Elton is still playing with longtime mates Davey Johnstone (68), Nigel Olsson (70) and Ray Cooper (72)...all of Paul's band members except the drummer are in their 60s.
Keith's lived a hard life and is giving it his best at 75 - I'm really enjoying all the videos from the tour so far.
I manage to beat you! 22 here

Thank you, it's one of my favourites. I usually don't take pictures at shows, but I thought it could be, you know, the last time
Love you kids--from a 66 year old woman!
Fantastic pic Nikkei, come to think of it he's been wearing those trousers for three years.
Your picture, it looks as though Keith has an orb above his head.
Talk about your favorite band.

Well, we're closing in on that caricature picture of them in cartoons where they are pushed on to the stage in wheelchairs. As someone pointed out Ronnie is still the young one though.
The others simply aren't (Darryl excluded). Even if, I'm sure, many would like to think they are. That's why I think the Miami gig might be their last one.
I'm amazed though to see how good other old acts like Sir Roderick, Sir Reginald and Sir Paul are doing. But I guess that is down to the fact that their supporting musicians are much younger.
Which is a luxury the Rolling Stones can't afford.

I've noticed it. He plays the same 2 songs every gig. You Got the Silver and BTMMR. Last summer he was dueting with Bernard. Keith is getting old like the rest of us and what a drag it is.

I agree he's giving it all he got and then some. Here's a pic I took last summer.
I looked at his knees for some time and could only conclude he got those pants made so these two+ hours are a little easier on the legs. That's the level of commitment.

'Last Summer' are the correct words. I've noticed a big change since then.

Out of interest whats his top 3 post tree fall gigs?
I mean in terms of his playing, which are his top3, where he absolutely nails it, plays it and pulls the band along rather than gets carried, reduces his riff playing to the barest of minimums, and looks like he doesn't know where he is?
This is meant in the best possible taste, i just wanna see some uber richards playing and performance. he still brings it, but which have been his best since he came back from the tree incident?
Of the shows I attended:
Oslo 2007
London I 2012
Roskilde 2014

For gods sake, hes 75 and has abused his body to an excessive degree. He's old and tired and achy.
Im 40 and I feel worn out many days just going to work and the gym. I cant imagine how one gig takes a toll at that age, even with trainers and doctors on hand. Leave him be.

Abused his body? Sure, he has indulged in drugs. Everything from heroine to nicotine. Otherwise he has led a pretty comfortable life if you compare with an ordinary working man.
People who have done hard labor tend to be pretty worn out when they retire at 65.

I guess I’m the rare spring chicken here. Turning 25 in a couple months. First saw them when I was 7 in 2002. I’ve been privileged to have seen them 26 times.
These guys have literally redefined the laws of humanity.

I hope your thread won't turn into a speculation game...
it reminds of the US kremlinologists who'd watch every public appearance by Russian leaders and make spurious deductions about their health and well-being.
"Oh Yuri Andropov used to move much more last year. That's the sure sign sth is happening with him!"
I think the speculation about them always turned out accurate.

Ok Ill answer the question. Yes he seems tired/off/plays less than before. Overall he seems a bit out of reach.

Keef is probably doing more than alright all things considered. Think we should all just take it in while we can, just like him. Maybe people are trying to compare him to Mick? He's another story entirely, though I believe Keef has good genes too.

Also, people at the US shows have (mostly) not seen Keith since 2016 or 2015, and three years is a long time in your 70s. His appearance has definitely aged over the last couple of years.

He's led a charmed life...I hate the notion that he led a “hard” life. BS. He's escaped accountability for his bad actions, but objectively speaking, he abused his body with drugs, alcohol and cigarettes.Quote

2014 seems a great stint, Roskilde has a magnificent Midnight Rambeler too but..
Ive said it before and i'll say it again.
The Shanghai 2014 version of Midnight Rambler is unique and for me never fails to give me the shivers with taylor playing feedback dub lead, watching jagger skipping down the stage and woods/richards weaving a beauty behind. for me this is when the stars aligned the best post 70s on this tune. i absolutely looooooooove it. thank god i got sent a vid of this as its been pulled from youtube. its my fav post 70s version easy altho I'm sure others will disagree
