Yes, most of the audience care about notes because they are there for the music and not for a freak exhibition.

But each to his own.

"Excellent review in the "Standaard"

Summary?

I don't know if keith was drunk/stoned but I found his pretty performance painful too see (and hear). I guess that a lot of people think that he was really cool but I actually felt embarrassed in his place. I'll probably get slagged off for wrtitng this, but honestly, if you would see/hear a street musician play like Keith did yesterday you would only give him few coins out of compassion, not for his performance. I have serious questions about his health if he wasn't drunk/stoned last night and I have serious questions about his entourage if he was...

Standaard:
Sexy and exciting musical show. Mick's voice was excellent. Much better concert than last time

Thanks.

Thanks for all the reviews so far!
Seems indeed like Keith was not good...let's hope he get's his act together for the next shows!

Summary in English?

Think the review in expressen is pretty much on the line with what's been posted here. Keith had a bad night.

The reviewer stated highlights were CYHMK, Tumblin Dice, Rough Justice and Rocks Off.

Glad to see so many people being satisfied, glad to see enthousiastic Press reviews after a show, during which Keith wasn't at his best. That does comfirm their ability to surmount one night's (only, i hope) weakness of one basic band's member. That's why these old devils are so great. One of the 1,564 reasons...

He, the reporter says they are starting to sound tired, but he´s sure they will pick up. He mentions Keith being drunk. He says Mick does his best, but with a drunken sidekick, it´s not easy.
Also he blames the settings for the gig "A field in Belgium is a field in Belgium, it´s for cows, not the Stones." He says that it more than once sounds really bad, and there are just a few highlights.

Thanks Ville I @#$%& hate the jerk Anders Nunstedt Stupid journalist !!!

Several times there was something wrong with the speakers

Yeah but it seems to be a fact that Keith was really bad last night. To many reports here says so. OK, so he is Keith Richards, but it seems he let a few fans down by being too much Keith Richards this time. That´s bad, concerning what we pay to see a good show.

MAN! I like that set-list a lot. I hope they're still doing it that way by the time they get to Slane and not reverting to "play-it-safe" mode.

Yes, the setlist looks great.

Is it me or is KR turning into an embarrassment?

Its a real shame that he gets pissed up on the first gig of a european tour. I bet MJ was fuming.

The 'pirate' press is starting to go to his head...... along with a few other things....

It's not only you, I already wrote something similar earlier today. I'm pretty sure MJ was fuming and he had all reasons to...

report from the BBC :-

[news.bbc.co.uk]

I just watched at the extracts of the videos. In Some Girls I've the impression that Keith is sometimes out of tune and the solo of Sympathy is the worst ever.
On the contrary the 10 seconds of Ronnie were ok. (I'be also the feeling that Mick's voice was down in comparison with his standard but... how can I say from couple of minutes of these videos?)

I read the comments and see that many of you have complained about Keith last night. Can you tell me something more detailed? Which are the songs where you got the feeling Keith had problems (SFTD apart)? Somebody wrote the SMU intro was one of the best ever... really?

What about Ronnie last night? How did he managed the solo of CYHMK?

Is it true that prices went down from 190 to 65 euros few minutes before the show?

190? From 90 to 65 maybe. But not at the cash register

Satisfaction is a disaster !

I hate it when people feel obliged to make excuses when they are writing what they honestly feel is their opinion. I hate it even more when other people don’t give others room to write what they truly felt.
We all should fee free to express our thoughts and feelings and it helps to inform the other users on this board who were not present to get an idea of what was going on.

Marcovandereeijk is "right on". God forbid if you disagree - like this so-called super set list. Give me a break. MOST are war horses. And KEITH!!!!?????

The setlist was very good. And Keith had an off-night. That's not the first time it happens, especially the first gig is never really smooth!

I second that.

Great setlist for sure. Maybe Keef had an off night. Oh well. It happens to the best of 'em.
