Keith never smiles on opening nights in the modern days. He is a human, and has nerves, and needs to focus. During the tour he will loosen up. Still he played very good yesterday, which is not common for opening nights. Remember hamburg, or werchter which was the worst ever.Quote

It's nice to see them playing and having fun. There are (to me) lots of new names posting here and the superlatives are a bit much. To be honest the superlatives seem unreal to me most of the time. It's almost like it is shilling for the Rolling Stones.
I watched half a dozen clips and when Keith is not smiling and there is no twinkle in his eye he looks befuddled.
Glad you are so happy but somewhere there is a complete 1970 or 1971 concert sitting in film canisters on some shelf in some basement. Now to scan that in and remix the sound would be something really special.

Indeed the superlatives are not motivated but still this premiere does not make me worried they will embarrass themselves on stage like Hamburg 2017 did. They make some mistakes here and there like always but overall they sound very similar to 2018 which is a good thing.
I was there and Keith was indeed very worrisome. Glad he got back in shape. Also the tempos were quite slow and sometimes a bit dragging. Have to say it was the worst gig I've saw them playing wise. (didn't see them in 2007) The fabulous setlist and the new awesome production made up for it thouQuote

Bullshit. Hamburg 2017 was a good gig. apparently you were not there, and watched it from your sofa.

Keith’s dye-job looks ridiculous. Everyone knows he’s fully-grey and balding. He looked fabulous last year, in my opinion. Anyway, more importantly. Great to see Sad, Sad, Sad back in the set-list. It’s first time since 2002?
Well most people know Mick and Ronnie dye their hair too so what's the problem with Keith dying his for a change.
From where do you know that? Didn't read that anywhere. I think it was Keith's fault at least on the songs that he started. Because the intros were already too slow. Later during the tour Charlie sped the songs up after the intros.Quote
keithsmanI thought that was down to Charlie, he had a back injury at the time, can't blame Keith for everything, although many on here would like toQuote

Yeah I always thought that. But he never does that, never did that for years. So I learned to accept itQuote

Whatever the case - Keith should hit just once his Tele after SFM or JJF has fisnished.

The pits look really full. Still hoping for pit with my lucky dips ... but I am but 5’5” so maybe the pit won’t be so good for me. Anxious to hear what the pit was like tonight, stage height, etc from someone who was in there.
I was on the rail in pit 1. I'm 5 11. The stages wasn't that high, but I couldn't see Charlie and had to tippy toe to see keith. Camera man was in my way a lot too.
First time on the rail for the stones. If I get lucky with my lucky dips and get pit again, I'll probably stand about 5 to 10 layers of people back.
I'm a keith man, but it was nice focusing on mick. The band sounded great. Leith played very well.

No need to worry about band's performance and power.
They still have it all.

Did Ronnie play the black Les Paul instead of his Strat?
That might make his playing be more prominent and different in this show.
Did Keith play his LP Junior at all?
