I'm not trying to throw cold water on everyone's excitement this year. I'm just being realistic. Just look at Clapton; the contrast could not be starker. I'm not saying Keith was ever the player that Eric was; I'm just saying that you don't look at Eric now and Eric 25 years ago and see the marked erosion that we see in Keith.

It seems to me that, for today's Keith, the very effort of standing and playing guitar is like pushing a boulder up a hill.

I'm not looking to rain on anyone's parade.
I'm glad folks are enjoying what they are seeing with Keith's performances.
From the videos which I've viewed, it would seem he has a way to go to get into tour shape.
Compare this to Jagger the other night, who, while somewhat winded in his 1st song and may have well been ill, recovered
terrifically to give a great performance. Compare what has been viewed to date last night of Keith to Jeff Beck's performance the other night.
Or for that matter Buddy Guy from the other night. Or, as noted here Clapton's performance, even Ronnie's tour last year with The Faces.
These are all Keith's peers, well Guy is older, which says alot. Keith, barely playing guitar, is not ready for any worldwide swing.
Maybe Keith's happy with this.
Just my two cents.
I'm ready to take my beating.

Folks, this is how it should be.

WOW! Keith's ready to tour!!,

great to see even though it's shakey as hell, I kept looking at the tuning pegs on his guitar & being so shakey it looked like 6 pegs on each side, that would make it 12, but can't be?

Look, I've said for years it would fascinating if Keith became a Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits-type vernacular musician who explores anew country and blues and Americana. Add something like that to the literary bon vivant he has become, and you'd have a vitally interesting late-period Keith.

But that's not what he's going to be asked to do this year. He's going to have to play Rolling Stones music this year, when everything in his bones (quite literally!) is telling him he can't anymore.

Yes, I can see what you mean, Clapton has looked after himself, he's been sober for 20 some years I believe & he's never stopped playing, Keith just doesn't look after himself, the only thing that makes a musician good is practice!

Oh, things will be alright for the last big go-round. How could they be any worse than what I witnessed in 2006?? At least Ronnie will be sober this time. Man, I have boots from '06, video too, and quite often they make me grimace cus of what the guitar players are doing..or not doing...often they are just absent!
But it does seem like mick & Keith are not on the same page. Micks talkin bout an energetic performance/spectacle, and Keith is content to sit on a stool and doodle and croon. I'd like some of both please.
