Nothing special of course, anybody could be playing this but Im pretty sure this aint Bill.
No, his eyes looked abnormally dull to me. He usually gets a sparkle in his eye when he's smiling, but his eyes were extremely sleepy and dead. I noticed it right away, as did others.Quote

Keith's had that glazed look in his eyes for a while now, I actually found it pretty scary from up close at the Trabendo...
Anyway, nice words yes, but talk is cheap, when you see how Bill was pretty much ignored at the O2...Mick and Keith have burnt out so many people over the years that they just seem "disconnected".

Not Keith on bass, the official credits are correct.
Listen at 1:45 to GS for several bars and it's acrobatic and beautiful. It's the anchor and the lift, a deep part of the magic creation.

Keith says lots of nice things about people. And it's usually accurate,not just vapid what a great guy so and so is. He criticizes people, too, which makes the praise stand out even more.
Even though he has taken a lot of shots at Mick, for example, he has also said many kind things about Mick as a leader, front man, called him his brother.
I'm curious if Bill has praised Keith? Has he ever said something like, 'Boy, I'll always be grateful that I got to stand up on stage and support Keith and those incredible riffs. And I'm thankful that Mick and Keith wrote all those great songs that I got to contribute to. I wouldn't be where I am today without them.'

Bill has a style and groove that really made the stones sound. They lucked out asking the guy with the big amp to join who turned out to be awesome.

We think it's luck, but it appears there's more to it. How could the four Beatles grow up and live within miles of each other? And find each other? No, Bill was just as much fate as Mick and Keith meeting at the train station. Electric bass players, especially fretless bass players, didn't exactly grow on trees in England at that time. Unbelievable how it all came about.
