I was lucky I tuned in just in time for it - JAGGER ROCKED DA HOUSE!

He doesn't seem to have aged any in the past 20 years....amazing. WHAT A PERFORMER...the best.

Mick is still the best frontman in music. he owned the stage & had the crowd up on their feet. By far the highlight of the show!!!!!

It's so very lonely, you're 2,000 Light Years from home

That was simply amazing! I can't go to sleep after that performance!

I heard reports that Keith was there. Anyone see him?

Our boy looked tanned and rested...

Cindy no disrespect; he gave it all for the late great S.B. An added delight was the fact that Mick was in shape, and simply an inspiration.. I loved it!

Hi Chris - not sure why I would be upset - which part are you not agreeing with me on?

i think he commented on the "Wasn't looking too good, but I was feeling real well." part of your message. i think bv should remove the signature or whatever you call them option on people's messages. it just adds to confusion and they're silly, in my opinion.

oops. nevermind.

...is "oops. nevermind." your signature?!
Mine is: ...

["I can hear the Bullfrog calling me..."]

WOW!!!! its a really good day to be a stones fan.

Yes, indeedy - WOW - WOW - WOW - WOW!!!

His not HUMAN!><

I think all the more of him for getting up there after the scurrilous crap Keith wrote about him in 'Life'.

Fantastic!

The old boy brung it, did the dizzle, showed the younguns how it's done.

The only way that it could have been better would have been if he came out with the intro type Everybody Needs Somebody to Love and shifted gears into Cry to Me, done in the same way that he belted out That's How Strong My Love Is at the Licks theatre shows. But, given the considerable time off, that's too much to ask.

Yeah he was tanned I give you that.

Seriously, I dont care for that weird phrasing but I guess this is where some fans just differ from others. Maybe it was cool to be there and see the man perform again.

Edit: I take some of that back, he sang the lower parts well. He should really try to sing more like that, like he used to in a way. Lower. That in itself would be something new if the Stones tour again. Lower, calmer.

Excellent!!! The guy never ages, and he's always on top. That's the swagger of Mick Jagger.

Yeah but part of me thinks he's trying to cover up for something with the tan and the dance. I blame this on Keith and Marianne.

Looks like a granny award to me.
He looks and sings good considering his age though.

Excellent, as always... Never seen him give us less than that.

Humor or a typo ???

Keep On Rolling

Honestly, I'm not so thrilled as many here. I think the intersting and capturing thing - unfortunately - in Mick's performance is just the age card - "for his age" his dancing is incredibly energetic, and his physical presence defies the aging process. Well, for long the age factor has worked nicely for him, and makes him unique. He seemingly knows that what is his biggest attraction these days.

But if we look behind the physical miracle all I can see a man taking not any riskies but almost mechanically aping his own gestures and manouvres. For those five minutes he seemingly puts all the basic Jagger cliches we know from an ordinary Rolling Stones show. The song - an uptempo, "Start Me Up"-like number - is safe and sure choice for him to perform and nasal-mimic singing (the singing part really has a secondary role in this performance). I wish he could have chosen "If You Need Me" kind of thing with which he could sing/interpret really and perhaps try to reach/touch the people in that way but perhaps that was way too challenging. Too much riskies.

Sorry, for spoiling the party but I can't help being felt disappointed. I just don't feel comfortable with the freak-show ("what a physical condition for his age") element. It leaves me somehow artistically cold.

Of course you are right, Doxa. But what can we expect from a 66-year rock and roll-singer? I wish he would get a better voice-coach though (if he has one). He shouldn't sing so much through his nose.

Fair comment, Doxa - I think we would all prefer it if the Stones were winning a grammy rather than a mere appearance at the ceremony.

GREAT! - G R E A T ! - GREAT!

Agree. disappointing. it gave me no emotions or thrills. leaves me cold.
a shame really. like a parody of himself.
looked like a las vegas act.
if this will be like 2012, count me out.
No, mick ..... i dont think Mr Burke will have liked it from the heavens.
a chance missed for Jagger
