Looking out during World Turning and seeing that vast sea of people as Mick sputters something incomprehensible. Sharing all of that with people you were on stage with 30 years ago in some cases and 40 years ago in others. Heady stuff.

They know they can only do it a couple of more times in this life.

I agree with all of this. Stevie said that when the 5 of them were together she felt as if they were some kind of force. Like they were all movie stars or something to that effect. You can totally feel that too. Whenever I see pictures of them the chemistry comes off the photo and the video. I personally haven't seen them live yet. However, whenever I watch little old youtube videos either from the past or current days I can feel the adrenaline through a computer screen. It's impossible to sit still. No amount of money can create that kind of chemistry. They have a rare thing. And even though the band lost a significant amount of magic after Christine left, there's no doubt that it's still there. Ibet you anything that ALL of them still feel a rush from the crowd's energy, and when they play certain songs. The co-dependent dysfunctional family sounds very accurate in fact.
