Am i wrong in stating that band played/recorded a few of the tracks to love you live the week(and possible day of) Keiths infant son dying?

.....keep on rolling.....

...around 6 june 1976 in Paris.....

And...
Lwren is different. Im not minimizing the death of an infant in any way - we all know how sad and painful that is..
But the sudden (alleged) suicide of your partner, lover, friend, whatever - is a different kind of tragedy. Im glad they cancelled the tour.
Bravo to Keith, Charlie, Ronnie for supporting Mick during this time.

Yes, exactly, just waiting for this post, and this was the best show Keith ever did.

was not my intent to compare the two....sorry if that offended anyone....with that being said....You can always get what you want was put on love you live....i think keith said it was one of the most passionate recordings of that song ever

.....keep on rolling.....

I might have commented too soon...
there was a thought after I posted that you may not have meant it as disrespectful, because there are those who will and have expressed that attitude:
"The Stones need to move on...they have a responsibility to fans ..'etc..
I apologize if I misinterpreted your comment as such.

appreciate that, no offense taken i just wanted to clarify ya know

.....keep on rolling.....

And at that time Keith was taking stuff that de-sentisied some emotions - at least until he eased off.

From interviews later I remember he remained in terrible pain

Mick went onstage in 2006 to perform 4 hours after his dad had died.

Its very different if you know your father is sick for awhile. And also, they are older. At Mick's age, you kind of see that coming at some point. I can absolutely see him performing after hearing that news, 1. because its probably a very helpful release, and 2. because from a father/son perspective, its probably one of those situations where a son is thinking this is what his father would have wanted. I think they are completely different scenarios.

Yes, I would say the Keith and his son thing is a more comparable, but that was also the 70s, which meant alot. As mentioned, Keith was not completely in the right state of mind, and they were all also much much younger and probably worried about different things than they would be at their current age. If that happened today, you can be assured Keith would act much differently.
