I have said this before, but, in the early 80's, I was a teen and back then, you wanted concert tickets, you stood in line at places like Tower Records.My best friend and I decided we HAD to see the stones, because they were SO OLD, we would never see them again. So, we got the tickets, but, we had no ride to the concert in San Francisco. We convinced his parents to drive us, they got a room for all of us at the Wharf, dropped us off at Candlestick and told us to find our own way back to the Wharf. It, was an amazing concert. I met a girl on the bus back to the wharf, I bought some beer (ya, illegal, don't do it kiddos) and the whole evening was wonderful. Most of my friends have now passed, though my buddy is still around. I have seen the Stones several more times and I myself almost passed away. If I can ever find a way to bring my two adult children to a Stones concert, I am going to do it, you know, they are getting old.
I remember the days. 1987 at Dillard's in Mesa Arizona waiting for U2 tickets to the Rattle & Hum movie filming at Sun Devil Stadium with BB King for the opening act. The tickets were $5 to get in to see U2 live. 🤘🏼
Saw the Stones in 1965, saw them again in 1969 at Madison Square Garden, and once again in Denver in 1972. I was so lucky to see them again this year2024, in Orlando, Fla, Mick was just like he was all those years ago and the whole show presentation was spectacular!! Thank you, Rolling Stones for filling my life with music!!
That is awesome. I am 54 but had never been the right city, at the right time, or with the right "pre-sale" options to score a ticket. And I do remember as a young teen, when the one/some of them turned 40, and in Australia, at the time, 1980s, there were so many opinions about a rock band turning 40, and if they should retire etc. Crazy to think of that.
Right, biggest critic. 😆 I doubt that. But hey, whatever. I think their biggest critic are themselves. Then Paul McCartney because he's jealous they are still a band and the Beatles were never a band at all. Just a bunch of noise and subpar musical chops. The Beatles weren't anything special music wise. Most of what they played was already played in America, for decades before they arrived. The Stones and then Led Zeppelin are the 2 best bands in British music history. Followed by Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden.
@@patdow7720 I actually am not a big KISS fan, but I remember late 80s and early 90s they had quite a fans. I’d see their posters and merchandise everywhere
I highly recommend Keith’s book. ‘ life’. Amazingly he remembers it all and the book is like Keith. Honest, funny, a bit dangerous and passionate about the music. His life is Rock and roll.
it's amazing that McCartney,Dylan, and The Stones, latest stuff is as good or better than anyone currently on the charts. Yet, not close to their prime.
Goes to show that if you continue to stay active and enjoy yourself, you will extend your life, unfortunately Richard Simmons was depressed, living off of old glory, probably took depression meds.
I was so fortunate to see them in FL during their Bridge to Babylon tour. The audience was multi-generational and Mick’s energy was off the charts!! They are incredible ❤
I remember when the Stones first burst on the scene (yes, I'm that old m'self). I was always Stones. Many of my friends were Beatles, but I was Stones and still am. They are just as compelling now as they were back then.
I'm born 1980 but was force fed by my dad as a kid with Rolling Stones. "Stones people are the fun people" he said. He actually met them somewhere around Europe back in the day when rock stars were accessible. He'd seen Easy Rider and bought a motorbike and took off into Europe like a Swedish Dennis Hopper and met them somewhere.😂 Anyway. I'm glad he taught me what my favourite band was suppose to be.
Let's not forget the amazing Brian Jones, who helped create The Rolling Stones. These guys have been around for ages and have rubbed shoulders with many legends. It has been such an incredible journey!
@@charliedillon1400 Same with bassist Bill Wyman. He's on some of the tracks on the diamond album,but too bad he wasn't invited to perform on a show or 2 with the Stones on this past Tour. Both him and Taylor together would have been nice.
So unusual that they seem to honestly enjoy each other after all these years. Besides the music, they have been in business together for a very, very long time. They are some lucky gents!
