I always thought mick was the insurance because Keith was in such wobbly shape and as he became more reliable, there was less need for the insurance ( plus all the minor irritations note) but you can imagine all sorts of things -no one outside the band will ever know for sure. Forum: Tell Me
I do wonder if the format may have to change - the band ( particularly Mick ) seemed jolly tierd at the end of this one even though good breaks, travel distances were not too long and everyone on top form and no apparent emotional tension . I wonder if Mick will need more rest - longer gaps ? Shorter tours? guest artists ? Shorter set ? A few more slower Blues numbers. Forum: Tell Me
A nice bluesy set with popular ones ( tears from heaven , acoustic Leila , crossroads ) and old blues ( key to the highway etc ) A bit disengaged I tought. Shortish set . small jam with CS . Winwood really good I thought. Forum: Tell Me
What about Patti ?top model who gave it up for old fashioned keith, She has survived a really horrible cancer and has kept going through thick and thin and shirly - sculpter, artist , too horse breeder. Both pretty amazing women Forum: Tell Me
They also have a lot of people who have worked with them for a long time and to a certain extent rely on them - it’s a touring machine which has taken years to put together Forum: Tell Me
Home after 4 mile walk to Kew Gardens where picked up the last train but had a great time nonetheless . The popular vote for best show so far for U.K. tour seems to be Cardiff. Not sure about Ronnie more extravagant style of solo but perhaps personal taste Forum: Tell Me
What is the betting for Keith’s set - I was looking forward to ygts but I fear it will be something else now. Also SFM at the last gig so maybe not this time - it should be in all of them - I agree with BV , one of their best Forum: Tell Me
The fascination is seeing Keith deal with all his disabilities and ( when he is concentrating ) he can still communicate something interesting and sometimes something very moving. We all know know he can’t play like he did before the accident and the arthritis set in but he will never be just “ amateur” because his presence and timing and touch will occasionally emerge - and everyone wants to b Forum: Tell Me
