I had a great time on each and every one of them.

Well, having a great time at something is not saying the show/performance/etc was great.

All you have to do is listen. And when it's compared to even the Licks tour then yes, it was bad.

I've seen two shows (Düsseldorf and Amsterdam). Both shows were mediocre, the acoustic in Amsterdam was awful, the guitar playing of Keith in Düsseldorf horrible; from the boots I recognize that the guitar work of Ronnie and Keith declined unfortunately in general. Ronnies solos in the first part of the tour were really lousy (e. g. SMU or YCAGWYW or TD), then the solos were slightly better, but the "Post-falling-tree-Keith" matched Ronnie of the first part of the tour, hear e. g. his "solo" on SFTD in "Shine a Light". Thus I think we saw and heard mediocre guitar work at the best. Since the Stones are a guitar band, the tour 05-07 wasn't among their best.

Coming from someone that doesn't think Keith has arthritis in his fingers that comment makes total sense.

Again - youre missing the point - if he's got it - it didnt stop him from playing great, and it didnt bother the show at all.

You can't do much about the acoustics, can you?

You don't get it. There is no IF he's got it - he DOES. And the decline of the ability of Keith has been noticed by a lot of people, especially on the Bang tour. It's one thing to have fun at a show and catch them actually performing well, it's another to think they are the greatest rock'n'roll band in the world these days as well as the previous few tours when they were called that as they entered their peak performance years touring and recently they're not anywhere near great. You think Keith's playing is great on the Bang tour? Well good for you. Obviously your idea of what is great is way off the mark when it comes to reality.

Could you be more spesific?
I saw the Olympia show in 2003, and Keith was no where near the cords on Hand of fate, except for the beginning and that theme. I'm impressed that they gave it out on the dvd set, but they covered it up pretty nicely... :-) Anyway, my point is that Keith has done increadibly bad songs since the day he entered the stage for the first time, nothing new in that. So he had a bad solo on Sympathy, or whatever, but does that mean he plays bad all the time?
Well, I just don't think so. He doesn't play the same way as in 69, but to this day I enjoy most of his work on the Shine A Light movie as one example. His timing and licks are increadble imo.
