I have seen Simon & Garfunkel on stage. They are not friends, and it is easy to see on stage. Ice cold, no interaction really.
Mick and Keith seems to have a great time together on stage. Actually I am eye witness of may be 50+ proofs if you really need that, just from the past 8 shows down under, all those little things that are not coordinated or planned, but they just happen on stage, like they smile at each other when they do great stuff, they appreciate the other one at times, all those things you know come from mutual respect and friendship.

It is a marriage of convenience. And the matey gestures of affection are good for business. They convince the paying audience that they are a loveable gang of old rogues who enjoy each others company. Away from the public I suspect it's another matter entirely.

Given all the comments down the years, notably but not exclusively in Keith's book, I just don't buy these displays of mateyness between Mick and Keith. They are just about maintaining the brand.

Mick confirms this every time he is asked. they are business partners and I am sure there has to be some love between them deep down, but they have not been friends, they have not spent any time together other than work, for decades.
It's funny how this seems to matter to some fans.

in 2012 mick would hardly glance at Keith, never mind touch him! That has to be better. One reason why keith seems so happy perhaps....

Would it not be great if at the end of touring (after 2015) that Mick and Keith sat down together in an interview setting and just gave the impression they're on friendly terms...and as such are working on new material (for a new album)?
