For you who have seen Under My Thumb been played at Spielberg and Hamburg, does Ronnie play the riff or is it Chuck on the keyboard?
I think is Ronnie guitar...

I hope Dean Goodman was at the show - looking forward to his honest review of the show!
Sorry to disappoint. Happy - to me - didn't stand out as being more chaotic than any of Keith's other senior moments. Obviously Brown Sugar was quite the drama. To my ears, Start Me Up almost fell apart mid-song. But I swear my review is fairly favorable to Keith and everyone else - well, not to the idiot organizers. Congrats to the fans who survived.
No disappointment here - I enjoy reading your honest and well written reviews, whether it's praising, criticizing, or paying attention to minor details that might have gone unnoticed - usually all in the same review. Your stories vividly paint a picture that captures the experience as a good story should. Having attended several of the same shows as you in the past (San Diego opener, '15 comes to mind), I look forward to your reviews, and while I don't always agree with every detail, they're always honest and well balanced from your personal perspective - the good, the bad, the ugly, warts and all. In fact these current round of reviews are almost as exciting to read as following the shows themselves live on facebook feed (well not quite ). Looking forward to the next one.
I should add that bv's reviews are also interesting coming from the perspective of someone who has dedicated most of his adult life to the Rolling Stones, and his current review of last nights show is exceptional imo. In fact, as an avid reader and a diehard fan of the Stones, I enjoy reading all of the reviews from those who were at the shows. From the high praising and glowing (and sometimes a bit unrealistic) "best performance ever" reviews, to the less than stellar smack you in the face "never again" reviews, and those that are a bit mixed "Mick was great but Keith sucked", etc., etc., etc., they all have value for those of us who aren't at the shows. And whether it's just a few sentences in the show thread, or a lengthy review sent to bv to be published in the main show index, much appreciation and thanks to all who take the time. I find more value in reading reviews from the fans themselves on IORR vs. some of the ones published in the local newspapers which sometimes come across as paid advertisements.
And then there's all of the great pics in the main archives for each show...thanks to all of the photographers for the stunning visuals to accompany all of the reviews! With just a click on the laptop or smartphone, there's hundreds of shows that can be revisited and relived that have been compiled on this site. It's for all of these reasons that make this site so great (along with all of the discussion threads of course), and special thanks to bv for keeping it rolling for all these years.
Looking forward to virtually experiencing Zurich from my home base in California, followed by the rest of the tour. All of the minute by minute updates is nothing short of a miracle and a far cry from trying to gather info back in 1981 when I attended my first Stones show. How did we even exist back then?!

Judging from a Hamburg video I saw, it sounded like Ronnie and Chuck were playing the riff in tandem. Keith was sort of replicating the chord work heard on the studio version.

Couldn´t figure out at first why Keith started yelling really loud in Micks direction when Keith himself got a completely wrong start with Brown Sugar - if it really was a technical problem, thanks for clarification.
Here : [youtu.be] ?
Wonder what happened indeed, the intro wasn't that bad ?
most people won't notice what happened. Showed this to some none fans and they didn't understood what was wrong..
So it shows that only a few people will notice these things,

This is Honky Tonk in 4K from where I was standing. I have only capture that one. Wanted to enjoy the show without phone. Note that there was no sound from Keith's giutar for the moment.

Hmmm ok.., I didn't read anywhere you saying something was wrong with Micawber all night.
Glad to know all the other guitars were functioning well.

Yeah, I wrote a short review of a show. Nevermind, as I said I think something was wrong with a signal from that guitar. Keith was furious during Brown Sugar. I cant find a video that shows how he walk to the technical guy during the song and does not play at all. And then he shout something to him and continue with a song.

Right. That clip was from last year's Ole Tour. But Ronnie is still smoking. Did you see him in Start Me Up? His solo starts around 1:55...[www.youtube.com]

Commenting on Keith feels like patricide. He is old and maybe not too well (not speculating in substance abuse, he aged quite a bit after that head injury). Weird because I think he looks better now than before.
Live he seems a bit detached.
Bill said their unique wobble, their sound, was always about to fall apart - loose and always about to come apart at the seems. Maybe that's what happening now.[/[/b]quote]
Yes, that's what I say: They're still getting better!

Ok, I see what happend. Keith - like he sometimes does on SMU - added a little pause to the riff and that threw the band off.

Looks like Keith's pants IS both dark and light by design, and that the stage lights enhanced it.