My wife and I went to nearly the whole tour. That is me at 54 - 55 seconds in to the video. We stayed at the same hotels as the band although it was insanely expensive. Great quality shows and we were on the rail at every one of them. It is SO difficult getting onto that rail. We bought the early entrance tickets and then got in line at 6 in the morning on show day. They didn’t come on until about nine in the evening, so it was a very long tiring day keeping our spot in line.
@@eightiesmusic1984 many times over many tours starting back in 94. Had dinner with some of them a few times. Watched their kids grow up. Keith’s daughters are so friendly. Theodora and I do updated photos together every tour.
@@eightiesmusic1984 to say what were they like? Strikingly interesting and honest. All the times I ever spoke with them over many many years, I was always left with the impression they had been honest and gave very interesting answers to questions. Let me qualify that by saying I avoided the usual pointless questions they were weary of hearing. Instead I asked questions about current, future, and prior tours was my last try if I got that far. To me it seemed obvious to ask about current things since that is what they were out on the road for, and what they were most likely to want to share. Also I made sure to ask each person I spoke to about something that was personal to them. If you show HONEST interest in someone, they can tell pretty quickly. I’ve seen others ask the dumbest things and you could see the person they were trying to talk to all ready moving on. My wife and I have seen Ronnie and his wife Sally at most every city where we were there for a show. We stay at their hotels (I know. Crazy expensive) and because they have the twin girls we frequently see them out and about. Both are friendly and Sally kindly does update photos with my wife and they get a quick chat in that is very current. Asking Sally about her swimming is a great way to break the ice. Lots of times we met them at the pool and it was a relaxed area and a hello and and a question was easy. We go out of our way to leave them alone if they are on family time. So many others do not and it’s easy to see why they can get frustrated. In fact we have been invited to come get a photo with them just because we had left them to their own and minded our own business. So that was rewarding and every time we see them it’s a chance to build on them knowing us. It helps that we are always on the rail at every show. Keith, Mick, and Ron remember seeing certain repeat people at every show, and in many countries. They know what it takes for us to make that happen. We had a good visit with Keith and his wife 9n Europe at the hotel. That was one of the most expensive, but it turned out to be worth it. My wife kept bumping into them at the elevator as we were on the same floor. My wife had carefully selected some gifts for them, so she told Patti she was going to get them and drop them off at their room right then. Their girls used some of the girts to make a funny video immediately and we saw it online. Keith and his wife sent a personal thank you and then checked with us later to make sure we got it. That was cool. But the best was that my wife gave them a red do - ray kind of head covering wrapped around one of the gifts and Keith had it in his back pocket at the next show and for the rest of the tour. That meant a lot because it was personal. I must also say the Richard kids were always outstanding to talk to, and so I became familiar to them and watched them grow up over the years and tours. I make my own t shirts and Theodora loves them. Every time she sees me she asks if we can do a photo together. We have done photos with all of them. Sometimes if I judged that the time and mood was right, I would ask a personal question about those in their family they were closest to. It was always prefaced with a way out for them if they didn’t want to talk about it, but you would be surprised how candid they would be. One time in Vancouver I was at the bar in the lounge of the hotel with Bobby Keys. His son was there with him as he was helping out on that tour. I asked the son what it had been like growing up with his dad so often gone from home. Wow, that got Bobby’s attention and he moved closer. You could tell his son knew it was an important moment, that he was going to be able to give his father some important feelings. So there was always plenty of things to ask about if you were considerate. It’s not always easy to ask about how they were doing with certain family members. For example: I was always successful in talking with Chuck Leavell and his wife Rose. I have so many great photos with both of them. Once Chuck asked me for a shirt that he saw I had made and was wearing. I