Still rocking at 60+ (your favorite older artists, then and now - please add to this) [View all]

I'm posting this not just to celebrate older musicians and singers who are rocking on, but to encourage the older musicians and singers here at DU.
As a boomer, a lot of my favorite artists fall into this 60+ category. And YouTube, with lots of fan videos of more recent concerts, shows how great these artists still sound, at least a few decades after they started. Most of the time you can find both new and old performances of concert favorites.
I'd love to see videos of your favorite older artists, then and now.
As I said, there are a lot I could post, but I'll post just one band in this OP.
Two performances of "Candy's Going Bad," a song fron Golden Earring's classic 1973 album Moontan. The earliest performance video I saw was really poor quality video of a Don Kirshner show in 1973, so I'm posting a 1982 performance from Rockpalast, a German TV show (which got the song title wrong for the broadcast), along with fan video of a performance at the Ipswich Regent Theatre in March 2009, when bass player Rinus Gerritsen was 62, lead guitarist George Kooymans was 61, and lead singer Barry Hay and drummer Cesar Zuiderwijk were 60.
