I wasn't there, but judging by clips it sounds like another strong gig.
A particular question, for folks who discovered Keith's "@#$%& Up" (I don't know how many) on CYHMK: would you like to post any song's clip you consider as the clearest and to check the time of those "@#$%& up"? Just curious...
That's news to me, what Keith @#$%& up on CYHMK, do you mean Ronnies solo, that was a complete @#$%& up from start to finish.
The intro is messed up, the riff doesn't go like that. But it's Keith's song so I guess he can play it however he wants to.
There weren't any @#$%& ups on CYHMK. It goes the way it goes, it's Keith's riff, he can do what the @#$%& hell he wants with it. It's not exactly the same as what went down in a studio 50 years ago among young men in their twenties, but it's still clearly CYHMK, and not one person on here has the authority to dictate how it should go - although maybe the board's moaners should hire a royal park or stadium at great expense, invite 50,000 people to pay a couple of hundred+ each and then climb up on stage and play it to the masses 'the way it should be played'. Good luck with that.
Nor was it a jam - it's a song that wrapped up in five minutes or so because that's how the artists who created it wanted to do it this time around, to the best of their current ability.
Listen to the first minute of the song, plenty of mistakes from Keith there, with Ronnie filling in to hold the song together. Keith's accuracy and timing is poor if judged objetively, but if we keep in mind he's 78 with arthritis it's pretty good.

The fondations of the Stones, the unique base, are Mick and Keith.
I'm convinced that both of them would continue to play under the "Rolling Stones brand" without Ronnie.

No - I meant what I wrote.
It was not just "a cold", and it's nothing to downplay or make light of.

Oh sorry Hairball, my mistake, hope your friend gets well soon and others that may have caught it at the show, i really thought covid had passed into something less worrisome by now.

When they started up CYHMK, it sounded great, it focused every set of ears there, and kept em focused. It was really good to hear at the time, It may not repay repeated listening as a recording on a phone in a crosswind in a park, which make it very different from what was recorded in a studio 50 years ago, but WTF.
A big hand, please, for the sour negativity and hatred for a band this board is about. 'Vegas band revue playing mini snippets' for god's sake! Still "IMO" is the only banner that matters!

It was pretty good, but Ronnie's solo let it down, it was pretty directionless and pretty sloppy. Just compare it to MT at Glastonbury in 2013, not even in the same ballpark. Even compared to his own solo in 2015 at the Fonda.
Ronnie's style of playing is much more suited to the type of solo he plays on MR.
I wish there was an emoji for “blue in the face,” but I’ll keep saying it. Both Keith and Ronnie’s signals are too dry. They simplified their setup beginning in 2012 (I’m guessing because modern PA systems have gotten so much better).
Ronnie’s technique isn’t what it used to be, but he’s not far off. It’s that his tone is unforgiving. Go listen to him on “Undercover” or “Miss You” in Atlantic City ‘89. There was more grease in the signal chain; hence his playing was effortless.

Yeah Max it's times like these when the haters show up and reveal themselves, i got upset yeasterday with the negative comments but at the end of the day in their hearts they know at nearly 80 years of age Mick and keith are kissing serious ass, and no one, myself included expected this level of power and energy from their shows.
I just had the miss fortune to watch McCartney at Glasto for nearly 3 hours, there was no comparison, Paul was OK but the voice was an old mans voice, Mick is still Mick, he still has plenty of punch and their songs Mick and Keith play excite the audience in a way Paul can't and never could.

I really (desperately in fact…) hope you meant to say “kicking”…

I feel some people are too obsessed with the original, sticking to it too much. Reminds me of Pavlov’s dog. Kind of classical conditioning.

The famous “piano coda” of the second half of the song Layla — arguably the segment that has made the song what it is and so iconic — was not played live until 1983. Clapton played a long, extended guitar solo and then finished the song. And not many fans complained — they just accepted it the way it was.
CYHMK was not my favorite track on Sticky Fingers in the first place. I wasn’t into the jam part that much. Later it grew on me and I can say I like it now. With that personal background, I didn’t bother about the truncated performance at Hyde Park. I even welcomed it! There’s a certain charm in this song-oriented version in its own right.
