Licks was a great tour with a great concept and a fantastic stage design and great selection of songs and how they would feature different albums and play several tracks from and just over all FUN !Quote

If I could make One gripe or bitch it would be the way they showed the 4 boxes with Mick and Keith on the top 2 boxes and Ronnie underneath Mick and Charlie to the left next to Ronnie , which I didn't care for and I would rather have preferred the way the Stones had the 4 screens upright the same way they had them during the Licks Tour ( which I loved so much )
not a bad idea actually now that you mention it....all 4 across w/ no top-bottom
it might've been distorted (stretched out), though....
Long Live Licks! What a tour!

It was sweet and honest and authentic.
..... it still gave us the live essence of who the Stones are today. I love that.

I think part of what makes the video successful is the Stones' interiors : none of those bland, blank-walled megamansions many of the other performers were playing in. Mick in a tamely-lit rocker's lair, Ronnie in his weirdly-shaped home with his artwork and random ornaments, Keith in a retired pirate's salon with pint and book, and Charlie in the cabinet of the jazz-minded country gentleman.

For obvious reasons I will refrain from giving exact location.
Not far from London but out in the countryside.

Ronnie has a country home in Hertfordshire and it looks like his performance was recorded at his nearby cottage where he does his painting.

When I listen to the Stones live today, I don't expect the performance of life, because these guys are all over 70 and it would be stupid to expect it. I only expect them to be able to give me emotions and they still manage to. Mick is still in great shape, Charlie is always him, Ronnie today who is sober sounds much better than on some tours of the late 90s and 2000s. Keith I think he has some problems, perhaps with his hands or who knows, he too he is human, but sometimes he still manages to amaze me in his simplicity. I'm happy I'm still around and I don't agree that it seems like the other night it sounded like a Mick song. I think these are just paranoia, even on Mick's worst album there is a lot of Stones, so I don't understand the point.
I don't make all this distinction, Mick is a Stones, the most important along with Keith, so even in his solo songs, there is a lot of Rolling Stones.

I'm probably not going to be popular for saying this, but I feel that Keith hasn't been quite right for a while. We noticed at the two Chicago shows last year that he seemed to lack the enthusiasm and energy/showmanship that he previously had. He played well, but didn't appear to be enjoying himself with the old Keith flair that he'd had a year or so ago.
He always used to look like he was having his own private party on stage with that flashy smile and laugh, but last year pretty much just stood there and played. I know he's getting older and probably feeling his age. Maybe he just needs to concentrate that much harder these days as well.
I definitely think he wasn't into the stay at home video thing, he barely touched a string, and didn't contribute much at all. Just hope he's ok. I Will always love him, he's my favourite Stone.

he hasn't been quite the same since he fell out of the tree. still great at times. also, that lifestyle has to catch up to you eventually. he rode it out longer than most but he is definitely elderly now. i could be wrong but i can't see keith getting up at 6 in the morning & going for a jog.
I would love It Hairball! Stones online are great. I hope you can enjoy a lot of The Stones while you can go to the rescheduled show very soon. I think this is a pretty good Idea, maybe they can perform again on social media soon. I'm sure that The Stones are ready to rock as soon as posible so It will be amazingQuote

well I think the tour will be on next year
Imagine if they did a pay-per-view series of these livestreams in the order of the original tour dates.
First up San Diego May 8th - pains me to think of that date now as I was going to be there, but if they did an exclusive livestream might ease the pain....
I'd happily pay $20 to see a full set of at least 19 songs...they could even have the song vote......and piss breaks would be quick and easy..in and out wouldn't miss a thing.

Here is Keith at his supreme powers. Very energetic and very participating. He is as decisive and as slashing as Jagger. This was 25 days before he fell from the coconut tree in Fiji.

One of the highlights of my adult-life was rambling around Scandinavia seeing the Stones 5 times on the Licks Tour....ending w/ Cirkus Stockholm...a dream.
Hey - if you are Greek (and that's not just a name) - Happy Easter!
