So, it's basically what some of us have said when they 'rehearsed' in London. Jagger just told the rest he wouldn't do anything with the Stones. 'Not stage ready' means Richards is not up to it: Wood, Watts and Wyman all have showed they are in good form in the last months, Richards has shown he just lost the ability to play anything at all.

Very well put, but I hope there's nothing a lot of practice and rehearsals can't fix.

I do not think that any practice can fix it. There is a question - why did not he practice before to be ready in time? Yes - he was busy with his literary career
One performance, the final bow - when everything and everybody are hiding KR's unability - it's possible. Richards can be on the stage only with a safety net. But live broadcast, in front of millions of viewers - he is not in this league now. He could only smile a fake smile and enjoy the attention of journalists

If you only manage to practise a couple of hours during five years: Of course you won't be ready! Why did they wait five years before going into a studio? Keith's health status doesn't improve the longer they'll wait. On the contrary.

What a strange thing to say. They've had how long to get it together? A LONG TIME.
Is Jagger assumming that they were going to be asked?

They were asked and they declined.

The magic is when Keith hit the wrong chords and they do "If You Can't Rock Me" when the set list and Ronnie's gitar setup etc are all ready for "You Got Me Rocking" (Brisbane 2003).
