I'd like to join in and say that I'm only 26, haha. But yeah, regarding The Stones and younger fans, they're there but it's not enough, it seems. I don't know if someone has done the math, or you know, has a larger perception regarding the share that goes to the shows or streaming numbers, well, not everyone has got the money or the opportunity to go to the shows and not everyone has a streaming habit [I myself don't have it, unless we're counting YouTube] but still, it'd be an interesting exercise.
I feel a younger crowd is more about Led Zeppelin, maybe Queen, even Pink Floyd, from what I hear, things like that, where the mythology of it is there in biopics and whatever else is out there. The fact that they're dead and gone for a million years helps in the mythmaking department as opposed to the reality of old grandpas rocking out. Which is, of course, cool and unbelievable in itself but a different kind of cool.
We'll see if and when the band's over, if that makes a difference.

Just like I said yesterday, the song would have a lot of difficulty staying in the Top 100 by the end of the week and there it is, without streaming and without physical copies it is impossible.

Not surprised to hear you say that about Zeppelin, Floyd, and Queen. That has always been the case.
Stones are for connoisseurs, then as now.

You can add AC/DC to this list.

When I first asked my google machine to play SSOH it would play me the single version. Now it plays the extended. Does anyone know how this is determined?

I like the song, but it misses a Taylor-like guitar part...

In the Netherlands, Sweet Sounds of Heaven entered at #27 in the tipparade.

I'm liking the shorter version more than the longer one. I know I'm in the minority here. Gaga is getting to bug me more. Maybe I'm just an old dude, but. . .

As rightly pointed out here, the Stones' fan base is aging and hasn't really renewed itself.

Any idea who the other people in this photo are?
You can compare it here if it's Stevie Wonder behind the Moog - Video - (Pos. 2:10).

The person on Keith's left appears to be playing a bass guitar so possibly Andrew Watt, the other two are pretty difficult to see let alone identify.

On the left are Keith and Andrew, on the right Gaga and Mick. In the center it could be Stevie Wonder and Steve Jordan, but that huge hairstyle fits to neither of them. The only one credited for keys is Matt Clifford. But that doesnt look like him either.
Here are the liner notes:
Written by Mick Jagger. / Keith Richards Featuring Lady Gaga on Vocals & Stevie Wonder on Piano./ Rhodés / Moog,
Steve Jordan: Drums. Matt Clifford; B3 Organ. Andrew Watt: Bass / Backing vocals
James King: Saxophone. Ron Blake: Trumpet
Produced by Andrew Watt

The Worst.
Edit: on a closer look, the bass player does not have 'old' grey hair, so it might be Watt after all.