got one for him but it was way too big! He held it up in a photo beside me and it was like Arnold Swartz’s and Danny Devito side by side. Somehow I started messaging with Rose. She was so friendly and we just seemed to hit it off. This went on for years. Then we noticed Rose wasn’t as lively as she normally was. Since then it’s obvious things have changed. But when we see Chuck now we carefully stay away from asking about his wife. That is their business and no one else’s. I think Chuck appreciates us sparing him. This tour we met him many times around the hotel and pool. He gave some advice to my wife about some land she has owned in her family for all her life WHEN she asked him to. Who knows more about tree management than Chuck? Lots of stories of meeting with all,of them over the years. Including Charlie who was friendly and a perfect gentleman. I managed a couple times to speak alone with him and give him one of my designed shirts in his size. He walked into a diamond merchant store and asked for a nice bag to put it in, honestly. I will never forget that. The most important lesson I learned was from early on to become familiar with their security people. Some have been with the Stones for a very long time. You don’t start out by trying to walk up to the Stones asking questions. But if you become friendly with those who look after them, and they feel ok that your not going to do anything rash, they will help you out getting to say hello, or pass on a gift you might have for them. We have gotten so much back from some of their people. Now when my wife and I are on the rail at the shows, the security guys that patrol that zone between the stage and that rail, when they come past us we get a smile and a fist bump. It’s something small, but it contributes greatly to being in a good relationship with them. So I’ve bored you enough for now, but I have years of stories that are similar.
RIP Charlie. You understated genius who laid down the rhythm for the rest to follow. Don’t want to disrespect the new guy but in my eyes there’s nobody to outshine Charlie.
Charlie was the most talented guy in the band - as a drummer. Not to hate on drummers. He was one of the best. John Bonham and Ian Paice also come to mind
I am 72 and The Rolling Stones have been a part of my life since I was 13 when I Can’t Get No Satisfaction came out! Damn, I’m old, they’re old and we’re all still rocking on from that era! It’s truly wonderful!❤
Exactly, just imagine had the Beatles stuck together how different music history would of been. Do we get all the solo hits from each member, or would the band of done those songs. I just think the difference was the Beatles had for super egos that wanted to branch out on their own and succeed, the Stones are more like a close family and friends thing that never wanted to stop making music together.
@@majortom8047 my 2 brothers 10 yrs younger than them , but look 25 yrs younger. Their 73, 71 ,but look 62. I'm 64 but everyone tells me I look early 50's. Eating right, not smoking, not drinking, not taking drugs . The Stones are 80 but look 90 , like my uncle and aunt
Climbed into their last show in Berlin near Olympia stadium in the Forrest stage and it was from a whole mother planet. I saw Fleetwood Mack, Neil Young, Motörhead and a couple other legends.. but jagger is such a high flyer on stage. Their attitude and sound is just amazing. Kudos forever ❤
These guys are 🐐's of this music thing. What a journey and life they have lived through. It's astonishing how amazing they still are at performing live at their age. I re recently had the pleasure of finally seeing them for the first time ever. They are still better than most bands out there. Plus their love and enthusiasm for still wanting to do this is so awesome.
I was homeless, did drugs, went into prison, where I got to know God. He changed my life. Now I have a home, a wife and a lovely year old daughter (zoe), and a stream of income that gats me $47,000 weekly. Plus a new identity - a child of God, Hallelujah!!!🇺🇲❣️♥️❤️
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Kate Elizabeth Becherer) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her 😊 from Brisbane Australia🇦🇺
I was allowed to check in early to a hotel suite that had just been vacated by Joe Walsh. Housekeeping was working to clean up what was apparently a hell of a fast food fight. Good clean fun and Rock and Roll!
Although I’m not a Stones fan but I do respect their longevity,energy and talent. I’m 64 and simply amazed that Mick could run circles around me plus he’s only 8 months younger than President Biden. Rock On!!!!
The Stones took the childhood dream of being in a band with your mates and having a hit record and made it a lifelong phenomenon. It’s a one of a kind human experience.
