Yesterday my friend Jacopo of www.rollingstonesitalia.com went to Munich to see the show and noticed one thing I did notice as well in Milan last tuesday. In Milan, right before SMU, Keith had to call Mick and warn him he was right in the middle of the fire-cannons they have on stage for pyros. I could read Keith's lips telling Mick: "Careful, fireworks" and Mick laughed while almost shitting his pants on-stage realizing how dangerous and painful could be consequences to such a reckless behaviour. Now Jacopo gets back from Germany and reports that yesterday as well Keith had to call his buddy to let him know he was in the midlle of the pyro area right before Brown Sugar. Is Mick going down in flames on-stage the Bigger Bang of the tour?
To drift slightly off topic.. ...might this not also indicate that Keith has rather more of his wits about him on stage than some doubters have recently suggested ?

Actually that's the only thing that got me thinking Keith's brain is still working. Yet, Keith's a street-smart survivor so I wouldn't be surprised by his instinct.
Keith may be the most drug/alcohol addled rockstar who's remained 75% functional, but he's watched Mick's back before (the famous guitar attack on stage invader in 81-82)...Maybe Mick's controlling nature has an impish counter-impulse that just wants to let go & ....Explode!
