Thank you very much for pics ans videos!
I didn`d believe all the talking about Keith not being able to play anymore, but could not resist completely and not to worry)) Now I see, nothing to be afraid).

Ok, good to see keith but I can't imagine him on stage for a tour. He is no more the motor. It was only a blues and he just follow the others. At the end of the song he leaves his guitar immediatly like it was too much for him. I think he always love playing guitar but doesn't want to play in public. He plays for himself at home or in a studio. He would like to do more but he can't. He knows that and I take this exhibition like a present. Let him in peace, we have all there records, outtakes, live tapes, the vaults are open, what do you want more, musicians in wheelchairs. Let's do him what he wants to do.

Obviously ha can still hold a guitar and take a few chords, play a few solos etc. My point is that he plays ten times worse than he did 10-15 years ago. And look at those poor fingers, he can hardly play with his right hand and it seems to be a struggle.

Rubbish.
I think Keith plays just fine, even without pick.
Tho`I gotta say that the song is booooring...!!
But there's nothin wrong with his playing, - if they wanna tour, that would be just fine.

No there's nothing 'wrong' with his playing but it's a former shadow of Keith 10 years ago, never mind 20 or 30 years. And fair play to him - he's pushing 70, clearly his fingers are swollen like crazy. Some musicians are lucky and manage to keep all the magic even into their 70's and beyond, but unfortunately Keith is not one of those. No way could he do a full on Stones tour - I'd be surprised if they even do a handful of 'anniversary' shows.
Still great to see him on stage though.
Agree with that. He wrote his own part in rock'n'roll history. He has the worst thing for a guitarist, arthritis, it's like he loose his hands but perhaps, not touring is not so important for him as for the fans.Quote

Great with someone understanding here among the people thinking "Keith will do a 150 date world tour with the stones starting next year". As Roll73 is writing, the man is soon 70 and he can´t do it the way he could 10-15 years ago. Actually i would be very surprised if he even could play as he did on ABB, i doubt it. Keiths finest moments are behind him, why can´t you just accept it and be grateful for everything he has done for us all.

Could someone please post link to news where it says that Keith has arthritis.
And I dont mean a page where they talk about arthritis - I mean a page where theres evidence that Keith has arthritis. Or is this just another gossip ?
Keiths finest moments are behind him, - I agree, gimme a break - the guy´s 70, but so what, he can still tour if he wants to. Look at Honeyboy Edwards, Look at BB King for christ sakes, - if Keith wants to go on tour and play the blues with a help of Ronnie and others - He can do it. I'm grateful for everything he has done for us all. If he wants to quit touring, that's fine. But I've seen much older guys on stage than Keith. And besides, they could easily have their "50th bash" around the world - maybe with the help of younger guys, but so what...
And besides, Keith sounds alright on that new live video with Depp...When I watched that youtube video, I just felt like screaming "Give The Man a guitar pick, you @#$%&!! " Hahahah.

I've never seen Keith or anyone else confirm in public that he has arthritis. So It´s a @#$%& gossip - nothing more - and there´s video and the man plays fine, I guess it´s matter of opinion and musical taste, but it sounded good enough for me.
And that´s Keith Richards were talking about here..dont forget.
