While the Stereophonics are (or were) a pretty good band, I have to say that cover sounds a bit hokey - almost like a new country rockin' style version...yeehaw.
Here's a decent cover of the Beatles' I'm Only Sleeping played by Kelly Jones and Noel Gallagher (and other members of Oasis and Stereophonics?) from about 10 years ago (?)at a John Lennon Memorial concert.
Noel Gallagher & Kelly Jones - I'm Only Sleeping
Ronnie Wood makes a very brief cameo at a table filled with booze and mouthing the words to the tune, with Jo Wood looking on smiling...

Regarding Keith's sound nowadays, it's just hard on the ears. It's an aural assault everytime he starts playing a solo with that Les Paul Junior. I looked back and noticed he used the Les Paul Junior on SFTD in 1995 aswell, but back then his sound was much more enjoyable, I wish he went back to this smoother sound: video: [youtu.be]

No sorry WITNESS ?? REALLY ?? you miss the point once again.
Mick's relationship with Keith now is a business relationship, a relationship Mick would not have with Keith under any other circumstances.
They earn huge sums of money together, this is why Mick has a relationship with Keith. Its irrelevant that Keith earns the same money. That's not the point i am making. Keith seems to see or hopes for more from his relationship with Mick than just a business. This is part of Keith's romantic notion of life in general explained in my post.
I'm sorry but i went to a lot of trouble in my post to explain things about Keith the way i see it and you are trying to turn it into a Mick against Keith post.
Not happy about that. I'M OFF FOR GOOD THIS TIME. That is an insult to a thoughtful post.

One bird does not make a summer... Being "at his peak as a performer" is a strong claim, possibly from a younger fan who's not listening to recordings from his real peak all too much. The band as a whole still has strong moments, but speaking of a peak is a superlative that's just not justified considering the whole picture.

Just found this better recording of it.
OMG this just blew my mind, how can Keith and Ronnie just raise their game like that.
This just made me so high. This ain't faking it, this is the real deal.

His sound is great on this tour. I love it.
I still say he seems detached, not always, but a bit too late, as if he occasionally has to remind himself of what to play. Insecure maybe. Like he's revisiting songs he doesnt feel connected to anymore. Maybe he moved on.
Very profound words, and very true i think.
It's my view that keith in his heart, has moved on from this music, and it shows.
It leaves him visibly and emotionally stuck between a rock and a hard place, up there on stage with the greatest rock and roll band in the world.
He can't put it down can he, but you feel its time.

There's are several examples of this, but not on SFTD, IORR or TD.

Thank you, I seldom contribute anything thought-provoking on iorr. Interesting thread and very good posts from you and others here.

That sent me to sleep.
Ronnie in the drinking days, he looks so happy.
