Sure, he's older and the moves don't come as naturally as they used to, and after all - it's really about the music, the SOUND. But (by way of example, and - in my opinion) look at Mick Jones from the Clash, Big Audio Dynamite, Carbon/Silicon. Dude was at least as great a mover as Richards in his prime, is second to none (meaning Richards) in playing pure rock n' roll guitar, writing and arranging timeless songs, etc. Jones - all balding and wearing sharp suits on stage - looks like a London banker or something. And the guy CLEARLY loves every moment of playing and being onstage, with whatever band or guest spot he does (and the guy plays almost constantly). He should have been an obvious choice for the London shows. Wonder if his name came up, and if so, Richards nixed it. Knowing Jones is his only - and obvious - competion. I was told a while back that Jones' band - Justice Tonight - were sounded out as possible openers for shows next year. Not sure if anything has come from it, though.
