By thinner I mean that his voice sounds a bit weaker and less broad, so to speak. Rather less rich than less powerful I suppose, of that's to any comfort. Say, Tom Jones has a richer voice than Neil Young; the latter's voice is thin while the former's voice is richer/broader.
In the early sixties Mick's voice was rather thin, but as we got to the end of that decade, it's become fuller and richer. It continued to grow and peaked, in this way, around the recordings for B&B (listen to Hand Of Fate for reference, and compare to say, Little Red Rooster) It remained in this way more or less into the early/mid 90's. In the last decade it seems to have lost some of its richness. This is what I meant about his voice having become thinner.
His range by the way, is as good as ever, for reference on range, listen to Angie from Four Flicks and compare to a 1990-version of the same song.

I hope this was clearifying.

I think feel,and hear that Jagger is sometimes like his old self this tour in austria(LSTNT) She was ..in Chicago..the sol Performance..really good.

Agree with hound dog that 75 he was drinking, although some of it was for effect. I doubt, as a control freak, MJ was ever that pissed up, that regularly. People forget that Mick as a front man has been, and still is to some extent, obsessed with image and in particular his own.

Maybe he wasnt but Stoned he was!!!

And he can't chew gum anymore; sticks to his dentures.

Absolutely nothing!!!And if they do more gems like SWH ...they he sound like a young band once again!!