@@C84__84It’s almost one of a kind. Let’s not forget Aerosmith who no longer does concerts. When you can have a 50 year career… You gotta be doing something right. Long live Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones. 🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨
Although I mostly stopped listening to the Stones many years ago I sometimes will listen to their older albums. I am glad though that they are so full of energy at 80 and on another tour and still friends who have stayed that way. I have never been to a Stones concert before.
They don't make them like this anymore. I love all kinds of contemporary stuff but remain in awe of these guys' longevity and the level at which they carry on. Great piece and great archival footage. As always, The Stones know how to manage their career, and the press!
Wow! How great the Stones are to this day!!! I find it so impressive that I was born July 1962 and the Stones have been a band that long and are still going!!!! I'm 62!!!! It makes it much easier to say I'm 62 when they are so great into their 80's!!!! I love you guys! Keep up the great music!!!! ❤❤❤
They have been a part of my life long music journey for six decades. They are a constant joy and they truly are a good as ever. As Ron Wood said, Mick’s voice is as good as ever so why not flaunt. I got to see/heard them in concert which is a treasured memory ❤️❤️❤️ love them dearly.
Grace Slick said something to the effect of it’s sad to watch Jagger dance around on stage at his age, but I disagree completely, they still rock! 👅 🤘🏻
I’d never seen them…figured I’d blown it… then this tour was announced…saw them back in May in Vegas…. Still amped…gray haired people with their kids…who also had gray hair…😀
I love the Stones, but it was a real mistake not to mention, Brian Jones. Many people believe Mr. Jones was the one formed and brought together The Rolling Stones!
It amazes me with the amount of drugs snd debauchery of these guys they are still going strong. I think it speaks to how much doing what you love keeps you young at heart.❤
Great interviews!! My goodness. I do looovvveee you guys. Im not sure which decade you were the best so, i think I will consider all decades where you are the greatest of all time. So grateful that you guys can still rock on!❤❤
THE ROLLING STONES ARE SIMPLY FOREVER AND WILL BE THE LAST TO TURN OUT THE LIGHTS. THE WORLD'S GREATEST ROCK-N-ROLL BAND. THAT DEBATE HAS LONG SINCE BEEN PUT TO REST.
@@timbruce8366 I've heard quite a bit since the 60s, but most of their stuff was more secondary in my personal preferences. If it was on the radio I might not switch stations, but I never bought any albums, just a few 45s.
I saw them at Soldier Field in Chicago Illinois in 1976, I was 16 and drove from Monmouth Illinois which is about 4 hours out. I drove my 1969 Dodge Charger and had my driver's license only 3 months!!! I grew up that whole experience that two days!! Wild Horses couldn't drag me away, thanks mom and dad.
The creativity the Stones bring to life and to other people, it's your mind, your talents when you learn to tap that source, you will truly have defeated age.
This may sound weird but congratulations Stones for not only giving us awesome rock ‘n’ roll since I was just a knee-high to a grasshopper, but good grief you guys are all in pretty good shape. No tummy sticking out in these pictures.🙂↔️
I have been a Rolling Stones fan from the age on 9, when my Sister gave me a Stones album for my Birthday, I first saw them live in 1975, as the years have gone by, I have seen them 54 times, in the States, Canada, and over the pond, they are the greatest Rock-n-Roll band in the World.
they’re 80 and still performing with such amazing energy, there will never be another act with such history and talent
Exacto 🎉 yo me quedo así 😮
Love how Mick, Keith and Ronnie still keep Charlie alive for us!
I can't imagine a world without the Stones. Rock on!
They suck so bad.

