stoner4ever - this isn't about being a "keith hater" though there are some posts/comments coming from some who might fall in that category.
But for the most part, this thread contains some valid criticism (both positive and negative), and as someone who values Keith beyond words, I find it all fascinating and a worthy discussion.
Don't let your zealousness and devotion to Keith cloud your mind when there's plenty of worthy observations being made including the good, the bad, and the ugly - it's reality not fantasy.

The whole concert was filmed that way -- even when guitarists would take solos.
It was maddening, and the reason I only watched the DVD once.

Reality? About the only thing most here can agree upon is that Keith has gotten older, slowed down, and his guitar skills have declined. It's one thing to make an observation/point, but some take that into flights of fantasy and conclude that Keith is senile, or drinking heavily again, or had a stroke. A little restraint would be nice.

Keith makes mistakes and that is OK. In spielberg he also had some technical issues with guitar on beginning of htw and bs.
But e.g. here we all can hear why he is still the king. He plays his solo with passion and soul.

Part of me feels bad for Keith losing his shit like that...some people think it's funny or it shows he has some fire, but to me, it just looks like he's pissed off at everyone and is frustrated with his playing, and I don't want to see him like that.Quote

Nice Post Latebloomer, and thanks for your reaction to my post Hairball ( my main man ) sums up the whole episode on a rational level.
Basically yeah Keith is just that bit older each time out, we want something that keith can't bring to the table anymore, we are just left with moments, these fascinating fragments of the man he used to be. But within those moments he manages to sometimes give us even more than he has ever done in certain aspects.
Me i'm never what you could call a rational thinker.
Slipping Away just made this whole tour worth while for me. Plus loosing his temper on BS. God i love that man so much. I find the whole drama surrounding Keith exciting, even when he mucks up, its better than when he didn't in some ways.
For instance looking at Brown Sugar at at the Fonda gig, Mick or whoever has put him so low in the mix that it doesn't matter how well he played. I CANT HERE HIM LOUD LIKE I WANT TO. At least now, he and Ronnie are blasting the living shit out of it. Mick tried to cut the intro to BS short, and that's the real reason Keith got angry. Mick you can do a lot but you cant take out Keith signature intro's or cut him short. Notice Keith cut short Mick talking to the crowd with the next opportunity.
That anger was Keith making a final stand to the Chucks , the Matt's, the crappy sax's ( notice keith never goes over to karl when he does the BS solo ) Keith hasn't had a say in who plays in this band or how they play for a long time, its telling that Mick became all smiles with Keith after he could see his frustration was coming spilling out on the stage for all to see. You can only push a man like Keith so far.
Anyway what the hell, its great for us anoraks to think what we want about whats going on here, its my guess that the worm has turned.

I'm not down with Karl Denson at all. I tried to give him a chance, but I'm not digging it. Bobby, for as much of a party animal as he was, nailed his solos note-for-note every night. The BS solo is so iconic that it deserves that reverence.

No not at all, judging by the Austria gig keith is just getting into it.
Keith is the show inside the show, and when he starts clicking, and he will, they will be great again. Trust me .

The guy showed up giving respect for the original Bobby solo's, but what he is doing now is terrible and i can't believe Keith hasn't pulled him up on it, or called him out as you Americans say.
One thing that gets confusing during this thread, when a Brit says pissed, they mean drunk.
When an American says pissed they usually mean Pissed Off.
Please when referring to Keith being pissed use a word that takes out the confusion.
