Not forgetting that Charlie was also busy that night.
The very reason why the Stones got the gig in the first place.

Officially less than three years until their 60th!!
I think they reach the milestone.
And then they take their bow...
What a ride.

Well, as Keith said 1962 was "the conception" but the real birth of the Stones happened in 1963 after Bill and Charlie joined.

Well, if Keith would be right (but as far as I am concerned he isn't) The Rolling Stones died in 1969 when Brian left and died.
People come and go, one way or the other, but the true spirit of The Rolling Stones came to life in July 1962 and is still "makes us crazy" after 57 years.
Long live The Rolling Stones.

The true power of the Rolling Stones is really hard to define. Sure in the beginning it was Brian, but also Keith, Mick and Ian. Then Charlie and Bill.
Then Mick and Keith started to write their own songs, and that gave them more power. Mick took more control of the business, while Keith and Mick wrote powerful songs like Satisfaction, Paint It Black and so on.
I don't think Brian would have been able to do a world tour filling up stadiums of 60,000 fans with "Walking The Dog" and "Route 66". A powerful band need a leader, The Rolling Stones found one in Mick. A leader need someone to hold on to the roots, Keith is still there, so is Charlie, and they got Ronnie to fill in the gap after Brian and later on Mick T.
For ages, since the 60's, The Rolling Stones true power has been in the entire organization, not with any individuals. I see that on every tour, also between tours. The organization is seamless, like a well run company, they do free shows like Copa Cabana and Havana, they do great tours in South America even if the income would have been bigger in Las Vegas, and they take the band across the world again and again. They did the "Fruit of the Loom" tour 2002-2003, while they could have just played stadiums and make more money. If there is a hurricane coming they do quick but still right decitions and move the show, the warmup, the crew, the entire event, everything for 24 hours, just with the right timing, it sounds easy but it is not. This is an organization that is matching the greatest rock'n'roll band, they are the greatest together.
Congratulations on the July 12, 1962 conception, and may there be more years to come with this great rock band, live and recorded!
