You think you're old, the Stones are touring in 2024.

[fuzzybuddy]

It's 2024, and the Rolling Stones are on tour in the US. Back in 1961, the Stones band were the type of guys mothers warned their daughters about. Today, it's Sir Jagger.
Years ago, it was screaming teenagers in the audience. Today, it's their great grand kids.
Yeah, Stones.

Jon Bon Jovi is releasing a new album in June. I'd heard he's going to tour again this year, too.

Everything old is new again?

I thought the Stones were supposedly going to stop doing concerts and whatnot?

My post from another thread....

The Rolling Stones were in Houston this past week ... and in concert on Sunday night.
They are touring the country, and plan 25-30 cities in the Concert Tour.

Also, Mick and his girlfriend have a 7 year old son together.

I saw them in 1981 and thought they were old then...

I am still younger than them by the same margin, which makes me old enough to know I can't expect the same level of energy in their performances that I saw some 50 years ago.

They seem to be doing okay on this year's tour - filling up NFL stadiums ... their next stop is Cardinals Stadium in Glendale.

I have no interest in seeing the Stones or any band that rocked the world when I was a teenager. It would be too depressing.

Yup. Funny because I feel too old to go see them there but they are not too old to put on a 2 plus hour show !

...more power to them!!
Look at that cake....wonder what it cost..

I suspect they need the money or they would have retired before now.

When the RS HD tour tickets went on sale, I was able to buy 2 standing field level tickets for July 17 at Levi Stadium (Santa Clara). The field level tickets are for those of us that can move about freely and dance. Have seen the RS a few times.

That's his youngest son, Deveraux, I think he looks like Brian Jones.

I'm sure the price of cocaine and booze has gone up along with everything else.

They always say that before they tour.

He has a seven year old son. The price of raising kids has gone up too.

This thread reminded me of an old poster of mine

actually you'd be amazed... Mick is pedantic about keeping fit.. he's always exercising so he can not only live longer but can give his all in concerts...

No I doubt they need the money... look at Paul McCartney, he's a Billionaire and he's still performing...

I saw them in Anaheim at the Angels Stadium in 2005 (?). My sister-in-law lived about 6 blocks away. I could have saved the ticket money and sat out on the patio by the pool and listened to them.

Isn’t the original drummer dead? Keith Richards has got to be dead. He just hasn’t fallen over yet.

I respect all of them. Keith Richard stopped doing drugs in 2006. He has stated that he has a drink every now and then but obviously both he and Mick Jagger are in great shape.

 

[LoveTulips]

I would find it too depressing to go and see them. Not tooting my own horn here, but I was pretty good looking and could wear halter tops and bikinis, mini-skirts, thigh high boots, etc. not anymore. I'm not fat but have a lot of flabby skin and wrinkles. Some things times belong in the past. I can't re-live the sexiness of the music and the way I felt sexy and attractive when I was young.

The Rolling Stones? They went downhill decades ago!
