Mick and Keith do enjoy each other's company. When they were in the studio together in NYC in February they got along fine. They were getting along fine in rehearsals. Just because they don't touch each other onstage the first night when they're both trying to concentrate on songs not played in a long time doesn't mean they hate each other. They got along great while making Blue and Lonesome.

I am so happy my Stones are still out here playing live.... it is AWESOME!!! Makes me HAPPY
There is a single-minded possessiveness ("my Stones") at play here that I cannot help but admire. Because at the end of the day, there are no absolute critiques when it comes to music. Consensuses may develop. Objective criteria may be employed. And one may try to "prove" one's point about whether a performance or a song is any good or not. And "proving" it may make you feel better about yourself or your opinions ... but it's a fleeting feeling and may end up making you feel ultimately shitty about having rained on someone else's parade.
For both things are true: the Stones are shadows of themselves, embarrassing relics who should have exited stage left decades ago ... and the greatest rock and roll band in the world, capable of delivering performances in 2017 that surpass anything they achieved 40 or 50 years ago. I may agree with the former point of view and think that the latter is ridiculous ... but what does it matter if people enjoy something I feel is shite?
In their current incarnation and at their current level of skill, I wouldn't pay $100 to see The Rolling Stones if they played in a garage around the corner from me ... but I have learned to smile at the happiness of people who pay thousands of dollars to travel halfway around the world to see a band they still adore--there are worse things to be obsessed with in today's world.

A hunch (without evidence as I wasn't there )
: I think Mick worries about Keith at the start of these latter tours, when keith is really nervous and rusty - you can almost see him thinking is this going to be the one when he really can't do it any more and how am I ( mick) going to cover ?
I suspect it's anxiety which makes them uneasy with each other.
The last few tours it has settled down as Keith has loosened up.
Keith has pulled It out of the bag against the odds before so I'm rooting for him.

It is people like you and your troll buddy that I would rather go to GA concerts events these days, I know your type of trouble makers. You are easy to spot... and at a GA show you are easy to move away from and let you play your little games with someone else. It is a real drap to be seated next to hencluckers at a concert.
I typically ignore your lame comments, I typically ignore the other trolling lame comments, I know you trouble makers are just stirring the pot... hoping for a reaction and then you will raise your flags and call for witch burnings and people to be banned... it is what you do.
Putting up with your type is the price of coming to a board like this, having to skim over your nitpicking chickenhouse henclucking gossipy nonsense trying to ruin the fun for others is part of the deal of reading a board like this. But you are easy to move away from, easy to ignore.
I wish there was a feature here (like on other boards) that allowed us to ignore certain members and never see their alwaysnegativecrap.
Instead we have to skim past your drivel and ignore it, and that is easy to do, there are only about 110-15 of you. But when you trolls want to start thread after thread calling the main purpose of the board losers and saying they suck, you are crossing the line and you will get what you deserve... and then predictably you will start crying and supporting your fellow trolls and calling for bannings etc etc. But... that is the way things are.
Stay away from me, and I will skim past your drivel comments as I always do, giving you no reason for you to read or reply to my comments.

Thanks for taking the time to let us know that what you feel doesn't matter.

Um...If HankM does not get banned for the comments on this thread, banning anyone should be banned. Simply vile.
Absolutely agree, we don't even know if a person is depressed or feels really low and could do something bad to themselves. Don't want to push a man over the edge.

ErwinH, Dirk (Steinschlag's friend), Manofwealthandtaste, ErwinH's brother, some norwegian guy with a hat, Steinschlag, Silver Dagger, Grzegorz67 and RobberBride.
RoughJusticeOnYa and his wife also came by (nice to meet you!) and Wild Slivowitz was occupied with his Airbandb-hostess in some wayHe joined us later.

That's wishful thinking from Dandelion's part!
She didn't show up at the agreed time, so I have been occupied with trying to get in touch with her and in the meantime trying to sort out some plan B for the worst case scenario.
She later showed up, but then I wasn't sure as to I could manage to reach you guys in time before you left for the gig, as I assumed that you guys would walk away from the bar way before you actually did.
I agree about the comments being too negative. Indeed from the youtube clips the sound is thin and kind of empty, but in the venue the sound (especially guitars!) was big big big.
Great show, if you ask me!

LOL, I didn't imply anything, hehe. You were occupied, weren't you
The sound was huge indeed![/[/b]quote]
Especially when someone at close quarters sang on part of Silver Dagger's Youtube Video
