I saw a doors movie yesterday,and a thought came too mind who is still out there and still performing. Maybe we can all see which artist are still functional. Peter Noones (Hermans Hermets,he is solo now and sounds great).
Well we know Neil Young has been around since the 60's and still kicking up the tunes. That was an easy one.
Alice Cooper.
badeye 
Keith Richards and the rest of the Stones. Must be a hundred or more. LOL
Black Sabbath is playing again. I saw the last reunion tour back in like 1999. They were pretty spry for a bunch of geezers. Ozzie is 63. Tommy is 61. Geezer (most apropos name ever!) is 60. Bill Ward is 63.
Then there's the Rolling Stones...
The obvious Paul McCartney
Albert Lee, (Heads, Hands and Feet), (now performing with Hogans Heroes, and very good they are too)
Chas Hodges (Heads, Hands and Feet)
Eric Clapton (and he only lives down the road from me)
Status Quo, (still cranking out twelve bar blues and still yet to find a fourth chord!)
Dave Gilmour (ex Floyd) still sounding good
Roger Waters (ex Floyd and about to tour The Wall next year)
Focus. Still going strong
BB King
Santana
Van Morrison
Paul Simon
Bob Dylan
I could go on, there are plenty from the 60's who are still around and haven't succumbed to the not so inevitable booze or drugs.
Jerry
Leonard Cohen. 77 years old and still going.On the other end of the spectrum,The Jimi Hendrix experience is the only band that is completely dead.
The searchers are still going they must be the hardest working band in the world .playing several times a week.50 weeks a year!
Can any other band claim this?
I just read where Chuck Berry is still kickin out the jams.
Deep Purple are back on tour in the UK!!!!
Although he is much younger than most folks listed in this thread, I don't know of anybody who rocks a tuba like tubatooter does at his age!
Tom Petty 60 last year.
Has never followed any trend but his own.
ROBIN TROWER -- STILL KICKING AND PUTTING OUT NEW MUSIC.
Dick Dale

good one top's,I am learning alot of these people are still around,music must be good for your health.
Tony Bennett, 85 I think and sounds fantastic
How about Jerry Lee Lewis?
Chuck Berry jams every weekend in St Louis with his children.
Randy Bachman plays a few concerts a year, as does Burton Cummings.
Levon Helm of the Band still does his Midnight Ramble.

Wow, what a wonderful compliment, Tops. I am so honored, sir.
At my age 70, I am retiring from paying gigs - more than the rate my playing skills are eroding, I look really bad huffing and puffing onstage these days. That Florida tour you attended, Topdown, was my last.
I still enjoy jamming on tuba and guitar and will continue playing for fun with my pickin' buddies as often as I can. I hope to attend some jamming opportunities with my chordie friends as much as possible.
Onstage entertaining is and should be for the young. I plan to pound beers and pick and grin with friends until my geezerhood is over.
thanking you,
toots

Well toots, all I can say is I am very fortunate and grateful to see you on your "farewell tour". I am even more fortunate to have jammed with you personally and look forward to some more pickin' the next time our paths meet. Beers are on me my friend!
just saw something that Tony Orlando is still singing.
