If memory serves, he doesn't play during his and Mick's vocals. Nor does he play while the piano plays the intro riff to each round.
However, he plays a lot

I like his playing on SFTD on recent tours the best, right or wrong notes, I don´t care. Every note, right or wrong, comes from the heart and soul of the man, powerful and menacing, no one else could ever do it that way. Sympathy 2012-16 rules thanks to Keith.
You really like what he does on SFTD since 2012? To me, what he does lately is adequate at best, sometimes passable. When he's on it's not bad, judged on it's own merits. But when you compare it to how he played at, say - Tokyo Dome 1990, it's pretty sad.
"Gonna find my way to heaven ..."
Menacing, yes: menacingly bad. Like your opinions about the Stones.
Right.
He may play less than in 1990 but what he plays today is more meaningful. You might say today he is telling more using less words.
Yes I thought it might have been Jimmy Page. Although it does sound like the sort of thing that Keith might have played. It is a great solo.
Here's another potential thread idea - great Keith licks. I don't mean Keith riffs or intros, but classic licks he plays in the middle of songs, often off the cuff (usually in live versions). Examples include:
- all the great licks he plays during HTW on Love You Live
- the great licks he plays on Just My Imagination (the 81 versions)
- pretty much any lick or variation he plays in live versions on JJF
The list goes on
LOL, by that you are saying that dozens of the greatest Stones songs (like SFTD, GS, HTW, WH, UMT, Bitch, TD, Happy, Some Girls, Respectable, Slave, Hang Fire, She Was Hot and all the Berry covers) don't have great solos. Ha ha, that is too funny, coming from a Stones fan!

whoever was doing those fills in "Summer Romance".
Ronnie does the fills and the solo.
where did i say they don't have great solos? i said his rhythm playing is better and that's what i prefer, i don't have a favorite lead because i don't care about lead guitar.
you have to get over freaking out about any perceived slight on keith richards.
You said "none", didn't you? That's the equivalent to those songs lacking great solos..
Nice to see that you didn't really mean that, though.
Only if they are your favourites.
Talk about your favorite band.

Sympathy for the Devil from official Tokyo Dome 1990 concert. Especially the beginning of the solo (is was shortened on Flashpoint). Generally he was very sloppy when playing the SFTD solo in '89/90 but this one is really good. Even though I think he dilled in a tad too much distortion, he still get some killer tone on some of those bends.

SFTD, GGYYO!.
IORR.Short & Curlies. The lead guitar, very melodic. For years I thought it was Taylor.
And of course all his Chuck Berry interpretations.
Interesting! Whenever anyone on this board says Taylor plays over the rest of the band unsympathetically, I smile to myself and think of Short & Curlies.
A song full of pockets, in which he plays within.
...and everywhere else.

Its been mentioned a few times in this thread already, but I have to add one more; just because it is so out of character: those bursts on "Hold on to your Hat". Indeed.

Gimme Shelter.
Midnight Rambler live in 1972 and 1973 (with Taylor providing some of the best solos in the history of rock)
The volatile slide on Rambler Studio version.
Bye Bye Johnny live 1972
Around and around 1977 El Mocambo
Let it bleed as seen on Lets spend the night together.

I really like what Keith is doing nowadays on Sympathy. I know it´s different from what he used to do, but still very impressive. Even more impressive. He plays less but what he plays says so much more than what he did before 2012. It´s attacking and very rough, very savage. Glorious heavenly noise coming deep from the very heart and soul of Rock n Roll.

He may play less than in 1990 but what he plays today is more meaningful. You might say today he is telling more using less words.

On a good night that is certainly true. But when he's "off" those solos are cringe-worthy. His solo on the Hyde Park Live version of SFTD is a pretty good minimalist one.
