Which musician is touring at an old age, and doing a great job?

[NB_Terry]

The fact that Tommy Aldridge is drumming with Whitesnake on tour now, and he turns 72 in August is amazing.

(I did see an article today about Tommy's health.)

Glenn Hughes still sounding great at 70 is amazing.

While Jagger & Richards are even older, I think their tasks are less demanding than the 2 that I mentioned.

Who are your picks?

Totally out of the blue and I'm sure no-one would expect this, but Macca.

Define old age. 50s? 60s? 70s?

 

[Toolmaster Of Brainerd]

Jeff Beck

Haven't seen him live yet myself, but I will the next time he comes to the US. Watching videos of his concerts, he's still got it going on

I saw Adrian Belew before the Pandemic and he brought it at every level! Great, great show! More recently, I saw Justin Hayward for an excellent, intimate, unplugged show accompanied by Mike Dawes (who was mind-blowingly good) for a great show. JH's voice was in very good form and his tunes are timeless classics.

Iron Maiden and Judas Priest are getting up there and still convincingly get it done. Especially Maiden.

I haven't seen Buddy Guy since he was with Jr Wells, so can't comment on how great he is doing these days.
But the guy is freakin' 85 years old and still touring. That just amazes me. At 65 it give me hope I can keep this up for a while more.

2023 will be their 50th year as Cheap Trick. One of the few bands to exist this long without any fictitious, or frivolous farewell's, barely even a hiatus from touring. Road dogs personified.

Kip Winger. Dude is unbelievable at his age.

I will second Adrian Belew.

Was just watching Justin Hawkins's channel and he did the 'Should they retire..?' on Steven Tyler. That cat(Tyler) is still so on pitch it's crazy..maybe not as much force, but his ears and voice are still on point if not better. It's weird how it leaves some and sticks with others.

 

[Don Vito]

McCartney, Ringo, Brian Wilson. All around 80 and still touring.

Watch Steve Lukathers video “Run to Me” and Ringo looks like he’s 50.

 

[chumbucket]

Robin Trower. He won't tour without having a new album out. He still brings it.

 

[BlueRiff]

The Eagles surprised me on how well they sounded. Henley singing all of the tunes in the original keys.

 

[ozraves]

Lindsey Buckingham. Dude did a show heavy on his latest album and pulled it off. And, he is 72. Wish he'd add The Chain to his setlist.

And, speaking of people with newer material that is quality material, The Who. Saw them last month. Their current show is with live strings and live horns. The show was like a greatest hits album live. So many songs. One or two new ones. Roger is 78 and Pete is 77. Roger still sings on pitch all the time. Kind of unusual at his age. Definitely a tour to see when it resumes later this year.

I saw Ritchie Blackmore May 19 at the Whitaker Center in Harrisburg Pa. He's 77 and while he isnt as fleet fingered as he was 20 years ago he still has it. He also seems MUCH happier in life now,he smiled and joked all night

 

[tktk]

Vince Neil
David Coverdale
Don Dokken

Jeff Beck

Oh yes.

I saw him in the 90s twice, and he is even better than you would think.

Helps when you play 60 minute sets on weekends since 1990.
