Am I off base in thinking that the band camaraderie seems much higher now than previous legs of 50 and Counting/ 14 on Fire?
It seemed like things were still pretty icy between Mick and Keith when they first regrouped and hit the road and Keith's "foot in mouth" quotes in Rolling Stone about the sincerity of his apology certainly didn't help. Though a lot of those shows were great, they seemed to have a certain business like feel to them.
There seems to be a real sense of joy, even love, with these shows. The smiles are real. The fact that they are doing things off stage together, and not for the benefit of a publicity photographer, certainly feels a world different than a year or two ago as well.
Anyone else feel the same way?

They rock hard and continue to rock harder. I could care less whether they like or hate each other. Think about how good it has been when they detested each other. Keith would hit a power chord and snarl at Mick.
MJ would then spin around and squeal at Keith. Fabulous seat of your pants, in your face rock and roll.
They would then grin at each other. They knew exactly what they were doing. Well controlled lunacy. All controlled by The Master, MICK JAGGER.
At her feet was a footloose man.
ha ha lipsogreen there is that to.... we all love that tension in the air, bit not too much , if you know what i mean. sometimes i thought they were going to come to blows lol

yes CMH516100 i agree, One hundred percent, its better between all of them.
I thought it was awkward watching them late 2012 with the 02 gigs.
they did a live pay per view and i thought there seemed to be a lot of pent up anger coming from Mick towards Keith. and that seemed to continue through 2013
it kind of spoils the enjoyment for me. i dunno, we seem to all like witnessing them having that comradely between them. at times it looked pretty lonely up their on stage for Keith.
i actually think Keith has changed so much. he truly seems to be at ease with himself at last.

Awkward? It was fantastic to see Mick and Keith hug and share smiles during that show in London. Pure bliss!

Pure bliss ?? There is a difference between the fake lets smile for the cameras showed 2012, to the genuine affection, joy and love of performing they share recently.

They have known each other forever and it is not unnatural that spending time together, playing the music that they created together and actually getting into it -- helps to erase wounds. Someone tell me when was the last time they appeared at the same time at a purely social, not promotional event, like being in Buddy Guy's club together.

they don't pretend to get along for the camera. their schtick is the tension between them not the camaraderie... if anything they play up their differences. they don't strike me as having the sort of relationship where they hug if they don't feel like it. if it was awkward maybe it was because they have 60 years of mixed emotions between them, kind of like the awkwardness when you hug someone who you know well and love but a lot of water has passed under the bridge. also when there's millions of people watching on tv it's hard to do anything that isn't awkward.

from a sociologist's point of view I'd like to point out that "camaraderie" is not necessarily a "real" personal relationship (like love or friendship for example) but rather a relationship/feeling inside a group sharing the same or a similar fate while having to interact closely (on a basis of roles), like in the army.
(there's a simple way to proof the difference – people who once shared camaraderie during a certain period of the life while being in a group quite often feel unable to connect to each other when the meet later and/or under different circumstances, for example ex-soldiers or former classmates)