This tour we met him many times around the hotel and pool. He gave some advice to my wife about some land she has owned in her family for all her life WHEN she asked him to. Who knows more about tree management than Chuck? Lots of stories of meeting with all,of them over the years. Including Charlie who was friendly and a perfect gentleman. I managed a couple times to speak alone with him and give him one of my designed shirts in his size. He walked into a diamond merchant store and asked for a nice bag to put it in, honestly. I will never forget that. The most important lesson I learned was from early on to become familiar with their security people. Some have been with the Stones for a very long time. You don’t start out by trying to walk up to the Stones asking questions. But if you become friendly with those who look after them, and they feel ok that your not going to do anything rash, they will help you out getting to say hello, or pass on a gift you might have for them. We have gotten so much back from some of their people. Now when my wife and I are on the rail at the shows, the security guys that patrol that zone between the stage and that rail, when they come past us we get a smile and a fist bump. It’s something small, but it contributes greatly to being in a good relationship with them. So I’ve bored you enough for now, but I have years of stories that are similar.
@@canislupis3129 Thanks for sharing and for such a comprehensive reply. I read it twice so not boring at all. Thank you!
I was lucky to see The Stones for the first time in 1965 with Brian Jones. I was 13 yrs old.
Thirteen years old - my first concert was Johnny Winters!
RIP Charlie. You understated genius who laid down the rhythm for the rest to follow. Don’t want to disrespect the new guy but in my eyes there’s nobody to outshine Charlie.
Charlie was the most talented guy in the band - as a drummer. Not to hate on drummers. He was one of the best. John Bonham and Ian Paice also come to mind
Anthony, you have the best job in the world.
„Why?“
„Because we love each other.“
Yes, that is ultimately their deeper message. Love, and love what you do. Full stop.
Nothing helps you live longer than being happy. The Stones will live forever. 😃
I am 72 and The Rolling Stones have been a part of my life since I was 13 when I Can’t Get No Satisfaction came out! Damn, I’m old, they’re old and we’re all still rocking on from that era! It’s truly wonderful!❤
Absolute Legends! 🇬🇧
More like an Institution..finest rock/roll band that ever took the stage....
"When you've got it, flaunt it" Absolutely 💯% The Rolling Stones 👏👏👏
I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when All over now first hit the airwaves. (63-64) I was a fan from that first listen.
Well. Here it is. My ALL-TIME FAVORITE Stones interview. i'll love these guys forever. 💕💕👏👏🍻🍻✌✌🤙🤙😎😎🌊🌊🎶🎶
That's the difference between
The Stones
and The Beatles
They stuck together ❤️
Exactly, just imagine had the Beatles stuck together how different music history would of been. Do we get all the solo hits from each member, or would the band of done those songs. I just think the difference was the Beatles had for super egos that wanted to branch out on their own and succeed, the Stones are more like a close family and friends thing that never wanted to stop making music together.
But they didnt make as many hits as the Beatles . And they look so old. Must've abused their bodies for a long long time
@@mariocisneros911 Actually, age makes you look old, regardless if you abused it or not.
@@majortom8047 my 2 brothers 10 yrs younger than them , but look 25 yrs younger. Their 73, 71 ,but look 62. I'm 64 but everyone tells me I look early 50's. Eating right, not smoking, not drinking, not taking drugs . The Stones are 80 but look 90 , like my uncle and aunt
@@mariocisneros911 Insight!
Climbed into their last show in Berlin near Olympia stadium in the Forrest stage and it was from a whole mother planet. I saw Fleetwood Mack, Neil Young, Motörhead and a couple other legends.. but jagger is such a high flyer on stage. Their attitude and sound is just amazing. Kudos forever ❤
These guys are 🐐's of this music thing. What a journey and life they have lived through. It's astonishing how amazing they still are at performing live at their age. I re recently had the pleasure of finally seeing them for the first time ever. They are still better than most bands out there. Plus their love and enthusiasm for still wanting to do this is so awesome.
Cheers to The Rolling Stones
I was homeless, did drugs, went into prison, where I got to know God. He changed my life. Now I have a home, a wife and a lovely year old daughter (zoe), and a stream of income that gats me $47,000 weekly. Plus a new identity - a child of God, Hallelujah!!!🇺🇲❣️♥️❤️
Excuse me for real?,how is that
possible I have struggling
financially, how was that possible?
