Hey, as everyone's complaining I'll throw my two cents in as well.
I could do with a shorter Sympathy For The Devil, I could also do without it too.
When it came back in 1989 it was cool but now it's been 30 years as a staple in the set.
I know the crowd loves to go "ooh ooh" but it kind got old.
Anyway, can't wait to see the show on Sunday, whatever they're gonna play.

So many moaning, repetitive cloth-eared Eeyores on here - the fan board for know-it-alls who HATE the Rolling Stones. Give it a rest. Eff off to another board.
'Keith can't do this, can't play that, this is crap, bum notes everywhere, my dog could play it in his sleep.'
The bum notes are in your head. I was right there near the stage, experienced every moment, soaked it right in along with 50,000 others, who experienced something great and joyous, and the keyboard naysayers are talking shit. Their opinion is worthless static and they really bring this discussion down, and it's a shame. Not everything must be positive, not saying that, but this kind of relentless sour, mewling negativity and criticism really beings these discussions down.

It makes no sense that people are saying that CYHMK was badly played in one breath and then too short in another! If it was played that badly surely you would want it to be as short as possible?

Anyway, in my opinion it was especially well played by Keith and Ron did a reasonably good job on the solo. I like the fact it was short, not least because I never thought Mick's harmonica solo suited the song at all and also because frankly the extended jam bit can go on too long at times. It had a slot to fill so it was shortened to fit in that slot, and it worked.

My thoughts as well.

There won’t be many days left like this, so just enjoy them, while we can.

There was 14 of us there Saturday and some younger nieces & nephews for the first time and they loved it.
Can’t wait for Sunday.

I think all of you who relentlessly complain must be on the younger side. Sooner than you think, you will no longer be able to bash them, or laud them, in the present tense.

So because you spent your moneyto go to a concert and heard it live you are now the Pope or Emperor dictating to everyone what they must like or leave this board.Yeah, right.It’s not hate, just personal criticism. It’s not right or wrong.Why don’t you criticize the likes of Mathijs who constantly rips Mick Taylor.You shouldn’t because it’s his opinion.Me thinks you are quite silly

It was great to hear the short version of CYHMK

The Stones put on a really good show , possibly because the London audience demands it, they have seen and heard it all before ( concert going people ) and as a result they are hard work as an audience. Keith even mutters ass holes if you turn the volume up with speakers on his solo set.

Mick and Keith rose to the occasion, Ronnie struggling a bit, sorry but it's true, Ronnie is the weak link this time out, his energy is down from last year and his solo's are poor.

One more thing, Mick Taylor unrehearsed and winging with a hideous migraine is better than Ronnie on his best ever form, there is no argument, but of course Ronnie compliments Keith and fills in all the gaps and is indispensable at this stage, the only replacement for Ronnie if he can't keep going, ( and i suspect this is Ronnie's last tour.) is Waddy.

i suspect (or at least hope) if ronnie steps down or god forbid his cancer returns

that keith will say enoughs enough and call it a day

because i belevie for keith half the fun of performing is playing onstage with his friends

i think that's why he didn't quit after charlie passed because he's good friends with steve and enjoys playing with him

and i don't know if he has the same kind of bond with waddy and i'm sure he doesn't with mick taylor

Oh the drama queen is upset again, how dare people discuss music when i'm not at the center of attention, you remind me of a male Karen.

And what has Trump and politics got to do with the last few pages of discussion.

I agree but i don't think it's a matter of just Keith continuing or not, i think Mick will want to continue until he can't anymore ( lets face it Mick can continue for another decade if he stops running around the stage ) and Keith is loyal to Mick, plus Keith would hate the thought of Mick continuing without him, i know that all the Stones are in this to the end, that's become clear already, they live for this.

The problem with CYHMK in 2022 is that of trying to reproduce a jam created many years ago by a particular group of musicians, when only one of them is still on stage (or two if you count Mick, but I'm talking about the instrumental jam here). Which of the original group you miss most is down to you, but it isn't ever going to sound that way again (alas). Keith made a good job of the opening, and the first half worked, but once the jam started it just didn't flow. It isn't anyone's fault for not being an exact copy of the absent person whose part they are playing - and that's the trouble: they are playing a part, not jamming.

Either don't play it (which would be a pity) or play it a lot, and rehearse it a lot, until the jam starts to gel like Midnight Rambler does.

I can love the Stones (invariably my favourite band after AC/DC) and criticise them Unhesitatingly prefering Taylor to Wood, find Chuck intrusive (what Stu and Nicky never were), note while accepting with tenderness the decline in Keith's playing...

Just as one loving his best friend with all his faults.

I'm not here to idolise icons.
