he plagiarized, then. that story has been told countless times.
Strange..Jeff refused to adapt to the Stones sound.. Beck is a bit of a bastard, always in for a musical joke, although the Stones seemed to enjoy him, and that's an understatement. But in the end it was a Stones party.
or maybe he just doesn't know many?
oh. that again.

Yes. Simply because he was at a bad, bad place, and now he is above that place. There are greater heights to reach, though
Awww....thank ya kindly!
No it isnt, I dont believe you.
Sorry but what I mean is Keith was never really bad in the 70s and while the 76 tour wasnt as good as the 1975 tour every show had some great numbers. He was nodding off during Knebworth but still in the game somehow.

I thought Keith's licks, fills and solos were great on the recent shows.
Wth Keith it's always been about the feel, the roll.
Mayer and Clarke were great too, but shredding gets boring. It's the feel baby.

He is never going to be the Keith of 1969, just as I won't be the crumbling mice of 1979 when I played my best guitar. But musicians adapt and we focus on our strengths. It was fantastic to see Keith concentrating on laying the rhythm down, he looked like the grandad of Rock n Roll. I prefer this to say the 40 licks or ABB tour where he was posing throughout the show, but playing hardly anything.
The man has matured, he is confident in his role, he doesnt have to prove anything and he enjoys it. Let's enjoy him while we can.

Seems like he give a f*ck now. His solo at The Super Bowl was beyond embarrassing perhaps he heard it. Keith is an icon and a genius if I had to complain I'd say over the years he took the stage for granted and was often trashed beyond respect for the audience. Apparently that's water under the bridge now but it's not silly to think the the band could have been mightier in the past 20 years had he thought about the crowd and his mates more. Still that wouldn't be Keith and we still love him even though he now lives in Connecticut.

Simple. He got (at least relatively) sober. Lots of people in the Stones camp say Keith was drinking heavily - even by Keef standards - towards the end of the ABB Tour. This was made worse because alcohol interacts badly with the medication he had to take after his head injury. Having followed the Stones for decades, I would make an educated guess that Mick demanded that Keith sober up and focus on his playing or there would be no shows. Knowing how much Keith loves playing onstage with The Rolling Stones, the thought that it may never happen again may just have been the impetus for him to bite the bullet and get down to business. He obviously appears more sober, focused, and concentrating on the contribution that the Stones require from him in order to sound like the Stones. No, he may never play with the panache and abandon we loved from about '69 - '82, but he sounds a lot more like the Keith Richards we love than he has in a long time. Plus, as mentioned elsewhere, he's not so young anymore, but given his history of copious chemical ingestion, it's a miracle he's playing so well at his age....not to mention still being alive!

Crumblingmice said it all.
Keith's obviously healed up. The head wound was probably more serious than they let out to the press. Why they continued with the tour was probably due to the amount of cash and insurance loss they would have incurred. He was most likely on some very strong neural drugs, combined with the injury, created the usual related problems with lack of concentration, probably some hearing issues, fine and gross motor issues.
Keith's said in interviews he is sober. And it showed. He isn't drinking as much and probably mostly only smoking da weed. Which as was stated above helps with the arthritis, and strangely will help with his musical ear, and coordination. Yeah, Keith is in his 70s not playing the same as the 70's. So what else would you expect? But, these shows showed us a new Keith, full of focus, grim determination, and a need to disprove the cynics.

I think there is an optimistic element here: Probably was not arthritis the main reason why Keith had problems during some parts of ABB tour (although i hadn't seen and heard the definition of a "dead guitarist" then, but that's another story). If Keith's main health problem had to do with arthritis, then he would have more problems on stage in 2012, as he is older now, unless... Unless the postulate "time brings an unavoidable recrudescence of arthritis, you can do nothing about it" is not accurate...
In any case, now Keith seems to be healthy enough, in good shape and in good mood. And, as we have expectations for the next months, not for the next decades, Keith seems to have sufficient "fuel" in his "tank".
PS: RobertJohnson, maybe you have right in general about 70s, but worst Keith ever i have seen and heard was Knebworth's Keith... In 1976.
No it isnt, I dont believe you.
Sorry but what I mean is Keith was never really bad in the 70s and while the 76 tour wasnt as good as the 1975 tour every show had some great numbers. He was nodding off during Knebworth but still in the game somehow.Re: How can Keith be so effective after 5 years?
