too bad that he ins't able to sing and play the guitar at the same time. Otherwise songs like 'Connection' could be really great
He plays and sings at the same time on other songs. Seemingly, he stops playing when he needs extra focus on his singing for parts of songs. If memory serves, there is only one guitar on the studio version of Connection, so maybe he doesn't see the need of strumming through all of it.
I can't remember having seen him singing and playing the guitar at the same time in recent years,
Connection sounds really great these days – at least during these 20-30 seconds when Keith really plays guitar
20-30 seconds?

right – form 01:25 to 01:55 is the only longer part he has both of his hand on his guitar, from ca. 01:35 to 01:55 you can hear that he's really playing
Not true.

Not true.
where else can you see his both hands at the guitar and/or hear him playing?

As others have more articulately pointed out: Keith can still perform the open-g numbers to a high standard. Also, the time is good; his cranked-telecaster is always a winner to my ears. For me, it’s the sound of his Les Paul TV and ES355 which highlight his weaknesses. The sound just isn’t right to my ears. Others have touched on this, I recollect. His soling sounds painful at times.
I believe he's playing in the key of Keef Richards.Quote

It’s painful because he plays jibberish nonsense sometimes. The song is in the key of A and he is playing a lead in Ab for a few bars. He’s clueless sometimes.

I agree he might have been drinking in recent tours, its unbelievable he has got this far in this great shape if that is true, remember Ronnie saying Keith wasn't nice in drink anymore, hinting he went from nice to nasty in shorter time spans.
I disagree he's using coke, probably something like Aderall, something legal, Ronnie has likely been using something similar in recent tours, either that or bloody strong coffee

Yes, I agree. Keith said in 2007(?)that his doctor had said that he can't do coke ever again because of some medication which is very dangerous to use at the same time with coke. Of course it's possible that he doesn't have that same medication anymore but I still doubt he would be using.
Instead, totally possible that he could be using some adderall (or similar adhd medication) or even more possible that he could be using some kind of nootropics like modafinil which should be very safe to use and without any withdrawal side effects. Even astronauts use modafinil nowadays (for example in ISS station that drug is used).
And not drinking at all (almost) I think.
And maybe Steve Jordan has important role here also. Maybe the change in the band has really forced Keith to concentrate on the actual playing much more.

I think that at this age, and at this stage in their career the Stones should not be judged on their musical abilities anymore.

Hey, my friend, they are professional musicians. What should we judge them by other than their musical qualities? By their dental status or their pension amount?

Actually I am going to visit Louvre soon to see how the old bitch is doing. Hopefully next year The Stones too...
But the secret of long, happy life of a Rolling Stones fan is an ability to move the goal posts as the years and decades go by. But I guess I am not myself in any Altamont fighting form either no more...

They used to be a nostalgia act, now they're a museum act.
Keith is not playing better, Jagger doesn't still have it. ... enjoy the show but don't kid yourself.
