the procedure (stent placement) will take place in New York City this week and the 75-year-old Stones frontman is expected to make a full recovery. Sources told the site Jagger is in “extraordinary physical condition"

tons of ppl have trouble retiring, my sister's father in law is about Mick's age and is really having trouble letting go of his house painting business and letting his grandson take over...I don't think that changes just because of money, he doesn't need to work any more than Jagger does, but I think to him it's like who am I now?

I didn't go, but I know a buncha other people who saw the tour opener last night and said it was great, and that Mick looked as healthy as can be. Apparently they only played 2 hours to the minute, which does indeed take some, er, stones, but hey. I guess people left pretty happy. God knows when I'm in my 70s I wouldn't want to stand around for much longer than that, either.

I also heard it was a good show.
― Consider the coconut (morrisp), Sunday, 23 June 2019 02:23 (four years ago) link
I think they've been doing the two-hour shows for awhile now. They share setlist pics on social media, revealing 18-21 songs per show, including a 2-song encore.

According to last night's setlist, "Sad Sad Sad" is the token obscurity.

Their performance in the Global Citizen benefit thing was pretty cool. Mick looks & sounds great.

Charlie Watts playing the air drums was the highlight of the entire telecast. But how does Charlie Watts not have any drums in his house?!

Mick sounded awesome tonight! Also I love that Ronnie is always reliably the one having the most fun. <3

was keith doing anything on that guitar?
mick sounded and looked great. wtf surely this quarantine is going to restrict whatever supply of virgin blood he imbibes to keep himself youthful?

I liked his curtains, too

Jagger in strong, convincing voice surprised me. Charlie was a strong #2. He hadn't looked that happy drumming in years.

Keith looked sad. I was surprised by how good Mick + Ronnie sounded.
― Joey Corona (Euler), Sunday, 19 April 2020 16:39 (four years ago) link
Yeah, Mick and Ronnie were great. I was expecting to see Mick in his standard entertainer-bot mode, and was really pleased to see him so present and so into it.

Keith seemed a bit frustrated with his performance or the monitors or something
loved Charlie with his luggage kit
Jagger looks and sounds amazing, but he should reconsider that hair color
― Brad C., Sunday, 19 April 2020 20:31 (four years ago) link
keith mumbled something toward the end; some people think he said "brian jones." so my theory is that he was playing brian jones' acoustic part. it was one of the few "let it bleed" tracks jones played on. he certainly wasn't playing his own electric part. so...maybe a method to his madness.
― Thus Sang Freud, Sunday, 19 April 2020 22:10 (four years ago) link
A weird and elastic relationship between what Charlie was doing and the drum sounds on the track, the only reliable connection was waving the stick at the chair arm and the "shh shh shh" cymbal sound. The snare drum was a proper muted snare drum so he was either triggering samples or part of the drum track was a prerecorded thing. Mick and Ronnie were amazing!

they kind of functionally played a song they've been playing for 50 years, the drummer occasionally hit the arm rest on a stuffed chair and the guitarist was mostly able to balance his guitar in his lap
― Yanni Xenakis (Hadrian VIII), Monday, 20 April 2020 01:28 (four years ago) link
i come in peace but what would a "bad" rendition sound like
Fair enough. But the singer, who was once described by someone as a "joke," to put it mildly, convinced. As did the other guitarist.

I dunno, I’m not particularly a fan of that song (and only moderately a Stones fan in general), but it really connected w/me somehow.
― I eat fast foods (morrisp), Monday, 20 April 2020 01:38 (four years ago) link
Mick’s performance was genuinely comforting to me somehow, I can’t explain it.

I had the same reaction. It was so friendly, which is not what I usually expect from Mick. He somehow managed to convey that he was performing for YOU, the individual person sitting alone in front of your computer.

I hate this song because even Jagger in 1969 couldn't project the empathy the arrangement and his lyrics offered. But his showman's professionalism produced something empathetic last night; he looked like he was also trying to wake up Watts and Keith (Ronnie was already reeadyt to go).
