Yes. Way ahead of anyone else.
The Stones played Glastonbury Festival in the UK a few weeks back and amazed the [young] audience. It was simultaneously broadcast live on the BBC tv channel. A two-hour set and 20 songs later and the guy who has run the festival all that time said it was "the high spot of 43 years of Glastonbury". I've never seen anyone work the crowd like he did, most of which had never heard of The Stones, the energy he had (he's now 70). If anything, better now than ever before, or at least he was on that night. Jagger sang Sympathy For The Devil and the crowd spontaneously broke into the whoo whoo backing vocals, even though 99 per cent of them would not have the slightest idea what that song was. Ten minutes later they were still singing it.
