Tell Me :
Talk
In what way? He sang very nice in Roskilde. Did he miss some cues again?
He missed every cue EXCEPT the opening 3 lines I think!!! The band and HE were exchanging glances for about 4 minutes....."what are we doing?" sort of stuff...he kept looking at the teleprompter and ignoring it.......absolute shambles. Of course, being Keith, I forgive him......just!
Can't wait for the video
He glanced quite a bit at the prompter in Roskilde as well, but he even controlled when the band should get into the bridge, so I'd say he had it down here.

Well as has been noted his vocal is pretty thin, but at the lower register there is a sweet spot for sure.
Really suits his older voice to sing at that lower key and sound is great.
Re: Keith's Best Solo Vocal Performance
He is really showing his vulnerability and sensitivity here. Absolutely love it!
Yes.
I didn't know you knew I liked it!
Memory Motel I think its Mick and Keith

Keith's Best Solo Vocal Performance

I have never been a big fan of Keith's solo vocals. His voice is raspy, weak, and strained. But sometimes a raspy and strained voice is perfect for a song, such as the classic, The Nearness of You, by Hoagy Carmichael. I have listened to it many times and can find no fault with any of it. His guitar work is minimalistic, melodic, and perfect for the lyrics. The back up singing is wonderful, and Ronnie is great in a back up guitar role.
If anyone can think of a song he has performed better, I would like to find out what that song is.

IMHO his best performance is The Worst. I adore his performance in Miami 1994 (DVD). The Raspiness and sweetness of his tone together with his minimalistic range (a positive attribute) perfectly complement the lyrics and melody

Doesn't "solo" mean Keith's work outside the Stones?
Or are we being asked about his performances as a lead vocalist in general?
I can't pick a favourite among Keith's amazing vocals - maybe the time in Vienna when you could feel his singing on your skin.
This Place Is Empty - and he filled the whole stadium with his voice.
Whoever up there said Wanna Hold You is a crap song should check out the so-called Honeymoon Tapes -
with just Keith and an open-g acoustic guitar, that number sounds the way it was supposed to sound: strong and wild!

Yeah, Memory Motel doesn't count since it's not a lead vocal by Keith.

The studio version of "Demon".
A hugely under-rated tune imo.
