I was really pleased to see and hear that Keith had really pulled out the stops in Dusseldorf, I may be critical of him when he is bad, but I'll always be chuffed to bits when he's on point.
It does seem to be a warming up thing with him. Takes him to get a few shows under his belt before he hits his stride....he's gonna peak for the last show!
I watched the SFM clip and it gave me a warm feeling to see him playing with passion and attack, then i watched it from the 72 tour and as always it blew my mind and shows just how far away from the Stones at their peak they are....but I'm still glad they are putting it out there to the best of their abilities....what a drag it is getting old.

Disagreed, actually I think this years SFM is better than in 1972, and this is since Charlie kind of rushed the beat too much in '72 and Mick didn't phrase the lyrics he just kind of yelled the lyrics. Nowdays the groove they get together during the instrumental parts of SFM is just marvelous.

In all fairness we should wait for the 2062 tour to get a full impression of a 90 years development...

In all fairness I think Street Fighting Man was best live during the Licks-tour, better than in both 1972 or 2017, however this years versions are not far off from 2002-03 and sometimes even better.

Keith was good on GS last night - He played the opening seductive splash of notes and chords and okay solo. He was on .
I really have to eat some crow after watching these new clips. The cohesion of their playing as a band has come so far since the beginning of the tour. Glad to be proven wrong about Keith having completely lost it.Quote

'72 was a very different beast.
Not as many players.
Keith had a much fatter sound.
Mick Taylor's lead playing on SFM was scorching!

The 1972 version(s) were over earthly. They will never ever even come close to that again.

They found another way to improve it on Stripped, though. The best live version ever, imo. Keith with the real opening riff, and the overall sound is so powerful.

Very good yes, but guitars are more powerful in 1969 (GYYYO) or 1972 especially at the end of the song.Too muck Chuck at the end too...Quote

Mick Taylor rhythm playing is VERY important too...

Well, yes, but "one string-licks" fundamental for the intensity of the song...
The 1969 and 1972 versions are high-speed trains, so powerful.

In all fairness, SFM from Hyde Park in 2013 is the greatest!!
Wow, I was just blown away and run over by the Rolling Stones steam locomotive rolling down the tracks to the wonder and joy of Gimmie Shelter. Keith playing the intro like it's 1969 with the war raging in Vietnam ,with Jagger's most powerful written lyrics sung with such passion and he really is singing with such a voice dripping with so much emotion .Bravo Glimmer Twins !!!!!!!!!! I never for once thought they could not get it together and pull it off in such a grand style truly befitting the label of the Worlds Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World .Bravo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and to all the naysayers ,what do you say now ?Quote

I say you are still deluded....
Whilst Keith showed us he can still have a presence on stage (dusseldorf show), his guitar work is still full of bum notes and errors - which is ok, but to hear people constantly say he is on fire is wrong..lets just say he was better than the first 2 shows of the tour and is probably playing as good as we will ever see him. His solos (dusseldorf show), whilst to the layman sound "great", to me there is no fluency or pattern to them - he is playing within his limits....and luckily in key (which can disguise his bum notes which are there!). It shows to me he does not practise at all as we dont hear anything different from him.
I am being critical however..
