I think Keith kicked it all off, he became a bit emotional during his solo spot, he looked like he wanted to say something but changed his mind, i think he wanted to say goodbye.

Not that keen on Fool To Cry so was delighted i got to hear SFM at Cardiff, and the Satisfaction re-Start At Twickenham.
Funnily enough those were both the biggest highlights for me EddieByword, to pick a winner i have to go for Satisfaction because it was in the moment, the band and the audience with the music were all meshed together during second half at Twickenham, the band could sense it, we could feel it, it was as if the music and the crowd were pulsating as one united force giving strength to one another.
These things rarely happen , ( i can only describe it as similar to experiencing enlightenment ) but they do happen at Rock concerts from time to time, i will take that encore at Twicks on home turf as my final memory of this band that i love.

In Brussels 2007 I felt the same way. Seemed Keith was saying goodbye and/or sorry about his decline in playing. But surely it was something emotional. Let's hope we're speculating about this subject through more touring years ahead. I can't blame any of these guys for thinking its the last time. At 55 I'm already thinking it too!
He played great gigs in 2006 after his fall.. also his playing became a lot better in the second half of 2007. Werchter, madrid and some other gigs where lowpoints. It is amazing 10years later he is so much better and happierQuote

Oh no, i just watched I Wanna Hold You from Werchter, felt like crying, Keith really shouldn't have been forced ( or should not have agreed ) to tour in 07' , he needed time to recover properly from his life threatening head injury and Patti's health problems.
I think he just sank into the world that took him away from everything, the world of addiction, i didn't expect to ever see Keith live or alive again after that tour.
But now he's turned it all around, and he is doing his best to give something back, to give us something great to remember the Stones by.
We can't ask any more of him than that, what he is doing right now with the Stones is beyond what any of us expected, and at the end of the day addiction is a disease, he didn't turn up drunk on purpose, honest to God i don't know how he managed to get through some of those gigs in 07' , he was all over the place, Mick prevented him from falling off the stage a couple of times.
He was obviously depressed, makes it so much more rewarding when we see him so happy on stage today, he has the most loyal patient band mates ( and fans ) a guy could ever ask for.
