Very surprised nobody has posted this yet, made headlines everywhere. He surprised everything, even the band he played with.

You think so ? Really ?
We're obviously hearing different things. To me, he sounds perilously close to being out of tune !

It must have been rough for your ears everytime Keith took a lead the last 62 years, Pauly!
Well, very often it has been, you are absolutely correct !
Still love him though, but for me he's the rhythm king. With the exception of some occasional fills here and there, Keith and lead ? Forget it !

I had my doubts too on the first listen, Pauly. The second video posted puts the solo in context, including the chord sequence, which Keith is actually following. I thought his overall performance - including his vocals - was delivered with confidence and aplomb. He seemed to be enjoying himself immensely, as did the band. I've seen Emmylou smile more, but she does tend to favou

Made headlines "everywhere"?
No it didn't.

He's in tune. What isn't happening is Keith following the song structure, so he goes out of key, hence your idea of "perilously close to being out of tune".

Yeah, it’s pleasant. We are, however, applauding a man for something he mastered in his bedroom: aged 15. Well done for remembering those licks, Keith!

I think you're missing the point a bit Al.
...It's not about remembering those licks, which most of us could probably play when we were 15
..It's about Keith Richards still delivering seat of the pants Rock n Roll with attitude, in that unique way that made us all fall in love with it in the first place.

I think his relationship and access to Steve Jordan is a positive influence for Keith. No swipe on Charlie, as he was amazing and we’re not here without him, but being able to have Steve step into Charlie’s shoes, and likely the positive influence on his life Patti brings, seems to be paying dividends as Keith keeps rolling on.
It also helps when your main business partner hasn’t missed a beat either, so the motivation to keep up is ever present.
The perfect storm.

It sure did! Hey do a google search for Keith or country hall of fame and so many articles come up. Pretty cool Keith still has the appeal.
