Tell Me :
Talk
Sinatra was completely shit towards the end and still charged exorbitant money just like another act that comes to mind.
Don't get me wrong , i loved Frank but he couldn't sing in the end and i cringed watching him. I don't want to cringe at my beloved Stones.
I'll take them off your hands, then. I'll even pay you face value. Just throw in a couple of plane tickets to Europe and a letter to excuse me from work and we've got a deal!
Ok you're on lol.
I'm hoping they improve, sorry i have calmed down a bit now.
Its just that i played some youtube clips to everyone in the room earlier, BS , SMU, TD and everyone fell about laughing at the Stones saying they need to hang it up.
Oh please...don't have a meltdown!!
You already have tickets...GO TO THE SHOW AND HAVE A GOOD TIME!!
I guarantee it will be funner and and more fulfilling than bitching about Keith or Mick on a website.

Cheers Hairball , sorry about the rant guys, i gotta get away from this place for a while, its so one sided against Keith that it does my head in.
People are using this thread to troll Keith and regular posters can't see it.
Keith is not the only Stone on stage making mistakes.
Well, yeah, that was my point. But I’m watching/listening to the scope now and I get more shivers than cringes. You can tell Mick is too tonight, because he’s riding the crest.
Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 2017-09-20 22:57 by TeddyB1018.
Watch and/or listen to the live feed and read through the show thread as it's happening- Keith is doing well tonight by most accounts!

Thanks Hairball i had no idea they were playing tonight, i'm on holiday , will listen now thanks for that
I told you Keith would be back. He always comes back.
><
Haha this is why we love this band, just when we think its all over they come back better than ever
Revenge for what and on who ??
What i want to know is who is Keith having a go at at 42 seconds in.
He goes off camera but Charlie and Ronnie look a bit worried as Keith turns towards the right of our screen after he told Mick to @#$%& off. Its in Matt's direction.
easy there, pardner. draw your brakes, brotha.
whiplash boomerangs like this are not good for the psyche, or the neck. give the band time: they'll be even better, and much worse, next time around
THANKS for the links!
Agreed - these are much better....nice improvement!
Oh but hang on - you can't critique a show based on Youtube clips right, you have to be there?
Keep your heads up with the knowledge that some of us call them like we see them - even if based on youtube clips.
When a turd's a turd, no point in trying to polish it as it will never become a diamond - even though some try their hardest.
But when there's a nice gold nugget as in todays show, gotta give credit where credits due...they did a fine job!
Still not quite on diamond level as was the days of yore, but a gold nugget is pretty good considering the circumstances.
Almost a reason for celebration, but will have to first see if the quality carries over to the next few shows, or if this was some kind of a freak occurrence.
Thanks for the links jumpingjackflash5 -

Goes without saying, but the truth is that there has been some decline in their ability to perform as a live band, and the degree to which this has occurred lies somewhere between the two extremes in points of view on this thread. It is also probably true that Keith and everyone else will knock off some rust as the tour progresses. And of course all of us care, or else we wouldn't be here; having to contemplate this stuff brings out varied responses. It's hard sometimes to remember that we are all on the same team.
If the day is not far off that they decide to hang it up as a touring band, I think the silver lining might be a renewed focus on studio output. I really hope they decide to release this new album sooner rather than never.

Now THAT'S more like it.
Those of us critiquing Keith's playing think we're somehow taking pleasure in it or "trolling"...couldn't be further from the truth, but if one of them is playing poorly, I'm not going to sugar-coat my critique.
Those above clips were rocking. Great to see them playing like that.

Nothing wrong with commenting when something isn't good, but it's great to see things improved...the whole band as well, not just Keith. Those first couple shows, at times, looked like an under-rehearsed band not yet firing on all cylinders. I'm not suggesting that was the root cause. I think arthritis was the worst problem for Keith since he definitely seemed to have problems with his hands. Glad to see everyone snapped back into place. For everyone with tickets or everyone watching on Youtube, I hope the rest of the tour is as good as Zurich.