Thanks to Kate Elizabeth Becherer
Her top notch guidance and expertise on digital market changed the game for me
I always appreciate God for his kindness upon my life
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Kate Elizabeth Becherer) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her 😊 from Brisbane Australia🇦🇺
I'm 55, and these guys remind me that I've got 20 or more years left of doing what I love to do.
I'm 58 and finally living my best life 😊
THE best Band forever and of ROCK and ROLL ever 👉🏼💯❤❤❤❤❤❤
I saw the Stones in 1964 in Sacramento, Ca. They were great then and they are great now
That must have been the show where Kieth Richard's got electrocuted on stage and had to be rushed to the hospital..no ?
@@michaelvaladez6570 No. He got zapped at the next one in '65. I wasn't at that one
@@michaelvaladez6570 They trashed a local hotel in Rancho Cordova.
@@mpista7182That was standard for rock and roll bands back in the day.
I was allowed to check in early to a hotel suite that had just been vacated by Joe Walsh. Housekeeping was working to clean up what was apparently a hell of a fast food fight. Good clean fun and Rock and Roll!
Although I’m not a Stones fan but I do respect their longevity,energy and talent. I’m 64 and simply amazed that Mick could run circles around me plus he’s only 8 months younger than President Biden. Rock On!!!!
The Stones took the childhood dream of being in a band with your mates and having a hit record and made it a lifelong phenomenon.
It’s a one of a kind human experience.
@@C84__84It’s almost one of a kind. Let’s not forget Aerosmith who no longer does concerts. When you can have a 50 year career… You gotta be doing something right. Long live Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones. 🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨
Oops… That should say 60 year career. My bad! 😮😊
Incredible! Even if you don't care about their music, it's phenomenal!🎶♥️
I absolutely adore the band and I listen to them everyday. This 67 year old lady loves rock n roll. ❤
I just saw them in concert for the first time. It was amazing!
Im glad my grandkids will see these guys live when they play their centennial concert.
I first saw them in ‘66 in San Francisco. They are an inspiration!
Give 'em credit. What a lifetime. And major kudos to the crew for bringing Charlie along with ya!!
Saw them in 2019 just prior to covid wrecking live concerts ~ when Charlie was still drumming.💙
The Stones are my favorite group and best concert ever seen! 🎶🥂❤️
"...you give it a breath" love that!
The greatest most prolific Rocknroll band of all time.. period...🎸🎸🎸
I'm 25yrs younger than Mick Jagger and I cannot move as good as he does.
You probably dont weigh 130 lol
Well you probably weigh as much as a compact car.
Right? Goals.
@@Ronniejamesleo You are wrong. I am a thin man.
@@Jeffs9304 Well, I weigh about 160lbs.
I love this band forever and ever . Mick, Keith,Charlie,Ronnie💙🤍💙
Although I mostly stopped listening to the Stones many years ago I sometimes will listen to their older albums. I am glad though that they are so full of energy at 80 and on another tour and still friends who have stayed that way. I have never been to a Stones concert before.
They don't make them like this anymore. I love all kinds of contemporary stuff but remain in awe of these guys' longevity and the level at which they carry on. Great piece and great archival footage. As always, The Stones know how to manage their career, and the press!
My favorite Rock Band of all time...🎸
Time is definitely on their side.
🎛💰..........
For them to be performing in their late 70s/early 80s is AMAZING!
It's Amazing! It would be like if The Beatles were still together as a band
That's of course barring John and George's unfortunate early passing
Just saw them a couple months ago. Most awesome show ever!
Wow! How great the Stones are to this day!!! I find it so impressive that I was born July 1962 and the Stones have been a band that long and are still going!!!! I'm 62!!!! It makes it much easier to say I'm 62 when they are so great into their 80's!!!! I love you guys! Keep up the great music!!!! ❤❤❤
Rock on boys we love you!! Miss Charlie..
