No he didn't (spend the show on Ronnie's side), WTF?? I even thought how comparatively rarely he went over there.
Jeez. Can we NOT do the "Tier 3 are better than those snobs in Tier 1" thing? The band didn't do that, we don't have to either. Why is it impossible to enjoy a show without insulting someone else?
Here's what I've noticed with KR: Nowadays, he plays along to the song instead of playing the song. In other words, he comes off okay at times with his tendency to add rhythmic accents with a chord here, a strum there, but he can't seem to hold a pattern down from the start to finish of a song. Which is why Chuck needs to hold the rhythm chords down so often. With these little accents, mini-riffs, and fills it's a little harder to figure what he meant to play in the first place. When called upon to play a readily identifiable series of notes and chords (like the intros to SMU, BS, GS, IORR etc ) he often comes up lacking.

Amazing pics, both of you! (I must have been pretty much next to you, my
pics look similar but blurred. :p )
But the first gig back then was far more interesting and better than this one.
Upon listening to the clips I sense that Keith was befuddled.
If you see an insult in my post, i assume English is not your native language.

Absolutely agree with you. The geekiness in me loves to dissect guitar mistakes in this post-mortem of a fantastic gig to the extent that I had to pick up my Telecaster like some kind of accident investigator! But that's part of why I love this band, especially KR. Because, it's our mistakes that make us human and I love KR even more for the fact that he has never been afraid or ashamed of his foibles. He seems quite vulnerable at the moment and I love him even more for that. There was a telling moment last night when a fan threw a coat or something at Keith when he was on the catwalk. Keith picked it up and gave a look which said 'thanks but what am I gonna do with this', at which point Jagger like an elderly brother and protector grabbed the said garment and tossed it back into the audience.
Gorgeous gig and can't wait for next Sat.
This is an easy fix. signature sound of Micawber and tweed Twin...you won't even notice it. I'd be more worried about the lenght of parts on other songs like Bitch for instance
Fully agreed on your last point (same "frame of mind" as when someone rejoiced they had dropped ER when we got that stellar setlist at LA/2, what can you do...). About Keith, correct I was just thinking to myself that if I go with T3 next Saturday I won't see as much of Keith (assuming I can make it as a close which is very unlikely!).
Sorry I missed you Aquamarine, it's not easy to spot the IORR people, I did recognize Grison from one of the pictures he'd posted in November though. We need an IORR badge!
@desertblues68 - yeah there definitely was some electricity in the air like at all Stones' show I've been to, it's part of the thrill. Mick did look pretty relaxed though (as much as a control freak can be relaxed!). Agreed on their "uniqueness"! They make it look easy but frankly who else can put up that kind of show? What a contrast with the opening bands who just seemed happy to recreate their studio recordings, like most bands really.

What is Let it Be as referenced in this advert? Please tell me the film is getting a proper release?
Hi Gaz,
Great to meet you (albeit briefly): yer pal Rog was top entertainment and it was truly something to see the three generations of beards, hah-hah! Good work!
Hi Jazzbass,
[www.letitbelondon.com]
That should fill in the blanks!
Cheers,
Simon.
Sadly not. It's a stage show by the looks of the advert.
I think he is not necessarily one the greatest guitar players but he certainly is one of the greatest creative guitar artists. In 81/82 tours he was still tapping rhythm all the time with his foot and playing great solos and great rhythm with an awesome drive (maybe in coke but still) but I really don't expect him to do that anymore. In 81/82 tours he was the backbone of the guitar section, Ronnie was the unstable and unreliable one, in that respect the tables have turned completely.
100% agree.
Hey, you are obviously reading my mind!
Talk about your favorite band.

Hi Silver Dagger
I was the DJ at the Scala when the Groovies played on Tuesday, plus I interviewed them for a feature you can find at onlyrockanroll.wordpress.com where you can also find a list of the records I played (hope you appreciated the inclusion of 2000 Light Years From Home!)

it's little things like the @#$%& up on the SMU intro that make me still love Keef
he did the same thing on Brown Sugar at Hocekenheim in 2003. Who gives a shit ?
They sounded better than the last time they played Hyde Park so all's well with the world
But the first gig back then was far more interesting and better than this one.

Of course, right now, it's just a list...I'll have to wait for the video to show up to see and hear what's what but the photos of Mick & Keith beaming at each other bode well.
Undoubtedly best show ever.
Legendary. I can hear Chuck's keys on SFTD now. Best Chuck yet.
The only thing more ridiculous than judging a show merely by looking at the set list, is judging how much of a fan someone is by by the amount of critical thinking, or lack thereof, there is in their comments.....
Best fan ever......legendary.
Upon listening to the clips I sense that Keith was befuddled.

Really enjoyed the concert the atmosphere was electric and a great performance is made not only by.the artist but also by.the response of the audience. I know there were a few mistakes and the setlist was crowd pleasing albeit with a dusting of rarities. I believe in freedom of expression, but what I don't get is how some fans who can obviously play the guitar professionally or otherwise dissect Keef's playing to infinitty and beyond. We all know that Keef is no longer at the height of his powers but he is performing better than during the ABB tour. He has contributed to that ramshackle rawness that is part of the Stones greatness He is one of the greatest guitarists ever. All the greatest artists in whatever field are technically imperfect but show raw emotion and vulnerability.
Absolutely agree with you.

Keith's opening foible reminds me of the 2002 Toronto show where Keith charged out to open the show with SFM then promptly fell on his ass.
(The camera pans to Mick as he takes the dive but after you can see Daryll helping him get back up).
All in all a classic entrance..

Hello,
Yesterday was all about the social side of things, for me: I passed on the O2 shows late last year and really missed the Pilot Inn pre-show meets...for me, they are at least half of the fun!
The Monkey Puzzle and the St. Giles later on had a ton of IORRians (although other fan-sites are available, ahem...) in attendance at different times and I thoroughly enjoyed shaking a few hands and talking complete rubbish to these good folk. Whether or not they enjoyed it is a different matter altogether, hah-hah!
Although I am a tad fragile today (must have had a bad bottle of cider...) so please forgive me if I leave anyone out: great to see Adrian-L. (cheers for sorting the ticket), Angelique and her Mum, Irish Johnnie, Jo, MOWAT & BQ, Natalia, MonkeyTonkMan, Green Lady, NickB, Teleblaster, StrayCat UK, Rob, some bloke who was a bit mental but who claimed to have been at the original H.P. show, Odean73 and some other bloke called Gazza. I know there were other victims but names escape me...
I settled for not trying to get anywhere remotely close to the stage and purely enjoy the show in my own little space: as Odean73 may well confirm, I did play some extraordinarily fine air guitar and we sang our knackers off. Other people can critique the show way better than I but all I'll say is that I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you were there then I hope that you did too!
Cheers,
Simon.

What an atrocity.

But lately, the excitement has worn off and I just don't hear it. At all.
Ronnie is doing pretty well, but Keith is still struggling. Not as badly as ABB, thank god, but it's still pretty dire at times. The basic timing is just off on a lot of songs, even the standards...it's really hard to listen to.

Here's what I've noticed with KR: Nowadays, he plays along to the song instead of playing the song. In other words, he comes off okay at times with his tendency to add rhythmic accents with a chord here, a strum there, but he can't seem to hold a pattern down from the start to finish of a song. Which is why Chuck needs to hold the rhythm chords down so often. With these little accents, mini-riffs, and fills it's a little harder to figure what he meant to play in the first place. When called upon to play a readily identifiable series of notes and chords (like the intros to SMU, BS, GS, IORR etc ) he often comes up lacking.
100% agree.
