His playing was good. I was surprised that he had a stab at Make No Mistake again, as there are a few intricate chords in there - but he did fine.

Well, the start of MNM gave you an indication, as Jordan was playing with brushes and Keith played the only guitar

I never expected "Make No Mistake" again so that was a treat. Keith played great when he played. Like most shows in the last dozen years since his brain surgery, he doesn't often do both at once any more. "Happy" impressed me for how closely the opening sounded like the original studio track. It wasn't the standard live version. He had the right tone. I haven't felt that chill since Pearl Jam backed Mick on "Nineteenth Nervous Breakdown" and "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll" six years ago. There was a real effort to nail it with careful selection of instrument, tone, and amp. There have been plenty of electrifying performances over the last six years since 50 AND COUNTING started, but those ones stand out for trying hard to recapture the sound of the original record.

Happy was exquisite thanks in large part to the all star backing musicians, and Keith's vocals and playing are spot on.
They were locked in the groove, and there was a subtlety that seems to be lacking when he plays it with the Stones the last decade or so where it becomes sort of a circus-like celebration. Not knocking Ronnie, but at times (not always) that slide he plays during Happy is a bit outlandish - even when he hit's most of the right notes. As for Keith, he might feel a bit more pressure when he performs it in front of tens of thousands with the Stones these days - in the spotlight/under the microscope and carrying the load, whereas here he was a bit more loose yet in a functional way, and backed by some all around great musicians. One of the best - if not the best - latter day versions of Happy I can recall. All he needed was Mick on backup vocals and it would have been perfect...

I am knocking Ronnie, i would go so far as to say i can't stand to listen to Ronnie's pedal steel on Happy, its horrible to my ears.

As of this minute, no absolute plans. Long story regarding possibly tying a show in with visiting family, friends, in-laws, etc. - my wife is hankering to see her dad again and revisit friends, etc. in Chester (where she grew up), and I have some friends in Guildford where I lived and went to University, but everything is still in flux with lots of details involving travel, schedules, etc., etc., etc. still up in the air. And to be honest, the Stones are secondary to all of that right now, but if the stars align anything is possible. Have a great time at Twickenham and Cardiff!

I was invoking GasLight to make sure he's on his toes. That said, since you brought it up, I still think "Harlem Shuffle" / "Had it with You" was a great 45.

If the Stones had put out Dirty Work in 2016 instead of 1986, posters here would be falling over themselves in praise of what ferocity and bite the boys still have.
It would be instantly hailed as the best album since... Undercover.
