Green LadyI have heard 12 miles (about 19 km) quoted - no idea how accurate that may be and it's probably less in recent years.Quote

I just watched this video again.
I was there and it was such a f*ng great concert. Full of joy, happines, power, swing and Rock'n Roll.

Absolutely great! Such an energy!
Anyone knows how many km Mick does on the stage during each show?

I think it would be less than 2 miles. There are breaks between songs, playing guitar, band introductions, song vote, Keith's set, and B stage set.

Well, it sure is great to see Jagger is still in good shape, but it's far from amazing or exceptional. In my (hobby) race cycle club there are 3 guys from 78 - 81 who easily bike 200km a week (and I mean almost every week of the year). A far better performance than a few sprints from 50 metres during 14 concerts a year.
Still, in the world of older rock musicians, it's proof of good shape and pretty amusing to watch.

well considering how many folks who are around mick's age here on iorr comment on how good of shape he's in compared to them
i don't think it's much of a stretch to say he's in better then average shape for some his age
but to your point not in extraordinary unbelievable shape
he may not come in first place in any marathons
but i'm sure he could still complete one and not come in last either

My guy said it is still postponed but that they were trying to find a time but the Bears have so many restrictions with use of Soldier Field he wasn't sure it would happen. He said the Stones were postponed, some music festival was canceled, and a Drake concert( never announced)was canceled. The Bears have restrictions about how many days between one of their games and another event. I asked if they would move it to Wrigley and he said he didn't know. I have 4 Springsteen for sale on the 11th
Yes, the 11th is our first choice. Where are the seats and what is the cost? My wife, son, and his girlfriend are interested. He's in Andersonville and we went to Dead and Co. and walked home last year and really dug it. Going again this year.
Thanks.

Well, I don't think the marathon analogy applies here very well. To keep his body fit and suitable for what he does asks something else than see how running against a watch does. It's part of it, but not totally reduced into it. The physical condition comes in many forms. So I guess you could ask, say, how ballerinas manage when they are reaching 80 years or so. How is their body control, its flexibility, etc. Mick seemingly takes care of his body, probably mind too, in pretty 'holistic' way - there are lots of things to take care of.
Hehe, I never thought I would be engaged in discussions like this...

Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre seats 7,000. That would be a pricey ticket. Not sure if there’s a larger venue on the Island, or a fan base there big enough to fill it if there were. Be kinda fun to take Keith zip lining in Sooke though.

I'm in about the same shape as Mick, unfortunately it's Mick Taylor.
Mick JAGGER is in way better shape than I am and he's 20 years older.

Omigosh. YMMV. I think his voice is in very good shape, and as for his physical condition, fantastic. IMO.

Today would've been the announcement for the Philadelphia "test" show on August 1st (per the official Facebook post last month)
Has anyone been hearing any late summer/fall tour rumblings?

I'm sure that when Mick was my age (almost 58) in 2001 he would not have been able to keep up with me on the rowing machine or swimming, and considering I've led a lifestyle more akin to Keith I'm not doing bad.
It's all about what you do and what you are used to, i doubt very much i can move like Jagger on a stage, this is what Mick has always done, but i see people in the gym in their 70s pulling weights you can't believe, each to their own.

Minor correction: March 3rd would have been the ticket on-sale date. (March 1st would have been the presale date. [iorr.org])
(And you know what? I still think they were supposed to announce the tour on Tuesday, February 21st - the day the "Philadelphia Leak" happened - instead of Friday the 17th. Typically they never announce their tours on Fridays because of the news cycle. You don't usually put out important press releases on a Friday, maybe bad news at most)
