Another thing is that, at least for me, rocknroll is music which needs to be played (and heard and seen) live and there must be some sort of visual show by which I don't mean gigantic screens and expensive props but interaction between musicians and with audience. The Stones are the masters playing live. I even believe that they enjoy it.

Saw it in cinema yesterday. Fabulous. It is the first Stones concert move I have seen where Keith outshined Mick.

Keith is very eloquent (as almost always) and in this one he was surprisingly patient. He would deserve a good informed interviewer.

It may be rock, but it is also essence of American music (blues, gospel, country, rocknroll...). Masterpiece.

QuoteRutger I have to disagree. Just My Imagination from Hampton 81 is very good, but the Texas 78 version is even better. It's raw, has truly brilliant guitar interplay and Jagger's performance is at the very top. video: Yes, this is pure Stones. Unmitable.

QuoteGasLightStreet Quotepaulywaul Quotepoor immigrant Keith sounds great !!! You think so ? Really ? We're obviously hearing different things. To me, he sounds perilously close to being out of tune ! He's in tune. What isn't happening is Keith following the song structure, so he goes out of key, hence your idea of "perilously close to being out of tune". I

I went to the Monday show and I have no complaints about his voice or anything else.

Quotetreaclefingers QuoteGasLightStreet Mick's enunciation is definitely something to behold, at least pre-1986. Since then it's been a, eh, well, anyway, his muddying of words, that sort of leering sneer he achieves by drawing certain letters out is way more important to the overall vibe of the song than how his vocal isn't really buried in the mix but blended just above enough:

VL album is worth the money just for the guitars and Keith's little hooks on Love is strong.

Great show today in Wembley. But the sound was really bad, a big ball of wool and cotton. And I was front of stage centre, not far from soundboard...!

Finally saw it. It is excellent. Remarkable woman. After reading various reviews generally emphasizing that the film is NOT about Stones, I was surprised that it is quite a lot about Stones, or at least Brian, Keith and Mick. Highly recommended.

Quotegeorgemcdonnell314 In response to the above posts about Keith's playing. I could care less if Keith's playing isn't what it was back in the 70's. They are not the same band as 50 years ago. I am sure the arthritis has something to do with it as well as the lack of constantly playing like they did years ago. We should all be grateful they are still performing. We all
