How has Mick's dancing changed over the years? i've never seen any footage from before 2002, just pics.

You've never seen any footage of the Rolling Stones from before 2002?

check out 1978, mick was at his best imho

You got to go get some DVDs from 72. never was there a badder performer on a stage.

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."

In general he's gotten more controlled. Before, he was an unpredictable, sexually ambiguous wild man. There are probably still live links on this board to old clips. Also try youtube.com and search for rolling stones.

Check out 25 X 5. It's a great history of the Stones' first 25 years up to the Steel Wheels tour with some great performance clips.

If Mick acted as in 1981/82 he would need breaks of severeal days betwen two gigs, because even though he's very very fit, he's 62 ...

Dont knock it. Mick wipes out any front man 40 years his junior. All performers are just his apprentice. Try seeing the Stones live.

Just watched some of the 'In memory of Brian Jones' DVD thats on the Rocks Off torrent. Mick's doing a friggin moonwalk in some of the clips.

well on the 75 tour he kinda hung around 4 a while

1978 he was a Rock & Roll Madman in Buffalo , me took this 1 sittin on top of my friends shoulders

& 1981 he had an airship 2 throw those carnations in philly 9-25-81 , me took again

Chippy, do you recall if they were playing Brown Sugar when you took that photo in 78? We had talked about Keith playing that guitar only on BS on that tour.

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."

the thing abput fitness and stamina (not speed though) is that your can maintain
a steady great form up into 70. and even make progress at a very high age, with regular practise and sensible behaviour, eating etc.
Mick is just in that league.

ChelseaDrugstore , dont no 4 sure if that was b sugar but its a good bet because jagger's all sweated up in that shot so it may have been towards the end of the gig , i took many pics @ that show that i no which song they were from like woody playin slide on down line & keith & mick sharin the mike on honky tonk & so on , here's an easy 1 to guess which song its from , ya your a star star,whats that keiths got there a black telecaster , i don't no, from all the pics i have keiths using 4 dif guitars , ill post them all in the future

ohhh bummer, Chippy's photos have vanished! and here i was hoping to entice him to post that Buffalo 78 shot over on the Custom Oddballs thread - [iorr.org] - it's important evidence in the Macabre Mystery! :E

I'll be a black sheep for sure, but - I just can't stand Mick in the 70s. Even Ladies and Gentlement, I could never watch till the end - although I could surely LISTEN to it! He seems pretentious, affected and completely artificial to me and in these years he doesn't hold a candle to any genuine soul singer who he copies desperately. There is, to me, a complete lack of joy.
On the contrary, I just ADORE Mick from 63-67, and from 94-... Oddly, there is something similar in the very young and the very old Mick, some boyishness, some genuine fun, and great charisma in a completely loose and often odd way, and I love that.
Even physically, the pseudo-iconic, scorny, full of himself superstar of the seventies annoys me more than anything, while I love the old crackled wrinkled nervy Jagger as much as the adorable little bamby he was in the sixties.
