The Rolling Stones on life, music, and loss

The Rolling Stones' "Hackney Diamonds" was the band's first album of original music in 18 years – and their first since the death, in 2021, of drummer Charlie Watts. Correspondent Anthony Mason sat down with Keith Richards, Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood to discuss their unique chemistry; reuniting with the Stones' original bassist Bill Wyman; and what becoming octogenarians meant to Jagger and Richards. (This story was originally broadcast on October 15, 2023.)

I have said this before, but, in the early 80's, I was a teen and back then, you wanted concert tickets, you stood in line at places like Tower Records.My best friend and I decided we HAD to see the stones, because they were SO OLD, we would never see them again. So, we got the tickets, but, we had no ride to the concert in San Francisco. We convinced his parents to drive us, they got a room for all of us at the Wharf, dropped us off at Candlestick and told us to find our own way back to the Wharf.

It, was an amazing concert. I met a girl on the bus back to the wharf, I bought some beer (ya, illegal, don't do it kiddos) and the whole evening was wonderful. Most of my friends have now passed, though my buddy is still around. I have seen the Stones several more times and I myself almost passed away. If I can ever find a way to bring my two adult children to a Stones concert, I am going to do it, you know, they are getting old.

Whatever you think of the Stones, you have to give them credit for sticking together all these years.

Absolutely incredible! They are from my father’s generation but I still enjoy hearing their stories and their music

Saw the Stones in 1965, saw them again in 1969 at Madison Square Garden, and once again in Denver in 1972. I was so lucky to see them again this year2024, in Orlando, Fla, Mick was just like he was all those years ago and the whole show presentation was spectacular!! Thank you, Rolling Stones for filling my life with music!!

I highly recommend Keith’s book. ‘ life’. Amazingly he remembers it all and the book is like Keith. Honest, funny, a bit dangerous and passionate about the music. His life is Rock and roll.
