He's 79 now according to wikipedia. He certainly doesn't look 75 in that video.

Love Donnie Iris. If you like him, check out the Michael Stanley Band out of Cleveland. He passed at 72 to cancer in 2021, but good rust belt rock for sure, not unlike Mr. Iris.

Is that his original rhythm section?

Take a look at Tom Cruise. He looks like he did 20 years ago. I'm guessing many celebs take anti-aging drugs. What group is this guy in?

I had no idea Michael Stanley had passed away. I have records from his early groups:

Two of my favorite records. The Silk album is killer from start to finish! Every song on it has a different sound. All original material I think except for one song, maybe a Tim Hardin cover. The Tree Stumps and Silk are the exact same lineup, just a name change.
