Vocally, it's also not really impressive. The reason Jagger's voice is still the same is cause his songs are piss-poor easy to sing. He barely has any range. On easy songs, like Wild Is The Wind or I'd Die For You, Jon's vocals haven't changed either. I wonder how Mick would sound in 2013 if most of his catalogue was as challenging as Jon's.
However, the moving around and entertaining part is spot on. That is the incredible part about him when you look at him and remember his actual age. Jon should take notes.

They are easier to sing than Bon Jovi songs IF the Bon Jovi songs remain in the same key but this comment is WAY off the mark...
Mick is also almost twenty years older than Jon and making singing look easy. Jon makes the majority of Bon Jovi songs look like he's having his kidney's removed through his ass without anaesthetic and that's after dropping many songs by a key.
My apologies if your comment is based on experience and you sing songs by both Bon Jovi and The Stones on a regular basis while entertaining a crowd.
Also, they play the staple hits but also mix things up. They key though, is they earn the label of the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world by giving the crowd exactly what they want and putting in the odd rarity for die-hards and to keep it fresh for themselves... all with astounding amounts of attack and energy.
