They should have Keith sing "Memory Motel"

If you go back in time far enough, it used to be that he got none.
Then it went to one.
Now it's two.
In my opinion, no offense, but the most boring part of any Stones concert is the Keith part.
I think they should go back to one.
I must respectfully disagree. Thirty years ago, I might've agreed, but now... now, Mick's voice is totally shot to my ears, and Keith's voice is great for a 71 year old man who did heroin for a decade. Or at least compared to Mick's. Happy is now a highlight over Tumbling Dice. I heard Mick's voice at the Glastonbury festival two years back, and it was terrible. He's gone from a great singer to a decrepit rapper... whereas Keith's gotten almost better with age. Keith just needs to do more of his upbeat stuff, maybe toss some solo stuff in there, and he'd probably upstage Mick.Quote

Come to think of it, maybe that's why they do less Keith stuff.

I agree that Keith just keeps getting better! After listening to Slipping Away from Stripped, I think he sounded even better in San Diego. My guess is that it's just been longer since he stopped the drugs/cut down on smoking, so he's had longer for his voice to recover and reach full potential

totally agree. he is also getting better about playing guitar and singing at the same time, something he seemed to struggle to do for the last 10 or 15 years.
i think if we stick with the standard 2 keith song break for mick in the middle, and then at the end have mick and keith end up both singing on a song like "memory motel" or "salt of the earth", that would be great. then for the encore come back with some great rockers, even warhorses, but best of all a chuck berry cover sung by mick.

None would be best. I'm sure Jagger could change his shirt or jacket (or both) without Keith having to belt out two numbers. Which, by the way, is more and more becoming just a boring routine.
They could cut out the band introduction as well. It's just time consuming. And I guess we know their names by now...
This is outrageous
I've forgotten the keyboard players name countless times and am always obliged when Michael reminds me...
the wisecracks as the expense of ronnie and to a lesser extent charlie during the intros are also priceless... in fact, i've heard it said they alone were worth the price of admission... indeed, one of the main reasons wyman is missed by some is the wisecracks about him mick would make in the intros.

How about just having Jagger play slide and letting Keith and Ronnie trade off vocals for the whole show with (possibly) a brief interlude for the Charlie Watts Jazz Orchestra?

He does hang in there with them. Unlike Jagger many times. ("It Won't Take Long")
"Wanna Hold You" was played for every show during '97 / '98. "All About You" for most '97 shows and a couple of times in Europe '99.
Jagger would have completely given up on something like "Can't Be Seen" by the way it started out in 2014 but Richards hung in there until they got it down better ... at least a couple of times such as the version at the PinkPop festival.
I think at this point, I would rather listen to Keith sing the entirety of Talk Is Cheap live than to Mick sing the entirety of SF live. Because Mick. Can. NOT. SING. As I said earlier, he's turned into a decrepit rapper... and Keith's solo stuff isn't so badQuote
Turner68Absolutely. Would go a long way to fixing the stale set list problem if he played more.Quote

...So I would be saying Keith's guitar playing is terrible? I'm the only one who brought up the subject of singing, so I'm assuming you're responding to me, but I said Mick can't sing. So Keith is better than Mick.Quote
treaclefingersIt sounds as though you're suggesting Mick's singing is as good as Keith's guitar playing. I can't accept that.Quote
