You might be onto something here. Mick today is the same as Mick 10/20/30 years ago.
He's doing his twitchy little scarecrow thing and it works cause that's all he's got (besides
his voice) and he's perfected it. Go with what you know & keep it simple.

Dave on the other hand was the ultimate frontman and perhaps that kinda stuff doesn't
translate well when he's/you're into your 50/60s. The crowd might want/expect his old
rap/stories but that shit is so dated and there is really nothing "new" he could replace
it with to satisfy the masses.
I think that operation has taken a lot out of Mick, he looks a little tired in some of the footage I've seen,
which is understandable. He is certainly not the Mick Jagger of 20 years ago.
Keith Richards on the other hand, looks like he's sleepwalking his way
through some of these concerts.

As for Dave, I think in the studio he's still a very capable singer and lyric writer.
