Its absolutely insane how fit these rolling stones are at their age.

imagine being 78 and being able to jump around like that and sing for a hour.

Mick is the same age as biden seems really funny to me.

Also funny to see these  20yo throwing themself at these guys.

Ackchyually  in the comments someone points out that this was actually a 2005 concert. I don't think a show like this would have happened in 2020 lol

73 still impressive though.

Is this the end of The Stones then?

Oh shit - if a member of the Rolling Stones can die, anyone can!  I was certain they would all outlive me.  RIP.

they're on tour.  have dates in US in a month i think. 

Ah, the death of a Rolling Stone.

While sad for his family and friends (condolences, of course) it does provide me with an opportunity to once again put forth that The Rolling Stones are the most overrated band in history.

If you want to listen to mediocre pub rock, there are tons of others that are nearly as good, if not better at it.

I feel they always got too much credit for following The Beatles’ lead, following the trends of each decade, but coasting after the 70s. As for touring, I think they will hire a seasoned drummer to finish the gigs and maybe beyond that. A lot of fans don’t even realize they’ve had a black bass player for almost 30 years after Bill Wyman quit, as he’s usually not included in band photos.

Coincidentally I just walked past a record store that had “Their Satanic Majesties Request” in the window. That’s not following the Beatles lead, that’s straight up plagiarism.

Plagiarism filled with mediocre pub rock, of course. That band truly is the very definition of middle class kitsch.
