May I point out a simple mistake which is easy to do for the non english speaking (as first language) poster: Where and were are easy to mix up since they sound alike.
However were is imperfect of are and where is an adverb or conjunction which projects direction or existence. Have I made myself clear or have I confused the matter even more?

Keith had been practicing. That is all! He is coping with incredible arthritis and we should all be very proud of his current abilities all things considered.

May be it was because this time they could concentrate on a little amount of shows.
And concentrate their power fully on a very recuced tour-schedule.
Without havin the weight of a 200 concerts-Tour to follow in their mind, they were
free to put all their power in each of those only 5 gigs.
Ah, a much needed "second" opinion! To me the first show was the best and it went downhill from there. By the time they did the final show, the pay-per-view, they were running on empty...without the horns and Blondie playing extra guitar parts it put the pressure on Keith and Ronnie to do more than they had done in 25 years, and they weren't able to do it most of the time! That's why they had guest guitarists at every show and rolled out Mick Taylor to give them some punch. Listen to the opening songs on the ppv, they are flat as a pancake, no punch at all...they don't get a lift till Lady GaGa forced them to match her energy level on Gimme Shelter, when Mick talked about the Newtown massacre after GS he was gasping for breath!Quote

In great form? I think that is exegerrated. Based on
my listenings to excellent sounding recordings from
both London shows I cannot judge it more than 'mediocre'
Espec both Keith and Ronnie are just 'so so'. Charlie
has played better at former tours but as usual it is
Jagger lifting up the level. Take à listen again now à few months
after the hype and I am curious if people have different
opinions now

I first saw the Stones live in '65 with Brian Jones, saw them twice in '69 and '72 with Mick Taylor...I have no desire to pay hundreds of dollars to see them look/sound like an old over the hill tribute band!
