Come Together, awful Keith solo.
As much as I like your AC/DC connection - maybe you
are a bit frustrated that we still have an original
guitar player, the original drummer and singer.
There is no Keith solo in CT...

Wow that SFTD solo is not so... good. Keith should really sit down and revisit the pentatonic shapes in E...

After going to a few videos I noticed that something was wrong with Mick's voice in some songs (for example IORR, JJF, bits of SFTD...). Hope he is doing okay..

Um ... in my humble opinion it's a lot bloody worse than just not so good, it's plain awful. Mine might not be the most finely tuned ears in town, but I'm sorry - THAT solo grates rather badly !!
Loved the news (old) blues number though

This has perplexed me in the modern era; how Keith struggles to find his licks in Sympathy. As a guitarist myself, I know how easy it can be to play leads to Sympathy using simple pentatonic scales in E. His classic solo on the Ya Ya's version is a perfect example and one of the first Keith solos I learned to play as a kid. Keith should seriously sit down and study Ya Ya's again. Still love the guy though...

It's kind of puzzling really. And it should not be cause of old age or arthritis, he simply has forgotten where the scales are on the freboard. Just 20 minutes per day of strolling through those shapes in E should solve this problem, but that's to much to ask for apparently...

Maybe it's time for Keith to just start letting Ronnie solo on SFTD. I hate to see him embarrass himself.

I thought Ronnies solos on the last tour in SA were consistently lousy, so maybe leave Keith to keep his solos, lets put it down to first night nerves.

Keith is 1 of my heroes & I still luv his classic work. I think though that the decades of living hard have taken their toll. This is saying nothing against Keith. Most of us wouldn't be among the living if we had tried to live his lifestyle. An obvious example of someone trying to emulate Keith & not making it would be Gram Parsons. It makes me sad what we missed with that guy. His music still sounds fresh today. Back to Keith. He still has flashes of brilliance but they are becoming more rare. For me, the line where it started was the coconut tree/brain surgery incident. At shows I've seen, the decline has been noticable. Until then, he was still playing well. This is all my humble opinion based on what I've witnessed personally or on film or heard on tape. God bless him for still going out & playing. I just think the bar is lower now. This setlist looks ok but I don't think I could justify paying hundreds of dollars to see it. On the other hand, I think Dylan's set list looks pretty interesting. & the reports seem to think he was in fine form. He does have an outstanding band. You never know what you're going to get with Bob, good & bad. I've seen both. 1.5 years ago I saw a show that was outstanding. My doc went this year & was very disappointed. I'm looking forward to hearing tapes of all the bands playing this weekend. I think some stellar things are coming.

The desert is hot hot hot today probably around 93 F which is 34 C. It will get a bit more chilly this evening luckily. They say this is the biggest rock music event in history.

Thanks for all the YouTube links. Much appreciated.
My honest impression: I watched most of them now and I must say that the Stones sound really really bad on most songs. It reminded me a lot of some of the ABB shows I have seen which were mostly terrible. Keith really has lost all his chops by now. You can't call that guitar playing anymore. It's a joke really. Same with Ronnie. That "solo" in Start Me Up is laughable. In fact, I find it embarrassing what Ronnie and Keith delivered here. Charlie plays stiffer than ever. I can't hear any swing or groove in his drumming. Mick sounds as if he holds back for some reason. The entire band just doesn't flow. I wished I could praise and celebrate them, but to my ears they sound really, really horrible.
Sad.
