"By Keith's own admission, his long layoff from the guitar (while concentrating on his book, etc.) has left him a bit rusty".
It's going to take a hammer and chisel to break through that thick layer of rust.
Possibly even a jackhammer.

So you think Keith's had it and should throw in the towel???

Comes a time when the body has to give out....whether it's Keiths brain or fingers or both...who knows, but he's an old man, an old man who has seriously abused body and mind for many years. There is always a price to pay and playing a show of 2 hours over a period of weeks, months or years is going to be extremely difficult if you are not firing on all cylinders mentally and physically. The other way is to take lots of drugs...Keith did this for a long time to tour and it's unlikely that is an option any more.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Keith fan..love the guy and his music, but I would hate to see him stumbling about playing three note solos and on a final tour. If he could do one great last show that would do for me. He's paid his dues to us and the musical world ingeneral, he shouldn't need to do anything which could put his remaining health at risk or ruin his legacy.

By Keith's own admission, his long layoff from the guitar (while concentrating on his book, etc.) has left him a bit rusty. But he's been dipping his feet in the pool this year, with the recent event at the Apollo and with next week's event in Baton Rouge. Additionally, on February 26, he paid tribute to Chuck Berry at the JFK Library in Boston, by performing Chuck's "Promised Land" alongside Elvis Costello. Chuck didn't play, but Keith got to chat with him, as well as with the evening's o

He's just a bit rusty, I think he's old enough and around long enough to know.
