That was what came to my mind as well. When I first got into the Stones, I couldn't figure out why Keith didn't play like this more often.Quote

His solo on Sympathy for the Devil from 'At the Max' (Wembley 1990) is one of the best and longest I've heard.

Oh I know that now...just at the time I wondered. I was naive about music...I figured if someone could play lead guitar like that, they'd want to do it constantly.Quote

He don't really enjoy it, according to himself.

The footage for his solo was shot from a bizarre angle, almost like it was shot from backstage, and the audience is visible if I'm not mistaken.Quote

Quite a bit of that "At the Max" was recorded in front of an empty stadium. Hope Keef's solo wasn't a visual and audio overdub.

Share your favourite clips of Keith riffing up, slashisng the rhythm and pulling the weave tight, from 1989 onwards.
I'm looking forward to it!
Video is blocked for me. Is that the show that was broadcast on HBO?Quote

I was there. I remember how Keith cut Mick off mid-sentence while he was working the crowd...what a moment.

However, so much of Live at the Max is overdubbed and sterile that I don't enjoy watching it at all.

Had a smile on my face before I even clicked the link... Your hint gave it away (to me at least)! There are a couple of other versions of KR/Winos doing this song that I rank in my favorite Keith musical moments (including Stones). Something about the song itself must touch Keith. Personally, I'd LOVE it if he could convince himself and the rest of the Stones that this one would work on a Stones stage in place of either Happy or Before They Make Me Run. Detractors aside, no bathroom break THAT night for the tourists!
Peace,
Mr DJA

They had problems with the sound recording this and keith hits a few bum notes but nothing can take away the fact that this was keith at the peak of his powers.
BTW keith played SFTD consistently this way on this leg of the tour. There is a better version on another night but i cant find it right now
Go to 51 minutes on for his solo on SFTD

Maybe you mean this one, I consider it as one of Keith's best solos he ever did

In the post 89 era. I have to say that BY FAR!! his best guitar work is with the Winos; both tours.
He became confident, assured, more relaxed as A bandleader and singer. The way "Time is on My Side" was arranged was beautiful. On guitar it just got better and better. His partnership with Waddy brought many excellent results. Closer to his Taylor partnership. But Waddy can also twang with the best of'em.
The arrangements lent themselves to very good guitar passages. I can't remember if it was the first or second Wino tour but I saw Keith do a "solo" on 'Struggle', which was every bit as good as his "bye Bye Johnny" or "Carol" from '72 and '69. I put "solo" in quotations because it isn't a solo in conventional sense but a rhythmic chopping of double stops and bends and slides. His performance was jaw dropping.
It's crazy to think that his best playing post '89 (or really any time after he kicked H) was fueled by cocaine, but it's pretty much true. I doubt he ever hit the stage without doing a few lines right beforehand.Quote

Absolutely agree with you, the decline happened shortly after the last Wino's tour in 93', he wasn't the same player in 94' 95' i'm convinced it was a combination of the drink catching up with him combined with those Heberden's nodes on his fingers. The second decline happened in 06' after the brain bleed and subsequent cranial surgery, after which he could no longer take cocaine to sharpen his playing while drinking. Basically it all caught up with him but he soldiers on like a real trouper. I still think he pulls it off for the best part of most shows these days, he appears sober most nights, he was in fine form at the second Desert gig and the last show they played in Vegas. He still has something to offer, he needs more shows though, 15 date tours just aren't long enough for him to get his chops together fluently. Come on Keith get the Wino's out for one last Hurrah , the old lion roars again
