They recorded and toured pretty consistently in the 90s and 2000s. |

I went all the way out see them in Des Moines once and Mick Jagger didn't know how to pronounce Des Moines. I can't even mimic the way he said it.

Lemmy said he never minded playing old songs for the fans because he still liked 'em too, but a lot of bands would bitch about having to play old hits.

Date: May 12th, 2025 1:06 AM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK I guess. TBF the Stones knew how to work with big stadiums and they played long shows. I've never seen anyone run and dance for three hours nonstop like Mick Jagger. Superhuman endurance. If they did that all the time it would kill any mortal.

Date: May 12th, 2025 1:08 AM Author: hank_scorpio yeah, and that is probably lame as fuck to do instead of singing right in front of a great audience that loves you while you blow the roof off of the place (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5723942&forum_id=2:#48923050) |

Date: May 12th, 2025 1:16 AM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK The show was nonstop amazing. They had huge blowup-things that would come out at different times and Mick Jagger would get on a crane that swung over the audience. Toward the end the enormous inflatable lips came out, the size of an office building. There were giant video monitors everywhere so you could see everyone in the band the whole time, no matter where you were sitting. The whole band busted their ass.
