I have to say that from watching all videos possible online since december (yeah I havent been to any shows) Keith's focus onstage has been the difference and as a result they are playing better as a band. Probably better than 89'. Keith's new approach of just standing in front of Charlie and leaving the whole stage for Jagger has been glorious. Also the addition of Mick Taylor seems very promising - just heard San Jose 's Satisfaction : talk about chemistry. Wood is playing great too. Musicaly the Stones are in the zone, too bad they can't write a decent song these days. Whope we get a great recorded DVD.

Actually, I don't know how you could even come up with that assessment. The Stones as a whole arguably would have played better in 89 simply because they were younger (ie Keith in particular) and healthier...

The worst thing about 1989 was Mick's haircut and those black high rise sneaker-shoes.

In 1989 Keith Richards and Charlie Watts were in better shape, but the sound maybe better at the moment. Two things about the recent shows surprised me: Ronnie Wood plays better than in the last twenty years, and Mick Taylor found back into the Stones fastly.
