i think the mustache has to go, and then we can tell for sure, but i really think he HAS gained weight...stomach...face...apparently hes a little slower on stage...less kicks and flailing...?
Maybe it's time to have musicians weigh in before each performance, like prize fighters. If they fall below or above the desired weight in their class, they should not be allowed to perform.

The facial weight gain makes me think it's an effect of arthritis medication if he's on a steroid. My Mom takes prednisone, a steroid, for severe arthritis and it makes your face swell like that. Go ahead, ridicule me. I have NO inside track on Keith's medical care. Just my guess. tommy
Yup...compared to past tours...he's not as slim. He usually gains some weight between breaks and most always sheds off by the 2nd/3rd week of the tour. Doesn't look like he shook it off this time....

Could be. Could also be the reason he sometimes, on some numbers seems totally lost on stage.
ask yourself what the instant critics would have been bitching about on a daily basis in 75/76 if they'd had the technology to post whatever idle notion they feel like posting. who's losing their hair, what is that pansy dance, what do they need all that flash juju for, you call that singing?! who are those interlopers, Charlie can't hack it - look they need a second guy to cover for him, can't stand that godawful plinkyplink keyboard sh1t, what a sell-out, what's he on, how much do they weigh, they should quit and the worrrrrrld is coming to an end
and i haven't even gotten to setlists, ticket prices and various musicians falling down onstage
the worrrrrrld is coming to an end, i tell you. and it's only 75/76.

right. so what happened to "if the music was great all the time noone would care"? as noted above: one of the wonders of the internet is that folks post just any old idle notions, thoughtful or not, and it doesn't necessarily mean much, does it.

He's simply getting older...just like the rest of us. Unlike a lot of ageing "stars", he doesn't appear to have a big issue with the fact either.
..and FWIW, there are also times in the past when he's carried a bit more meat. Check out periods at the end of the 80s in the Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle / Winos era.
