Where might you have heard that?
One of the guys who apparently showed up outside the rehearsals yesterday and were talking to someone from Stones camp. Could be BS though.
Could be. Could be true, too.
Guess we'll have to wait for Karl Denson's daily rehearsal photo. ;-)

why won't they live stream one of their rehearsals?
Come on Mick and Keith...just do it.

It's a sacrifice they make and we are all pleased they make this incredible effort so we still get to see them perform, but it can't be easy for them.

Remember: They don't have to do that! I think everybody has enough money to allow him a luxurious lifestyle. Therefore, they must know what they do, and I neither envy nor pity them.
This is true, but it is only one aspect. Another aspect is that they love playing in front of an audience. And they earn a lot of Money for doing what they love doing.Quote

Well they might jet back to London while in Europe but i was talking about world tours in general.
Also the city outings mentioned by Mick and Charlie are just a few isolated trips.
I can't remember the last time i saw Keith out and about visiting.
Think Keith finds it harder than the others to get out.
Its not only the tour, just look at the isolation of rehearsals, no one has even seen them, they are almost always hiding from public view with minders and bodyguards around them. This is not a walk in the park that we can enjoy as people. They can't just go out for a walk in the park or go to the shops and be anonymous or take a meal on their own. Having to constantly empty a place or scrutinize a place of interest like a restaurant so they they can go out and eat must be tiresome, especially in Europe. They can't relax properly with security and bodyguards all around them. They are on constant show.
I still say living out of a suit case is a bit sad when you are 76 like Charlie.
He can't take his Country life with the horses on tour with him.
Keith lives in Connecticut with all his family where he can go to town and restaurants without being bothered. He can't take all his family with him on tour, of course it is a sacrifice for him and a bit sad. I have seen Keith fall off the wagon countless times on these tours, it must get boring for him after a while stuck around in hotels with alcohol as a constant temptation.
The amount of times i have seen Keith looking healthy at the start of these mini tours and finishing up looking terrible.
It's shallow not to see the sad side of touring at their ages.
Perhaps Ronnie and Mick love it but the same can't be said for Keith and Charlie.
This is just one aspect of touring and its just my view, i could be entirely wrong as has been said above, but these guys are only human and like any of us it can get a bit depressing being away from home especially when you live under this degree of fame, they just can't go out and about like we can, Keith has expressed this countless times. He says he finds it too much hassle to go out.

Well, blaming it on the scarf is er ....... a little far fetched and would be cutting him a lot of slack ! More a case of him forgetting which notes to suspend when in open-g, which was quite an accomplishment for someone that's been using that tuning for a cool 40 years or so !! Silly boy !!

Other than the fluffed intro to Start Me Up my memory of Hyde Park (week 2) was that Keith (and the whole group for that matter) were playing great. The version of Happy was a little loose however.

Are these the most secretive rehearsals ever (at least in the modern age)? Only a couple of photos released by the band members themselves, but no arriving/leaving fan photos, no excited reports (or recordings) of songs half heard...
A shame really, I used to love reading the breathless reports from the LA parking lots etc

I thought Happy and Bitch were pretty good, well as far as recent outings go

Bitch fell apart, and Clark started singing in wrong places. It was a mess.
I enjoyed it just the same, but it's probably the poorest version of Bitch I've ever heard.
The version with «Mr. No dynamics», Dave Grohl, is a good second...
