What strikes me has they go through their classic songs is not only the energy they can still bring to the show, but the passion and feel they play with.
Of course as a bunch of musicians playing together for over 50 years now they are something special. But it is the sum of the parts that makes them unique.
I wouldn't class any of them as virtuoso players but its the emotion that each one can put into a single note, lick or song. Along with that is knowing what to play and when to play it. They always seem to leave the right gaps in the right places and just gell as a unit, like no other.
My take is that its not what you play or how many notes you play, but how much feel and expressiveness you are able to convey and this comes across in bundles from The Stones to their live audience and through the TV screen. Long may they continue...
