Surprised there is not any special merchandise release on this day.

Or a couple of live releases from their golden era would be nice.

As Charlie once said (on"25 X 5" Documentary, parhaps ?), he thought that the whole party would be over after six months... But it lasts for 60 years...
That's amazing!

New email message from the Stones....

"It’s been SIXTY years of brotherhood, more than 20 albums, over 40 tours around the world, millions of fans,
Countless memories, and an eternal legacy. Thank you for being part of the journey".



Thinking of Charlie and Brian on this occasion, and how much they both contributed to the band....

Hey, my birthday was yesterday.

Sixty years and still rolling. Thank you for so much!

I ended up making a spotify playlist with the setlist from the show at the Marquee Club July 12, 1962:

I'll put this to play LOUD and imagine I was there...

Time is frightening. It seems like we just went through the leadup to the 50th, that I believe started with the Exile Bonus album in 2010, the still traveling exhibit (sorry the name escapes me), and finally back on stage at the O2 in 2012. Now we're here at the 60th. Bill & Mick Taylor's returns have come and gone. (Which we were amazed even happened.) Charlie didn't make it to 60, sadly. And they continue to make big money from bucket listers who still fill stadiums. Maybe they are far from the artistic giants they were, but they're still amazing. Cheers.

This is also the tenth anniversary of their Marquee Club anniversary photograph. We know now that a new phase of their career began there that's lasting through today

AH! The 10 year anniversary of the second 50 year leg.

The countdown has begun!

I'm going to start up the real celebration at midnight London time.

Viva la Stones, and the remarkable achievement of six decades of existence!

It´s really strange: I remember lot´s special issues of magazines all over the 90s and 40 anniversary, Now it´s 60 years which is much more stunning but there is much less hype. There are even some friend of mine that are amazed that there is a current Stones-Tour in europe - they did not know about that...

maybe more was planned but after charlie's passing the rest of the stones just didn't feel up to it like in 2012, 2002

just my guess for why the celebrations for this momentous anniversary has been rather tame compared to what i expected
