He's a Hero ..............and a drunk . If anyone can think his performance in Austin was a sober one, they are kidding themselves . I've heard all the arguments about "he's experimenting", "he's weaving", " It's what he does" and my favourite " you try playing in a stadium at 77 "
The thing is I'm not getting paid about a $ 1 Million a night .If he was going senile or his fingers were deteriorating why did he play the earlier shows almost note perfect with confidence . He hasn't been able to be the old "Keef" since 06 and the accident. He used to use Coke to recover from the drinking. I've seen bad nights in person in 06, 07, 16 and 17 and although I wasn't there on Saturday the recordings don't lie .
Please stop drinking or just stop . Embarrassing and very very sad

Tonight in Hollywood, Keith (and the band for that matter) was absolutely on point. The early Keith of this tour returned tonight in full force. Despite the basic setlist it was a triumph for the band. You'll see when the live DVD is out.

I suspect he was drunk, too. However, the state of his fingers is a genuine, and the steady, gradual decline is, in part, because of this.

It is weird that Jagger tolerate this lack of responsability. There must be other causes gor this

What is the Stones without a drama? This thread is a manifestation of that. When Keith manages to hit a right note or playing somehow accordingly to the song, he is hailed 'playing better' than 'name the year', doing a wonderful job or something, but when not, he is doomed to be drunk, stoned, senile or something.
Like I said earlier I don't see such drama. His heights or lows during this tour hasn't been that different or distinct compared to his doings during the last decade or so. On the long run, I think better to call it as AGING (which also explains why there might differences in quality between and within performances - you know, things like that happens when your power is not like it used to be. Weak or shit moments occur and one cannot do basically anything about it).

I also think that this idea if Keith makes mistakes, being uneven or even screwing things up, that it must be him taking some substances, is based on the old myth of him being immortal, a sort of Superman. No natural reasons affecting a normal old person do qualify to legendary Keef. So, there must be some other, extrensic reasons for that. For some odd reason the idea of him drinking, smoking weed, snorting etc. is somehow more alright or acceptable in the eyes of some diehard fans of his (and of a bigger audience, to be true). The idea of him actually aging, and that the (old) age - like it does for for any avarage, non-mortal person- is actually affecting on him or his performance, that's horrible to even think of... Keith myth lives on, and including some substances there, well, never that bad. A cool part of it, like always.
Just my observation.

Someone here sounds a bit wishy washy....what happened to the "I know with absolute certainty Keith is drunk again" theory...

It's so weird, i say he's drinking and posters attack me, others say he's drunk and its ok.
I even stated and indicated the exact moment he started drinking on this tour .
I've read all the BS from posters hinting he has senile dementia , they don't have the know how to understand you don't have dementia all of a sudden after 7 shows of not having dementia, and then low and behold it goes away for the last show after having dementia for a lot of shows , its called drinking or not drinking, smoking weed or not. Why do you guys judge everything by the last show. Keith's been creating this pattern of inconsistency for 15 years, its not completely about age and fingers, it's about applying yourself like a professional or caving in to old habits.
I drop links to clips from YouTube showing various changes in performance and they don't get referenced, someone copies my link and the comments flow.
Its a crap shoot.
