Donovan. (Saw Don at the Park West recently here in Chicago. Easily one of the best concerts of the year. His voice is still angelic and beautiful. And he plugged in and rocked.)

Interesting aspect. Might there be a breaking point in mid-60´s? Those artists often are 65 or older.
I wonder if the artists of my generation (say people in the 40´s-45) will still play while 60-70? I doubt it. But oin the other hand: what can they do? Bono in for a new education... ?

I think the Shadows have just done or soon will do their farewell tour
Add Marianne Faithfull to that list John Mayalls Bluesbreakers Bob Dylan, of course

All of those 60s artists maybe performing as such, but in terms of actually creating anything of artistic worth, we're probably down to just Paul McCartney. His Chaos & Creation album is quite simply brilliant, and I would never have dreamed that I would ever say that about one of his records.
Dylan aside, the rest is parody and at worst cabaret.
Not one single band anyone has mentioned is touring with all of its original members. The only 60s band that HAS toured recently with all ORIGINAL members is Vanilla Fudge .... unless Cream performing in London and New York can be considered "touring" .... and unless Crosby, Stills, and Nash (first album released in '69) can be considered a 60s band.
