I gotta say Keith didnt fxck up in the 70s even if some fans dont like the drughazed versions of the 1975 Happy. It was charming, he was cool and it wasnt really an ongoing thing, it was 1975 and somehow it worked, he was young and could get away with murder. He was a great guitarist back then no matter how high he was. He isnt great anymore, not on stage at least. Same solos, same riffs, exact same licks year after year after year. And when he doesnt bother to deliever them you have Mick singing over a drum beat. And it shows.

slightly off topic...but on the stones bootleg "happy birthday nicky" from australia '73, Charlie Watts gets off the beat to gimme shelter for about the first 1/2!!! of the song...the band keeps waiting for him to get back on the beat but it takes him an unbelievable amount of time!...and the irony of that is during the introductions of the band, mick introduces "charlie watts, never misses a beat" before they played gimme shelter
I'd love to hear that!
Absolutely funny ...

Note: I prefer this to Vegas, if this is real (?) it's just a temporary mistake no more no less (Keith plays JJF in standard tuning?) and I love what he does with the riff after the first verse.

Oh man - that actually HURT when I saw what you wrote and then looking at the guy - and then listening to him "play"! It's ridiculously funny!
And yet - somehow, his guitar sound is incredible! I know he's playing Sway but...what the hell is he DOING?

This is a really different version compared to all the others of this era but for some reason it's actually quite good!
i'm not sure what the bigger mistake is, keith's playing or mick using a headset microphone. ugh.Quote

Out of tune or wrong chords?
In Oslo 2007, Keith started the riff in C#/G# instead of C/G...
