Lots of us are long in the tooth and have retired. Now it's time for our favorite musicians to do the same.
I am glad that I grew up when I did and was able to see a lot of really good bands, including the RS at a 10K seat venue,
Sheesh - RS, Who, Tull,Zep, Zappa, Dead to mention only a few of the acts that I was able to catch.

Same. I saw the Rolling Stones every tour from '72 to '89, along with every Led Zep tour and every Who tour and everyone else even remotely worth seeing growing up. I was addicted to rock shows after seeing Sabbath when I was 12 or 13. I would have been 12 or 13 for that first Stones tour.
The funny thing is, I never thought that the Stones were any good live, I love them in the studio, though, with all the help involved. I bought every album for decades. That said, I also think that they should have retired in about 1980 or '82. What they are doing now is pure pathetic. I wouldn't walk across the street to see them for free.
