Keith seems to be back to his normal self on this tour. I have ssen them twice so far and his movement onstage seems very natura. He seems more relaxed, sitting on Charlie's drum riser at times, just hanging and playing. He is still pretty animated, as he always has been especially when sonically accenting a note or chord.....but it is subtle again and not over the top.

Seen them thrice, would agree. Quite a bit of hanging out with Ron and Daryl, sitting on Charlie's drum riser, and in general - grinning from ear to ear the whole time. The man's a star !

He's too busy trying to remember the lyrics to all those different songs he's playing on this tour to pose. Oh no, wait, that can't be it. Jesus, Keith, please give us something other than the worst or infamy!

ohnonotyouagain says "Keith, please give us something other than the worst or infamy!"

You Got The Silver, perhaps? Oh, no, not Happy again...

There has been some posing but,not too much.A little is alright by me if it doesn't disrupt the songs.I vote for How Can I Stop,Coming Down Again,Connection,This Place Is Empty a handful of times,and The Harder They Come.

Yeah, he is a bit more restrained, which is most welcome. I used to love his mugging and posing, but it became so rote and overdone that I almost cringed last time out.

There's nothing better than seeing him hanging out with Darryl and Ronnie and just laying down a nice, solid groove. That's the perfect vision of a working band.

My belief is that the "posing" was generated by the shitheads running the giant TV screen above the stage, telling the band "move around, give them something to look at".

On this tour I noticed something different about the giant video screen and how it is used. On the last few tours the image on the screen changed every three to four seconds.....a pretty frantic pace. On this tour that is out. I have watched all different members of the band for 30, 40 seconds at a time on the big screen.....and what a welcome change the newer pace is. Changing shots every 3 to 4 seconds made my head spin..........so far this tour, they let you get a good long look instead of a snippet. I hope they keep it up.

Can't wait for my 2 January Shows in MSG.

Throw me down the keys

Maybe he's just tired of all the posing and just wants to play.