They have been a part of my life long music journey for six decades. They are a constant joy and they truly are a good as ever. As Ron Wood said, Mick’s voice is as good as ever so why not flaunt.
I got to see/heard them in concert which is a treasured memory
❤️❤️❤️ love them dearly.
It was so beautiful when they all got together for the interview ... they were so delighted to see each other.
Grace Slick said something to the effect of it’s sad to watch Jagger dance around on stage at his age, but I disagree completely, they still rock! 👅 🤘🏻
She interested in a one on one with record sales?? She still touring? She even look like Grace Slick??
Will never stop loving them ❤❤❤❤❤
When I was in high school, I had the newspaper article about Mick turning forty years old on my bedroom wall. I'm 55 now, and they're out on tour.
I was fortunate enough to see them live in 1987. Something you don't ever forget, and you really appreciate ✌️❤️🌼
I’d never seen them…figured I’d blown it… then this tour was announced…saw them back in May in Vegas…. Still amped…gray haired people with their kids…who also had gray hair…😀
Have to give them credit for longevity. Satisfaction was the hit in my senior year
I love the Stones, but it was a real mistake not to mention, Brian Jones. Many people believe Mr. Jones was the one formed and brought together The Rolling Stones!
He was kicked out of the band 55 years ago, so how was that a mistake for this interview?
Mick Taylor!
It amazes me with the amount of drugs snd debauchery of these guys they are still going strong. I think it speaks to how much doing what you love keeps you young at heart.❤
The Rolling Stones should be the blueprint for longevity so youthful just just amazing and hilarious 😂❤!
They get on with the media so well 😊❤ fantastic interview. You got the Rolling Stones😊👍
Great interviews!! My goodness. I do looovvveee you guys. Im not sure which decade you were the best so, i think I will consider all decades where you are the greatest of all time. So grateful that you guys can still rock on!❤❤
AH-maZ-ing .... Bravo Rolling Stones - THANK YOU .... great Interview btw!!!
Love, bigger than all of us, the tie that binds. Thank you for your beautiful music and message ❤
THE ROLLING STONES ARE SIMPLY FOREVER AND WILL BE THE LAST TO TURN OUT THE LIGHTS.
THE WORLD'S GREATEST ROCK-N-ROLL BAND. THAT DEBATE HAS LONG SINCE BEEN PUT TO REST.
I saw them live about 20 years ago and we thought they couldn't go on much longer... boy, were we wrong! 😎
I've never been a great fan, but I do appreciate their musicianship and comraderie. Great interview. I wish them many more years rockin'.
You've missed a lot of excellent music.
@@timbruce8366 I've heard quite a bit since the 60s, but most of their stuff was more secondary in my personal preferences. If it was on the radio I might not switch stations, but I never bought any albums, just a few 45s.
I saw them at Soldier Field in Chicago Illinois in 1976, I was 16 and drove from Monmouth Illinois which is about 4 hours out. I drove my 1969 Dodge Charger and had my driver's license only 3 months!!! I grew up that whole experience that two days!! Wild Horses couldn't drag me away, thanks mom and dad.
The creativity the Stones bring to life and to other people, it's your mind, your talents when you learn to tap that source, you will truly have defeated age.
80 going on 20 these guys are super natural !
Great inspiration for doing what you 💕
62 years and still rocking! Rolling Stones will live on forever!
This may sound weird but congratulations Stones for not only giving us awesome rock ‘n’ roll since I was just a knee-high to a grasshopper, but good grief you guys are all in pretty good shape. No tummy sticking out in these pictures.🙂↔️
I have been a Rolling Stones fan from the age on 9, when my Sister gave me a Stones album for my Birthday, I first saw them live in 1975, as the years have gone by, I have seen them 54 times, in the States, Canada, and over the pond, they are the greatest Rock-n-Roll band in the World.
