Like I suggested, maybe he could say they're sad that he couldn't be there?

Not sure that will be seen as sincere, Mick and Keith have never looked so happy onstage together. We don't know anything about them really do we, Ronnie seems the most badly effected by Charlie's absence, I genuinely believe Ronnie misses him very much, might have effected the dynamic of the band for him more than the others.
I'm sure deep down Mick and Keith are hurting but perhaps don't show it onstage, it's probably in quieter moments behind the scenes that are the most difficult for them.

I don't think that Mick and Keith's publicly warm interactions and apparent enjoyment at performing negate private grief at Charlie's death - I certainly hope not. One might reasonably conjecture that the death of such a close colleague has brought home to them that time passes quickly and life is too short for grudges but should be enjoyed to the full. Ronnie has been open about his medical history so we know he has suffered a recent recurrence of a very aggressive form of cancer and hopefully beaten it for the time being. The treatment is likely to have effected him and the psychological toll of Charlie's death in the circumstances he has mentioned more than account for his on-stage appearance. Hopefully, everyone is taking good care of him.

Just came across this. Keith, backstage Minneapolis, warming himself up for Before They Make me Run.

Perhaps Charlie's passing is the reason for their smiles. Maybe when Charlie passed, they understood that while they have done this for 59 years, these moments are fleeting and could end at any moment. While I am sure they are missing Charlie, maybe through these circumstances they realize how truly fortunate they have been. Maybe every time they take the stage and every song they play, we are just seeing their sheer joy of playing the music.

Agree 100%, Nikkei. Just wished they would have realized how much they mean to each other sooner.

These guys - the actual Rolling Stones! - just played a concert last night - which doesn't happen often in the grand scheme of things - and this thread only has six pages?
There have been longer discussions about whether or not Mick wears a wig.
Just thought there would be more.

Is it just me or does Memory Motel and Fool to Cry sound awfully similar in the beginning?
My first thought when Fool to Cry started was that it was Memory Motel initially.
Anyone else get these two songs' intros confused?

Was thinking the same thing, perhaps there is less discussion because there is so little to criticise or find fault with, these shows were unexpected, remember all the posters saying it won't happen, can't happen, shouldn't happen, then we get great setlists, so not much to complain or post about there, then Keith is playing well so not much to bash him with , perhaps we are a bit speechless.
There is a phenomenon happening, 78 year old men are showing the world how it's done and it's so incredible it's hard to process.
How can we keep saying how great they are , how fantastic they are singing / playing, there are so few ways to describe perfection and so many ways to criticise mediocrity.

Good points, but people are still breaking down shows from '72.
These guys played last night.

Man the way Mick and Keith come out to Street Fighting Man, it's just powerful and unreal.
