Blondie plays guitar alot throughout the show. I was actually amazed at how many songs he plays on. I think the first three or four songs of the show (Vancouver) he was playing sitting down behind Chuck hidden from most of the crowd.

The guitar intro on "Under My Thumb" is now mostly keyboard, right?

Well I think we should becareful with the semantics here. To say that the keyboards have replaced the main riff in songs like JJF is a little misleading. Chuck is free to play what he wants...and if that happens to be the riff...that's fine. The thing is...we aren't supposed to hear him that clearly. Why? Because there should be a f'ing loud telecaster playing over it. Some songs lend to the keyboards being able to play the riff...JFF and Start Me Up for example. Brown Sugar...not really...it's a pure guitar riff. As is "Tumblin Dice."
To say that Chuck plays a riff should hardly be taken seriously. A keyboard cannot match or mimick the sound of an electric guitar. So, let's be clear that no one is saying that the keyboards have been "acting" as guitars to fool the audience.
If you can hear Chuck play during JJF...don't blame Chuck...it's Keith who should be scolded.
