I am sorry to be the one to lay it on ya; this was by far the WORST excuse for a Stones show ever!! Never have I heard them sloppier....never did they look more like they'd rather be anywhere else. The problem was band-wide, but centered on one man. Face it folks, a life of booze and drugs SOUNDS good, but the results are in. Keith Ricgards is just about brain-dead. He is far worse off from than even Europe just a couple fo weeks ago. That fall was obviously worse than they let on. He was just lost out there. He blew most of his cuex, fucked up most of his solos, could barely speak English. At times I found myself shouting at him "play your fuckin' guitar Keith!!!" It was pathetic, and in the end, very very, very, very sad. Ladies and gentlemen, he will not last the tour if he keeps it up. It was colder than a witch's left tit so maybe that was some factor. And Keith was not alone. The band was the sloppiest I've ever seen them...beyond bad. 'Sway' was a travesty, a fine Woodie solo blown by missed Keith cues and Mick forgetting the lyrics after just one verse. It got worse from there.
Much worse.
At one point, they even turned Keith off after a while at times. He was playing but you could not hear him...it reminded me of Jerry near the end. The end is near, and it ain't pretty.....
There were so many songs butchered. Even Mick was not blameless, butchering the seond half of "Midnight Rambler". Not even Ronnie was blameless. Woodie carried Keith the whole night, but even he missed a few--a badly blown "Monkey Man" for instance.
There WERE some good points--Mick is still tireless. And Woodie did a new take on his solo in "Start Me Up" that was superb. And, out of the fucking blue, Keith's opening riff on 'Satisfaction' was so startingly original and crunching it made me go 'Wow!' and say 'where the fuck you've been all night?'. But then he fucked up all the chord changes and his attempts at solos were childish and lost.
thank god for Charlie and Daryl
The best songs of the night were "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" and "Streets Of Love".
If this keeps up, Keith needs rehab..... |

Maybe rock n roll is dead.
a mere excercise in mathematical equations of ticket sales, seating numbers and dollar totals...and fantasy setlists to add a little spice. |

Well,i can agree on keith,it started on the Licks tour.
Most of the ABB shows from this year,are below average.
Just listen saitama,or even Boston earlier this year.Its
awful.Summer shows were very good,they seemed to happy in
europe,or were they happy because tour was soon over. |

The summer shows happened right after Keith's accident. I think they sounded happy, cause they felt happy. I'm 90% sure this is going to be the case with the States leg this time around as well. Just give them a little more time.
And while pondering Keith's abilities to play well nowadays, I've been thinking that his arthritis might be a little more hurtful than he lets us know. It would explain certain off nights.
And quite frankly, I don't see or hear such a big problem as sometimes referred. And no, I don't worship anything they do or say, but heck, I still like Keith's playing.
