I'm glad I finally saw them on July 3, 2019 FedEx Field near DC so I got to see them with Charlie Watts before he passed. Floor seats were $1000. They sounded great and were full of energy. Obnoxious people in the row in front of us were irritating, blocking our view by standing in the aisle, swaying, as their weed smoke blew our way.
The concert was previously rescheduled because of Jagger's heart valve replacement surgery. They were very good about the rescheduling and issuing refunds.
Keith Richards apparently snorted his father's ashes and a 2009 article reveals he once said, "I was number one on the 'who's likely to die' list for 10 years," he said. "I mean, I was really disappointed when I fell off the list."
Jagger and Richards are likely to be around a while longer. Poor Charlie apparently lead a healthy lifestyle.
A friend had asked me to an Elvis concert just before he passed. In hindsight, I really wish I had gone.
