Mick Jagger is EIGHTY,who recalls Ned Kelly

I was more of a Beatle fan as a teenager but did see the Stones live, once with the Beatles and at Hyde Park. Like their music but not the personalities who always seemed to be full of themselves. Treated their wives and girlfriends badly. Mick shows his age now. I expect he can keep up the fitness for a short space of time.

Remember hitching to Bristol Colston Hall in - it must have been - about 1968, to see The Stones and Ike and Tina Turner. What amazing performers! I also remember Dr Zhivago. I just do not feel that old, but I guess none of us do!

Have seen the Stones several times in last few years, most recently Hyde Park last year. Love him or loathe him Jagger is a force of nature. His performance is a total body workout. He moves around the stage the whole show, swinging his arms and jumping around. Phenomenal for any age, let alone 80. Long may it last. We have done several UK dates this summer seeing Springsteen, inc 2 Hyde Park. He’s a mere youngster at 73 but wow. Another power house

I well remember “Ned Kelly”. I was living inAustralia at the time. We were all terribly impressed at the time that he should make the journey…

Aw that Ned Kelly- i think he was potrayed in a comic in the 70's- a comic strip of his villainous escapades.Not sure which comic though.

Mick was not too bad looking i guess back in sixties, early seventies- then seems like has got more monkey-looking as times wore on..sorry but i had to say it.😅

I remember the films 'Ned Kelly' and 'Performance' although I was keener on the music side. Although I loved the Beatles, it was Mick Jagger that made my young heart beat faster. I think that I'd still blush if I met him, even if he is eighty!

Saw the Stones from up a tree in Hyde Park, London, saw the Who same night, seen The Who 8 times.

You should frame the poster Fannycornforth,and display it on your wall.

Saw The Rolling Stones in 1963 and again in 1994
Brilliant

Wasn't Ned Kelly an Australian gangster who dressed in some kind of armour? Nothing to do with any other Ned Kelly.

Yes, he was an Australian outlaw. He killed three policemen and was hanged, I think, in 1880

Whose Ned Kelly?

Went to see them at The Queen Hall Leeds in 1964 few days before my birthday. Front row seats and lost my voice from screaming

My parents tutted and said Mick Jagger would probably be dead from an overdose before he was thirty 🤣 how they underestimated him! Amazing man!

Foxy gloves, we re-watched Dr Zivago recently, it's terrific and Omar Sharif was gorgeous

I remember The Rolling Stones held the stage during the 'interval' at Studio 51 in Great Newport Street in the 60s.

Ken Colyer (anyone remember him?) was playing, and it was usual for a group to cover the interval period between sessions whilst both the jazzmen and the audience sloped off to the pub - which is what I did. So saw him, but never heard him .

Don't remind me. He is only 3 weeks older than me!

I can rememeber him from the early 60s, along with the Beatles and many others.

1970 is hardly "way back"!
We graduated and got married that year.
I can remember much further back than that! Tommy Steele and "Little White Bull", for instance or Russ Conway and "Sidesaddle"
Cliff Richard in "Summer Holiday" and (be still my beating heart) Omar Sharif in "Doctor Zhivago"

My mum took me to see Tommy the Toreador at our local cinema. He has aged well..(Tommy Steele that is)

I remember seeing him in the film "Performance" with James Fox. Can't say I understood it, but it was very naughty for its time. Apparently it is now a classic which has influenced other film makers www.theguardian.com/film/2018/nov/16/performance-i-still-dont-fully-understand-it-behind-the-scenes-photos-from-the-cult-classic

Yes, poor Jerry. She always seems so nice as well (I love her voice)
And then she got treated abysmally by blooming Rupert Murdoch!

She does know how to pick 'em!!

No, I’m not keen at all either.
He seems quite charmless and humourless

I think Mick's father was a P.E. Instructor so Mick has always kept himself fit.

He's rumoured to be incredibly mean with money, and who remembers the way he treated Jerry, mother of his children who thought she was married to him and had been married to him for years, and he said no, that it had never been legal and therefore, presumably, she wasn't entitled to much alimony.

I won't forget that either, Sparklefizz and thought what a spiteful thing to do.
Never was keen Mick Jagger anyway although some of their music was good.
