He must have known who Cavett was and Cavett's reputation, and it may not be the first time they met.

Jagger is a very astute person. He knew this would be a time capsule moment and was on his best behavior.

[@theodoreconstantini2548]

"vitamins and salt" lol

[@amoh5]

Yes I agree Jagger was very courteous and respectful, he seems very intelligent and mature for his age, an old soul is the expression I think. I think musicians tend to impersonate immature wild things on stage, but off stage they're completely the opposite. I congratulate Cavett on maintaining his professional composure and cool in such an erratic environment 😊

[@Shikta-poobah67]

You gotta love the irony of talking down on scalpers for charging $75 a ticket, when today (and pretty much for the last 30 years) $75 won’t even get you into the nosebleed seats at a Stones concert. Plus, this was back when they were in their prime.

[@michaelsheedy]

Jagger was/is quite the performer on stage. Lots of rockers back then like Bowie and Stewart were great performers. I was lucky to see them back in the 70's at Cobo Arena and Fisher Theater in Detroit.

[@patrickoconnor1279]

Jagger is so keyed in. He’s a joy

[@Joseph-eu6jp]

Dick Cavett had such an "in" with all the rockers of the late '60s and early '70s... I suppose I should read his book "Brief Encounters."

Scalping? Imagine if they could look into the future and see the prices of Springsteen tickets these days. Or Taylor Swift even before a scalper gets hold of them.

[@riiidiculoso8697]

Imagine if they could see what they’d be charging themselves! I saw both the Stones and Springsteen in 2014… Springsteen was $227 (Australian) for a reserved seat, and The Stones a whopping $373. Worth it, though😁

Yeah so much for the free world market , doesn't sound so good to the ears nowadays

[@eddiemachetti6862]

Dick was a bit of a goober. He was respectful but he didn’t get to ask what he really wanted to ask. He asked the stuff to please the station he worked for. It seems.

weird interview.

[@aquamarine99911]

Cavett is so awkward, yet somehow good at this. At least a refreshing change from other entertainment interviewers. He presents as a public intellectual, and is always trying to give his subjects and chance to show how rock stars aren't as dumb as we assume. But it still seems forced and cringe-y, somehow.

[@lewstone5430]

He was one of the best, always asked intelligent questions.

[@johnbettmann6888]

@John Bettmann that was hilarious. “Oh, vitamins and salt.” Yeah, right!

[@unacat09]

As a kid I used to stay up summer evenings and watch Dick Cavett with mom and enjoyed his wit and his choice of guests. When I was 15 we hitched to Montauk to surf, there is no sleeping allowed on the beach and we woke on morning to see a fellow walking toward us from his home. We got up to leave and he asked us to stay and spoke with us for about fifteen minutes. Just a nice and pleasant guy.

[@jdsciano]

For sure. Cavett was his unique & authentic self without overshadowing the talent he was interviewing; love Howard Stern, but when he interviews guests, he certainly has moments of overshadowing his guests because his personality is larger than life.
