This has always been amazing ; starts @ 1:35 in... he was 72 then.

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

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...

Doxa, could it be that living with a ballerina, though one much younger and now retired, has given Mick a few more tricks in his fitness repertoire?

Surely! If nothing else, there are certain routines to stay fit... "She pirouettes over me.."

- Doxa

Heh, yes. I was thinking more of what he would do, alone. Well, I think she did teach him how to stand in one place and spin longer. He demonstrated that during at least one show.

This will be my only comment since my original post. You can disagree but to me his running is astounding.... I'm jealous.

In that video clip I figure he runs under 6min/mile pace easily, probably faster. I'm 69 and when I run 8min/5k I win my age group, and actually finished 3rd overall in a group of about 400 once at 7min/mile age 65.

Up until his heart operation, Mick was certainly faster than I am now and I'm sure also over a 5K, his form is great, and he is a lot smaller than me... (I'm 6'2").

He did that sprint after about 100 minutes of performing, too. He'd kick my butt.

Those days will be back soon....I hope.....

Well, I think the fall 2021 tour had tickets on sale at the end of July if memory serves and the announcement maybe 10 days before that. All this is subject to correction since this is just off the top of my head, I didn't look it up.

I must admit I think that would be great if it did happen.

June 24…that would be Jeff Beck’s 79th birthday.
I’ve been wondering if someone, Clapton for instance, might be organizing a tribute concert that day.

A big clash if BOTH materialize.

An interesting concept (for an important cause) and I hope it will materialize, no matter who might perform there. But I think we need to keep heads cool here in regards to our heroes. "They've been asked" is the status of the thing, and with the Stones it is related to many things... (but yeah, since there is a tour - we all hope - coming, so not totally impossible...)

If the Stones and McCartney appear it would be a a nice opportunity to play the new Stones song that they recorded together, but unfortunately I have my doubts about the Stones appearing for a variety of reasons.

The fall 2021 tour had tickets on sale for most of the shows ever since February 2020, because they were postponed. Ticket sales never stopped despite the pandemic.

For the new shows announced in 2021, ticket sales started about a week after the July 22 announcement.

Yes. The Stones - along with all of the other acts mentioned in the article.

Nothing has been confirmed.

If The Rolling Stones do play at ANY event then it will of course be completely natural to talk about it here on IORR.

By the way, a charity concert is NOT a political event. I am sure most people do know the difference in talking about politics, and performing at events.

There is a big difference in Mick/Keith/Ronnie, and those artists who make clear political statements.

I am the editor here, so I should know how the rules do work here.

By any logics that is not a true statement. If the charity deals with a political situation it is a political event by any standard.

I guess you mean it will be okay to talk about the musical performance but not the political issue underlaying it.

Jeezus fukkkk is it really that difficult?

Would be nice if Stones played Wembley for this benefit show. Only time will tell.

Sure a charity concert is absolutely NO political statement in itself. Collecting money to feed and protect people who are terrorized is not a political statement. It is in the nature of normal human beings to help others who suffer. Please do not start discussions about what is politics.

Bjornulf

Yeah sounds like they just asked the Stones, but I think the chance is very big it will not happen.

- If it was prior to the cancellation this would not have been possible due to the rumoured to be planned show 23th june
- If it is actual there is the question if the issue why they cancelled the tour is not a problem for this gig, and also it would mean a unrehearsed Stones. Which they did before I think (that charity gig where they played You Got me Rocking and JJF?)

While it is only natural that the Stones would be asked, and ofcourse there is a chance, I would not place any bets on it.

And we still don’t know what happened, damn.not a word.
as of a few days ago Keith was at his place in the Turks,chilling with the family like normal.

Yes, you'd think that by now a certain "press" would have shed some light on the "injury" ?

Well, if it happens with or without the Stones I plan to be there and made hotel reservations across the street.

Sure its political if one considers human rights and life political but reasonable people just consider it right versus wrong. As they say "which side are you on?"

There's no sides here. They're not raising money for a campaign of any sort, I'd hope nobody here would be against charity.

They should play "Highwire".

Touché my friend. Absolutely spot on response by you. It ain't exactly rocket science is it? What an extraordinarily, and totally unnecessary overcomplication, the past few comments have created...
