I've noticed it. He plays the same 2 songs every gig. You Got the Silver and BTMMR. Last summer he was dueting with Bernard. Keith is getting old like the rest of us and what a drag it is.

Out of interest whats his top 3 post tree fall gigs?
I mean in terms of his playing, which are his top3, where he absolutely nails it, plays it and pulls the band along rather than gets carried, reduces his riff playing to the barest of minimums, and looks like he doesn't know where he is?
This is meant in the best possible taste, i just wanna see some uber richards playing and performance. he still brings it, but which have been his best since he came back from the tree incident?
Of the shows I attended:
Oslo 2007
London I 2012
Roskilde 2014

Speak for yourself! Some of us have a while to our forty’s yet; let alone old age!
Then again. It is worrying how time seemingly passes one by. I was 19 when I attended my first Stones concert in ‘02.

I hope your thread won't turn into a speculation game...
it reminds of the US kremlinologists who'd watch every public appearance by Russian leaders and make spurious deductions about their health and well-being.
"Oh Yuri Andropov used to move much more last year. That's the sure sign sth is happening with him!"

I'm amazed though to see how good other old acts like Sir Roderick, Sir Reginald and Sir Paul are doing. But I guess that is down to the fact that their supporting musicians are much younger.
Which is a luxury the Rolling Stones can't afford.

I guess I’m the rare spring chicken here. Turning 25 in a couple months. First saw them when I was 7 in 2002. I’ve been privileged to have seen them 26 times.
These guys have literally redefined the laws of humanity.
Wow, you're really going to argue this point?Quote

Abused his body? Sure, he has indulged in drugs. Everything from heroine to nicotine. Otherwise he has led a pretty comfortable life if you compare with an ordinary working man.
People who have done hard labor tend to be pretty worn out when they retire at 65.
He's led a charmed life...I hate the notion that he led a “hard” life. BS. He's escaped accountability for his bad actions, but objectively speaking, he abused his body with drugs, alcohol and cigarettes.Quote

No, not argue. Not at all. Just trying to get the whole picture.

Yeah the last shows of 14 On Fire tour he played really good.
2014 seems a great stint, Roskilde has a magnificent Midnight Rambeler too but..
Ive said it before and i'll say it again.
The Shanghai 2014 version of Midnight Rambler is unique and for me never fails to give me the shivers with taylor playing feedback dub lead, watching jagger skipping down the stage and woods/richards weaving a beauty behind. for me this is when the stars aligned the best post 70s on this tune. i absolutely looooooooove it. thank god i got sent a vid of this as its been pulled from youtube. its my fav post 70s version easy altho I'm sure others will disagree

I agree he's giving it all he got and then some. Here's a pic I took last summer.
I looked at his knees for some time and could only conclude he got those pants made so these two+ hours are a little easier on the legs. That's the level of commitment.
