Frankly I'm too zonked by lack of sleep to write much at this point but it was certainly a great Stones show. I managed to get fourth or fifth row in the pit, centre in front of Jagger, despite not having VIP entry and not pushing in either. Met some great people in the queue and all in all the wait for them to come on went really quickly. Felt a bit nervous for Mick's voice at first as he was clearly conserving it (but was not "shit" as said elsewhere), but he got more and more assured as the show went on. In the second half in particular he was spectacular. The truly amazing thing to be able to say is that Keith was on fire from beginning to end and was an absolute joy to watch. At times he seemed so locked in to the music he was in a world of his own, at other times he was engaged with both band and audience but at all times was completely committed and clearly loving being out there. I thought YGMR worked really well in the number 3 spot and I can see why they stick with it. Rambler was simply the best version I ever heard and I've heard a few. Start Me Up was really powerful, Brown Sugar they just didn't want to end and all in all they appeared to be having as great a time for themselves as they made it for us. It's hard to believe that it could all end in the near future when they're playing like this and on the other hand it's incredible that they've come this far. Whether my last Stones show or not it's almost certainly the first and last time I get a Pit ticket and that made it a very special experience worth crossing the world for. Thank you, Rolling Stones!

Keith is a strong man to have come back like this. His quiet message, it's never too late to fix yourself. Granted he has all the kings horses to help him but the path is there for us all. Mick of course led the way for both Ronnie and Keith. The RS did much to escalate the glamor of drug abuse but this final unexpected turn is really the story of 50 and counting. Not quite redemption but admirable nonetheless. Bravo!Quote

A great thing with this photo is the the fact that Keith can smile these days.
In the old days he couldn't. His old teeth didn't allow him to...

What's going on with the unidentified person on stage handing Mick something out of what looks like a David Jones bag?

He's handing him a life size koala toy. (See other pics.) Mick went on to say you had to cuddle one if visiting Brisbane - mocking the G20 photo opportunities.

Thank you for your review, rebelrebel! I found Keith's fire, commitment and joy, as you say, right from the beginning, in this Youtube clip of a smashing Jumpin Jack Flash. How many kicks with his leg did he do during this? Hard to say from this video, but it appears like quite a lot. Yes, it's a joy to watch and to listen to, even if only on Youtube.
EDIT: Oops, forgot to add the video.
