QuotePalace Revolution 2000 I think Keith, as a player, had his very best tours with the Winos. The second MO tour was even hotter than the first. He played like possessed. And no matter how often he talks about weaving with Ron, the real weave was with Waddy. Absolutely, don't know if you have the Live In Boston bootleg but his playing on How I Wish, Something Else and Gimme Shelter etc

QuoteBig Al QuoteTaylor1 His playing was better in other tours including 1989-1990 Well, Keith's 'peak' was during that tour, in my opinion. 1981-'82 was great, though. It took me a while to warm to this live-era, but both the official releases of Leeds and Wembley are amongst my very-favourite Stones shows. Keith's extended soloing on 'Let Me Go' at Leeds

QuoteGasLightStreet What was crucial was the professionalism. Every aspect of the live show had changed. STEEL WHEELS is possibly their most historic tour in regard to tour culture. By having the big stage and bringing in a horn section, Bitch and Tumbling Dice etc now sounded more like the records. The backing vocals provided another level of authenticity to the album versions.

Quoteskytrench QuotekeefriffhardsWhat was it about the 81" 82" tour that was so obviously unsustainable, I'm not sure any shows got cancelled. Can you explain why the changes had to be made ? Maybe they grew up and did not feel comfortable in that mode anymore? I think your points about Mick needing a predictable, polished base to perform on are not far from the truth. And K

Quotebobo 81-82 my absolute favourite tour. But if they came back in 89 and was the same ragged shows, they would not have survived as a band. The times had changed way too much. The ragged shows were the first 2 or 3 dates in 81. Not sure there were many ragged dates in 82" where people would have been demanding a refund in 89" or 95" or 97, or 2003 or 2017 etc. What was i

Quoteskytrench Yes keefriffhards, it's hard to explain what happened after '82, maybe it comes down to them not overthinking it, not impeding the natural expressions. The dual guitars never reached the same level as the weaving and playing on UMT. What a legendary tour with worldwide exposure and massive crowds at the shows.

The thing you guys forget about that tour is we didn't get back up singers, Keith was singing with Mick like the way it's done, why did Keith get mostly cut off on future tours.

QuoteJalfstra I love the pure energy of the whole band in these shows. That's something that wasn't there anymore from the Steel Wheels tour on. But it came at some cost..And in particular Mick's singing.

QuoteKeithNacho 100% agree with you Those simple licks in UMT LSTNT, the arpeggio of TIOMS, the jam along imagination, ......Keith' attitude is in his best moment. Absolutely some of Keith's best moments on that tour, he continued to improve as a guitarist maybe up to about 93" but then the arthritis in his fingers derailed him. I also think Mick was amazing on that tour,
