I think Keith peaked in 1990, this is Sympathy For The Devil on steroids. He did a similar solo in 89' in Atlantic City. This clip in 1990 Tokyo. Couldn't resist this one from 89' Atlantic City. Keith's a force of nature at his best here. Happy

QuoteTantekäthe Judging by the recordings only, I have to say this has to be the best "version" of the band since - at least - the Licks tour more than 20 years ago (exceptions like the glorious 2013 outing at Glasto not withstanding). Take SFTD for example, when was the last time the guitar parts - if played at all - were not awkward excursions but actually complimented the song? I cou

Sympathy For The Devil was outstanding in Chicago, possibly better than any version from Keith for 20 years. Keith will do this sort of incredible out of the blue kick ass playing and it makes you wonder just how much more is under the surface waiting to get out, but alas the tours end after 14 to 20 shows and the guitars go back in their cases for another year or two. How can Keith get SFTD

Well he can't have it both ways, show me another 80 year old charging top Dollar for tickets, for mega bucks the show should feel fresh and give an element of surprise. For me it's getting a bit stale, can't Mick just get out of this routine, i know it works but come on, show us the artist not the workout.

QuoteSighunt Boy, we're getting a lot of mileage out of this thread. From everything I've read and interviews of I've seen over the years, I would surmise that Ron Wood, given his sort of light-hearted, happy go lucky personality, serves a valuable function by adding to the chemistry of the band, running interference when necessary, and being a sort of intermediary between the two

Getting back to Ronnie, do many of you think Ronnie is much better than what we hear from his playing, I'm constantly frustrated he holds back to much, flashes of brilliance that make you feel yeah more Ronnie, much more. I guess this is why Keith said that Ronnie is the most sympathetic guitarist he has ever played with.

Ronnie ?, in some ways he saved his best till last, love his last solo album, plays great on the new album and is playing really well live now with Keith. But make no mistake, he's no Mick Taylor, it's comparing apple's to oranges, almost like comparing Keith to Taylor, completely pointless and Ronnie would be the first to admit it.
