I have a very hard time remembering what life was truly like when I was 19 or 20. I have vague memories of friends, special moments, important dates....but the day to day things that I did, where I went, who I was with is mostly a fog.

Cannot imagine what it must be like for the Stones to look back on 51 years. All the changes that have happened over that time -- when Mick mentioned Lady Bird Johnson having been at thier first DC show -- just blows my mind to look at them now. And to wonder just how incredible it must be for them to look at it all!

Congrats fellas -- you remain my heros.

I feel so lucky to have The Stones in my lifetime, they have added so much satisfaction and inspiration to my life musically and spiritually. The free spirit that you can do what you like and defy the norm and make your own destiny and not follow the rules of society exactly as expected. Thinking outside the box. Thank you Rolling Stones for 50 Years and counting to 51!

This Band has been together for most of my life and has played a great part in it.

I never imagined that I'd get the chance to experience the same "tingle" in my 50's as I did in my teens, 20's, 30's and 40's. But I did thanks to this Tour. For that I will forever be grateful.

I am so proud to be a Rolling Stones fan. Happy Anniversary. Have a great show today and please let this not be the end.

I got to see them when I was still in my teens and everyone assumed theyd never get another chance - they hadnt played Ireland in 17 years to that point.

To be able to still enjoy them as an active, touring band (and a bloody good one) in MY 50's is still quite amazing .

Its hard to imagine a world that doesnt have the Rolling Stones in it. That wont be happening for quite some time yet, thankfully.

I remember exactly the moment when I was 10 and heard them on my grandmothers radio for the first time. What a ride these 50 years have been.
