Watching Win Butler on stage, also reminded me how short all of the Stones are.
I find it strange you could get so many guys together (including Wyman and Jones ... at 168cm, the shortest of the lot) and have them all largely being midgets. Maybe Taylor the only one who might be "average" height.
Not to mention Chuck and Bobby Keys are also midgets. How tall was Ian Stewart? Darryl is not tall either, maybe same height as Jagger.
the stones are all shorties cos they are british war babies...rationing made all babies small there....and small babies become shorties as adults.
I thought the chain smoking during that era would have counteracted that effect.
the fags were shorties too - everybody had to sacrifice

Think about how much shorter they'd all have been had the fags been 'king-sized'.
I guess 'queen-sized' mighta been more appropriate.

Keith Richards is treading water at best. But I still enjoyed the hell out of the shows I went to.
Well said....live is an "event", however, I think even Taylorites must admit, Ronnie is perfect for the job at hand. So sympathetic..... he kind of sits and waits to see if Keith falters(SFTD), and when he does, unobtrusively plays a studio lick, or something that doesn't steal the stage, but moves the song along. I don't think MT could or would provide this kind of safety net.......as I mentioned a couple weeks ago, Ronnie is a good wife.
Ronnie is the secret weapon on this tour. He's got my vote for MVP.
If we take Mick Jagger out of the equation then I agree.
MJ is the defacto MVP on every tour.
Indefatigable.

Creates an interesting paradox, he is also responsible for the emergence of Chuck and the Vegas feel.

There have been a lot of comments that seem to peg Keith as the weak link in the line-up and numerous flubbed intros and other guitar parts have been mentioned as well.
People are forgetting that Keith has to take the anti-seizure medication, dilantin, on a daily basis, and there are numerous side effects--particularly for long-term users, which Keith now is--among them muddled coordination. Consider also that during the second half of the Bigger Bang tour, Keith was also drinking heavily in combination with this drug.
Here is a list of the common side effects:
jerking movements of the eyes
decreased coordination
shaking of the hands
slowed thinking and movement
memory problems
slurred speech
poor concentration

Long-term use can also cause a calcium and vitamin D imbalance, resulting in impaired and weakened bone structure.

its funny, if you read the whole thing you find out the idiot was sitting 3 rows from the back wall.
he either read too much into a shot on the video screen or he just wanted to say something stupid.
think he would've had the same review if his $85 ticket wouldve got him in the pit? me neither.

Keith does not look in Mick's direction? I assume the reporter is blind. Just like Keith does not have to watch the strings of his guitar at all times in order to play. They have been doing this for 50 years. I watch them every night they play and I can say they are pretty close even if they do not exchange eye contact like new lovers who just met last night.

I think the huge majority of the people who interest in the Stones music are happy for the same reason, Slew. Don't leave the board due to the ATTAFEC Party

Apparently not. No one made the duo Stones and F1 the same day!

I'll take any Keith Richards than none at all. In 2006, I could tell he was slowing down. I was surprised when I saw the show. Seemed even a little depressed with no expression a lot. He got better as the gigs went on but it was a sharp contrast to what I saw even 3 years earlier. Any Stones is better than none. I am grateful that they are still here to play for us.

I'm happy to have the Stones with us and playing at a fairly high level. I'm about done with this board. The people here have become tiresome. As Rick Pitino once said when he coached the Celtics "The negativity here sucks".
