Hi DP!
If you look at Silver Dagger's SFTD-video in the set opener-thread, you'll see how it was from our spot.
I'm sorry, but where do you mean? In this thread? Which page?
Thank you, d.f

What was that "Straight Outta Compton" spoof shirt that Keith was wearing?
Straight Outta Dartford, I assume?

Hope you don't mind if I ask, but why do people think Keith is sober? There are Backstage photos of Keith from Havana where he drank a wodka sunkist and smoked a joint. Also in recent interviews there's often a glass of wodka sunkist next to him.
Well i will try to answer that question best to my knowledge, as drink is my favorite subject lol.
Keith went through a period of sobriety after his wife had a big operation removing a lot of cancer. I think he was off booze much more than he was on it between 2008 to 2014 or thereabouts. I get the feeling he is on and off the drink still to this day. Its very easy to see when Keith is drinking as he has got older from his face and his speaking voice.
Its my guess that he just did the last show sober, maybe he had a little weed before the show, that seems to slow him down a bit but it probably calmed his nerves.
Ronnie i am more suspicious of, not drink but something else.
Just to add that Cocaine is out of the question now for Keith since his head injury in 06'
I'm curious to hear reports on Keith's progress thru this tour. Not being in attendance it's tough to get a true barometer but bum notes are bum notes. Being a "professional" maybe Keith should be a little more prepared for the first night. But hey my Patriots stunk in their first game and hopefully they rebound and hopefully more promising reports on Keith's next show. Despite this there were many glowing reports and like I said you HAVE to be there to truly appreciate!!

What makes you suspicious of Ronnie? He appears as if he's finally gotten to a good place in his life.Quote

Yeah i don't get the feeling this is going to be a repeat of the 07' tour when Keith was pissed as a fart every night. That was disrespectful to the audience and the band, but we didn't know the personal agony Keith was going through at the time.
I had the misfortune to see the Stones 3 times in 07' and Keith was almost motionless, although on occasion he still played brilliantly. At least once, Mick prevented him from falling into the crowd. Keith was living on the ledge over the edge at this point in time.
I think Keith does rehearse a lot more now, he has too. I think he put in a good performance in Hamburg, i would like to see him attack that sympathy solo with gusto next time out, he needs to rehearse it and nail it. That will boost his confidence and the bands confidence in him. Keith is a stubborn old sod though and very unapproachable and formidable i suspect. He may even be in denial about his playing. Someone needs to tell him he is the weak link at the moment, because these shows could be awesome if he steps it up a notch. Mick is finally concentrating on his singing and Ronnie is on fire. Its all about confidence with Keith, he needs a good start, get those fingers warmed up properly before he hits the stage. Don't get me wrong, i love the man, but he needs to up his game, Keith always comes back strong, i see no reason why he can't improve over the next few shows as long as he keeps the drink in moderation.

Indeed. And the last he will do is to rehearse a solo he plays every night.
The exception, of course, is HTW. However, he tried to change it totally in Hamburg (wailing away in the lower G-major scale in the beginning of the solo), but eventally got a bit lost, before he picked it up correctly again
I don't think Keith would have any problems re-remembering the Ya Ya's SFTD-solo, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to. midways through the Hamburg-version he actually picked up the Ya Ya's riffs again, if you listen closely.

They usually play at his tempo. Some of the tempos in the '69 tour were laid back type of grooves.
...
Does he think he's as good as he was a few years ago? Does he think he's the 'weak link.' Those are ridiculous questions.
I just listened to his mini set and thought it was quite enjoyable. And that's through laptop speakers on youtube.

I for one would love to hear Keith describe his current playing status and respond truthfully to "bum" notes. Be it the cold, arthritis, "piss off" whatever.....last time I saw him was Buffalo '15 and still the best I've seen since my journey in '81.

I've noticed that twitchiness too, but I put it down to him just being off everything and have a lot of nervous energy to burn off.Quote

What makes you suspicious of Ronnie? He appears as if he's finally gotten to a good place in his life.
Well i'm not convinced he does take something, its just he seem's so energetic and twitchy, he looks so gaunt and he sweets more. He show's no sign of nerves like he used to when he wasn't drinking. Its not drink, definitely not.
I could be wrong. I just study these guys , always have, you begin to notice things. Obviously he is in a good place and he knows what he is doing, he's had enough practice.
Hey maybe its just that as he has got older he has gotten more confident in himself. He's like a man possessed, good luck to him whatever he takes, i know he is into vitamins and stuff, could be that.
