But please advice your place in the crowd too. Would be very interesting if the best concert votes are from pit or any other places.

The only way to fairly judge that would be to attend everyone of the gigs.

Why is Keith performing better?? Twenty years of progresive decline. And suddenly he is the best Richards in years. Is his playing as well as his attitude on stage

When will some of you stop? You don´t have to be there to see, hear - if Keith is out of key or not. The clips on youtube is simple proof, truth. Some of you are not functioning. Just because you were there and had a great time - doesn´t mean every @#$%& note were right.
Ok?
Absolutely! I say this all the time. Being there you're so hyped up, the chemicals in your brain are going crazy. It's not easy to judge a show objectively that way. Another day, you might be in a bad mood, have bad seats and that will also completely change the way you perceive a show.Quote

I would agree, but the quality of some of the YouTube clips, today - Matt Lee’s, for example - are outstanding. In my opinion, you can form a good impression and judgment. In a way, I suppose, being in attendance isn’t necessarily the very-best yardstick: your caught up in the euphoria of it all, too often! A more sober and objective reflection is often best in hindsight.
Keith has been playing pretty consistent since 2012 but had some downs, like in 2017. I saw three shows in 2017 and it was the low-point of the recent years IMHO. Keith looked lost a lot of the times and not really present. Ronnie covered a lot for him. 2018 was the year when Keith sobered up (at least on the hard alcohol) and the difference between 2017 and 2018 was enormous, not just in his playing but in his whole stage presence. Now 2022 he's playing super sharp (compared to how he's been since 2012) and now he's covering for Ronnie a bit on some moments. And that's okay. I just hope Ronnie is doing good.Quote

I don't think Keith performs better this year than the years before but he is concentrating a lot and doesn't have so much parts where he doesn't play but rather walks around as he did in the past. I think Keith is getting honorred here because Ronnies playing has declined a lot since the last tour and this makes his part more important.
