Wow nice, thanks shillid for the pics and video.
I might be in the minority here (or maybe not) but I'd be more satisfied in seeing a benefit show like this vs. another same old Stones show in a giant stadium or arena.
Intimate setting, amazing musicians, lots of surprises, and all of the proceeds go to a good cause - "All proceeds from LOVE ROCKS NYC! benefit God's Love We Deliver" .
Yeah but AEG Live will not promote that type of show so it's a non starter, except for a few one offs, that will never change.

At one point, Murray — who was sent on stage a few times to fund raise– started taking cash from people near the stage. It was surprising how much he got– certainly a couple thousand dollars in what he said were 20s, 50s, and 100 dollar bills. It was hilarious but we’ll see how the charity deals with it.

A pleasent surprise Keith picked up the old gem "Make No Mistake" - always been one of my favourite Richards ballads, but what a great reminder of how great and well-written piece it is. A really nice version - it follows the script nicely - how all those parts follow each other, building up the tension.
Keith himself is actually awesome - starting from the moment he hits the first chord - damn that guy can make some basically small things sound so special and significiant! And his vocal delivery is one of the best/touching ones I have heard from live ever. Follows the melody closely but with all that experience he sounds so relaxed and masterful. As a ballad singer he just seem to get better and better as the years go by. My only 'complaint' - this is not IORR if we wouldn't have it? - goes actually to Miss Jones. Unlike Keith she doesn't quite sound to me able to - or not dares to - to deliver the feelings the song consists of. She sounds a bit an outsider (it could be that I have too much the original in my mind, and comparing her too closely to it). Another 'complaint' goes for her and the whole band in messing a bit with the 'Make No Mistake' chorus part Keith decides not to take vocally part in. To me that part should have emphasized more, to serve the dynamics of the song better there.
A war horse "Happy" was a good/okayish one too - something Keith surely can do half-sleep, but nice to hear - for a change - him doing it with different musicians than with the usual suspects.
But shit, doesn't that man has a charisma! He might get slower, looks like your grandgrandmama and all that due to age, but as far as his presence goes, there is something going beyond the words there. A living legend indeed if there ever is one - almost like a Sartrean or Nietzschean prime example of self-creativity, making one's life an art piece of its own - having created the morals, the art, the sound, the way of life, the story, the image, the style of himself by himself, and who is totally in terms with himself. He is one of the people who surely can - when Mr. D finally dares to approach him (there is that theoretical possibility) - to say 'shit, I did it quite okay, I did accomplish something...'.
Happy were those people wittnessing him there. And I am sure they did know it.

Great performance by Keith and as you point out, fantastic vocals. I think Norah Jones did OK, Sarah Dash's vocal on the original is hard to match. There is only one Sarah Dash. One thing I would like to add is that the combination of Charles Hodges (organ and piano), Archie Turner (keyboards) and Leroy Hodges (bass) playing with Keith is so much better than Chuck Leavell, Matt Clifford and Darryl Jones. It's such a relief to hear Keith's songs played by those people.

I might be in the minority here (or maybe not) but I'd be more satisfied in seeing a benefit show like this vs. another same old Stones show in a giant stadium or arena.
Intimate setting, amazing musicians, lots of surprises, and all of the proceeds go to a good cause - "All proceeds from LOVE ROCKS NYC! benefit God's Love We Deliver" .

I've gone from 17.3 stone down to 12.9 since October 2017: I've still got a belly.
