Those Musicmans are cool guitars...Keith definitely seems to play like a demon when he's got one of those strapped on him. Did they ever use them onstage post '89-'90?Quote

Man, that AC '89 version of Bitch is out of sight! That is definitely peak Keith.
Does Jagger keep the same note through the entire song? LOL
Yes, there is Keith with that white Musicman guitar. I forgot that he and Ron played those in 89 too. For some reason that guitar brought out the best in him.
I like the point that Stones4ever raises, if Keith admits the reality of affairs to himself. That he has become less and less integral on stage.
Besides the obvious sibling rivalry with Jagger there is another brother he spars with: Ronnie. Seems like Ronnie doesn't dish it back. Yet, Ronnie grows stronger and stronger. His playing came back with a vengeance, he stopped drinking. He has a very successful life outside of the Stones; art shows and sales, radio show, new wife and twins.
It's great, but the sound mix is SO weird. When Keith starts playing his solo part towards the end, it sounds like he's all alone onstage. His guitar drowns out everything else, including the drums.Quote

Happy from At The Max. Pure heaven when he takes off in his own little world there. Thankfully takes us along for the ride.
I *LOVE* 999...that is a great performance...better than the album. Really comes alive onstage.Quote

I forgot to include the 999-clip in my post. It's included now
Yeah, poor Ronnie haha.. I had the word 'bully' in my post too, and took it out. But you're right Keef. And that's just the stories that we heard about.Quote

I think Keith has been a real bully to Ronnie at points over the years. He's probably taken more abuse than we know.
Another great one!Quote

Very interesting...I just read Mathijs' review, and was surprised to see him so superlative towards this show given how almost every post on IORR is negative towards post-'81-'82 Stones, ha.Quote

Looks like Keith had no choice but to kick it up a notch there; emergency use only, you see. Just to stop the bleeding.
Quite an interesting set of reviews on that show. For some it was perfect as always (and that is a whole 'nother topic right there), and for others it looked like they (especially Ronnie) started out pretty shaky and Keith carried him, and it wasn't until Keith's set that they really started cooking. I think parts of this show were on the DVD set Four Flicks right? I'll have to watch closely.

I know a lot of people here try their hardest to highlight clips where he plays decently, but I just don't hear it anymore. His rhythm playing is still capable, but his leads are uniformly painful. It's sad but it's never going to get any better.

Maybe it was a really bad overdub or it was one of the performances they filmed on an empty stage, but something doesn't feel right about that part of the song...aside from that, it's some kick-ass playing by Keith, with that cool half-solo/half-riffing vibe that only he can do.
