Quotednewton99 Hi all from dnewton98 (Youtube handle) - I will post my vids in a bit but they won't be the usual closeups and many are from far left and are very blurry. It was a fun show but worthless for vids for me given I wasn't on rail or in the seats - Look at Fake Fan videos - he says he is very tall (wish I could have met him in person) and was center per vids I have seen.

Keith is fine, as usual.

QuoteDandelionPowderman Would any of you stop right before your 60th anniversary, if you still were able to perform? Of course not. Before almost certainly not, after (given the circumstances) yes.
Forum: Tell Me

Why ? Because stop when you are still great might be the best what you can do.

QuoteProfessorWolf i noticed something during jjf in detroit in the jim powers video there is a point where keith takes his hand off the neck of the guitar looks at it makes a face and shakes his hand before he keeps playing Maybe behind is just the colder weather.

QuoteKRiffhard Start me up: maybe this is the perfect live version. Not too fast or slow. Not too forced.Every instrument is perfect, especially Steve and Darryl. And, despite all the criticism, Keith's playing was very good on this one.

There were some more mistakes in Austin compared with the shows from middle of the tour. But generally I agree with Doxa. Yes if you look carefully all three Stones look sometimes tired during this tour, especially in the last third. But that's expected. We are happy to hear and see them. At the same time they should be conservative about future shows. That said it is their

QuoteDoxa What's the drama here? Yeah, Keith's solo in "Sympathy" is a bit sloppy, but still a manifestation of his 'less is more' playing philosophy with some odd dramatic pauses. Every hit should matter. An artistic choice. The dude's having a show, and interacting with an audience, having fun with that iconic solo spot. He's smiling and knows what he is

QuoteJustin I think they over-extended themselves a bit with the number of dates--as small as it is. Quantity eventually effected quality. Apparently, less than 10 shows is the way to go. Not sure if it's financially sound to do such a short tour but it's clear that Keith needs it to be a shorter tour so he can deliver consistently. Not gonna make a huge deal out of it. Who kno
Forum: Tell Me

QuoteJustin Take away the lead work on Sympathy and Satisfaction and that would fix most of the issues. Those moments are screwing up the vibe in the room. And it looks to me like Keith himself would prefer not to take those solos anymore. He seems happiest playing rhythm. JJF, STU, MR all were perfectly fine last night. But he did these solos fine on many shows this fall.

They can do some shows in Europe and anniversary shows in London next year. Then it's up to them, but they should be conservative with the future. It's best to stop while you are still great.

QuoteHairball Quotepowerage78 Awful Keith playing during Sympathy. Empty eyes, staggering gait, Keith is totally lost here. He seems not to know what to do. And instead of a solo, a totally incoherent sound mush. Sad to see. Concerning...maybe one of the reasons for the short setlist? Dallas had the 18 song setlist during the rain which is somewhat understandable, but Austin.... wond

Keith was a bit tired. But no big deal. Majority of songs and riffs (if I can judge from YT) was very good. some songs were awesome (Rambler, Start me up ... ) There were some mistakes in sympathy but not catastrophic. He sometimes played on wrong fret, maybe the darkness or cold contributes to that. That said, they should be conservative with planning the future of the band. Next year sh

Quotestargroover An amazing gig!The guys full of energy,smiles and what a performance!The Best of the tour maybe? Keith is a bit tired. But no big problems and no big impact on his playing. He is awesome, given the conditions.

Some songs have slight mistakes. But no problem. This Start me Up sounds great to me (and usually Start Me Up is not my most preferred song to hear live :-))
Forum: Tell Me

Just saw this on YouTube. It's not bad, actually it is decent performance and I like creedence Clearwater revival's songs. But it reminds how great the Rolling stones still are. I agree with the above.

I looked at the videos and Keith was playing OK for the most of the show.I do not think anything is wrong with him.
Forum: Tell Me

I do not agree. Especially Keith's setup fits his style perfectly. No need to change.

Paint it black is now better than at the beginning of the tour.

Good characteristics. A surge of rock'n'roll (great rock'n'roll) raging against the dying of the light. I hope this surge won't be that short. They are playing very well.

QuoteRocktiludrop Why can't Mick sing Shattered, this is terrible, hopefully down to the cell phone recording, guitars were pretty good though, nice solo from Ronnie. Just hope Mick isn't suffering from the desert gig. She's A Rainbow . Mick saving voice a little ? Mick is singing OK on those tunes.
Forum: Tell Me

They are awesome. Steve Jordan now fits much better in the sound. He is lower in the mix, and does not hit the drums that hard.

Quoteharlem shuffle Keith is still a good rythmplayer,but soloing no,please no more solos from Keith.He is not able to do that anymore.Probably because of his fingers.But the rythm and the riffs works good anyway Some solos, like the one in Honky tonk women, sound very well and I am glad he does it.

QuoteProfessorWolf i have a question with all this talk about how the cd sounds has anyone got the cassette how does it sound in comparision i imagine as a analog format it would sound similar to the vinyl The cassette tapes sounded a bit different too, they've got a bit of distortion but that type of distortion is perceived as euphonic by many.

I am (currently) the Itunes's subscriber. Tattoo You is a great re-release content-wise. But considering the mastering, I must support the statements that see the current mastering as brickwalled and more artificially sounding. It can be listened well in the car/on the radio/in earphones, but for home listening on loudspeakers, I prefer the original CD releases any day. Unfortunately, th
