, but he still has it. I'm really surprised. (Dead Flowers is a vastly underrated song.); ৩/৫/২৪, ১:২৫ PM
