Three minutes till the Stones are on

I wonder why they're restricting what is broadcast? DVD?

Spoke to my friend who was there last night and she said it was amazing but I felt aggrieved yet again when she said they did Wild Horses [which we weren't allowed to see].

I first saw them in 1964 and most of the next 10 years after that. Now I refect back to those days, they were clean cut and smart, and their hair was well styled, just contrived to cause hostility from parents. My dad used to come out with all the cliches, which just rolled off my back. There's the teeniest photo of me and my friend at a 1964 concert in the Philip Norman biography, which brings back such great memories. The most fantastic concert was when they appeared with Otis Redding and Ike and Tina Turner. We had never seen anything like it - a revolution, looking back!

Saw the Beatles. Missed out on the Stones though.

saw them twice in 1965 all for 7/6p they haven't done bad for long haired scruffs who should get a proper job as my dad used to say.

Yes. To have seen it live must have been the best. Lucky son when.

Keith seems fine. He did a great interview soon after his book came out, and he was as sharp and witty as ever, albeit very laidback. Mick's always been a show off, but who cares? He keeps fit by doing ballet and Pilates, he says. It's certainly paid off for him. Glastonbury was a turning point for my 38 year old son, who mocks my passion for the Stones. He phoned me whilst they were on and said 'I get it now, I understand what you see in them - they're the best I've seen!' He'll be raiding my CDs andDVDs next!

Has he been the same since he fell out of that tree? Of all of them, Keith seemed to be the one that had got a bit fat round the tummy. Such a nice bloke though, if his book is anything to go by. Mick annoys me a bit with his 'cockerny' way of talking; as if we didn't know how upper middle class he actually is. Ronnie was looking incredibly well, given that he's the one that probably abuses his body more than the rest.

Neither do I. Keith has probably got no veins left for a transfusion, anyway!

I do NOT believe they get their blood changed!

No problem, just watch me - I'll just dash to Switzerland to get my blood changed first though

How many gransnetters could perform like that at our age?

I am sick of all the ageism that is being condoned on here.

A good collection of wrinkly photos

Noooooo!!!! Surely we don't want them to grow old gracefully?? It's too late for that.

I've just read an article in The Times which likens The Stones (at Glasto) to those cartoon characters in the Wonga adverts - that made me laugh. It also said that Keef always looked as though he was playing a completely different song!
I didn't realise that we didn't see it all J08 - I was watching the warm up act (was it Primal Scream - now I liked them) and then suddenly on came a load of old gits who looked like they needed a good ironing.
I loved em in the 60's and 70's. I just wish they would grow old gracefully. Someone told me yesterday that they regularly have their blood changed - is that right?

We did n' t get Paint it black. Or Glastonbury girl.

I have already said about this. I was having a moan about it yesterday.

Does no one read my posts?

Ah, so that's why, when. Hopefully it'll come out on DVD - I loved it!

Much as it sticks in my throat to say it, blame Mick Jagger. He took it to the wire with the Beeb, refusing to allow them to broadcast the full set. I hope the whole performance comes out on DVD. I would love to see them starting with Jumping Jack Flash - it must have been electric!

What a bummer, Tegan! Why did that happen? It was all over far too soon as far as I was concerned.

Just been told that the first song we heard on Saturday night was actually tenth on the playlist. I think that's an insult to those of us that were looking forward to seeing them .

And Doddy, well into his eighties, still gives good value for the ticket price!

There will never be another Max Wall... the strand of tragedy that underlaid his comic persona was pure magic...

"I lost both of my parents when I was eight.... Yes.... both of them. Only eight... What a card game THAT was..."
