Meet and greet was ca 19.30-20.00. The show started ca 21.45.

>> I´m probably more confused than anyone right now. <<

thank you for responding, Vilhelm honey - i'm really really hoping some clarity will be available soon,
because as it is ... saying Keith was "ODing on alcohol" about 90 minutes before the gig
is real far from funny, and also (judging from what everyone else witnessed at the show)
real far from credible, responsible, cool and/or other good things one is accustomed to expecting from Ove T.

"my friend my friend"

I have no way of knowing whether Keith was pissed or not, but from a performance point of view I didn't hear a bad note from him, or anybody else, throughout the entire concert.

Clearly he's struggling at times, and poses as much as he plays, needing others to fill in for him from time to time, more likely he's suffering from the arthritis rather than the alcohol.

Had a great weekend in Gothenburg.

thanks for the translation
painful as it is

Looks like Blondie says keith had an off day, as to wheather that is because of drink, who knows.

"Gothenburg show, which he admitted was crap as Keith had a off-day (he said so)".

I personally would not describe what I heard as crap and I was stone cold sobre during the show.

Thanks for your nice message Harlix. Here's more samples:
My website MAGICAL BEATLE TOURS at www.magicalbeatletours.com is now updated with 75(!) BEAUTIFUL PICTURES FROM THE ROLLING STONES AT ULLEVI STADIUM, GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN, FRIDAY 3rd, 2007.

We got fantastic places at the fence, right in front of the B-stage. A little to the right - KEITH's side - our hero! Also great photos from the Main Stage. I wonder if you have ever seen so beautiful amateur photos!

Also 30 great pictures from the RONNIE WOOD ART SHOW at Galleri Viktoria, Gothenburg Sweden.

And what about THE BEATLES?! Well, they are my heroes as well! Take a look at the website!
Here's some samples:















Enjoy the website!

The Ove T-"affair"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~¨

Crucial here is the translation and the interpretation
plus the use of info by the hungry tabloid Expressen.
Talked to Ove yesterday nite, he is devastated
how his words has been twisted and exaggerated
by his former employer (thou he was never a writing labor man
on the paper, he had other duties) the tabloid.
When demanding a denial; they just, basicaly, laugh him off
("who'd care about that?". He said drunk, not totally sober,
a little unsteady on his legs; but not "dead drunk".

I want to dig deeper in this before I say much more.
One thing is perfectly clear: Ove T would never do
nor say anything on purpose that was intented to hurt his life-long
m e n t o r , as Ove titels Keith.
Bad luck, no incoming big headline news,
the big time tabloid bosses blew up it out off proportions
and made up a story. "And the rest is history". At least two human beings
and a whole musical trust is hurt thou: Ove, Keith & the whole
management, record company etc.

As we can see above, Sohoe and lots of lots of others stood
close by Keith and could not see any sign of anything which could
have been influencing his playing. He was normally drunk, as I got it.
No big deal.

I can see o n e good thing evolving from this: the lads did shape up
even more after the media-bashing, and they have now reached a day form
which exceeds most of what we have seen sofar; I really envy all of you who'
re going to Hamburg & 02. And I sure hope for a US tour next year.

NOTE on Ove: He met the Stones back in 1965, 1966, 1967; had them in
his own home in 1970, and so on. He wrote a book "Stones in Sweden".
Keith has referred to Ove as "My rock 'n roll friend in Sweden".
I have myself interviewed Ove for hour and hours for radio shows.

In Gothenburg it's been a great concert: Mick was on fire and Keith was really really good. This is what I saw and heard. They kicked ass!!!

All reports except 1-2 tabloids indicate the same thing
as ya say, W Slivowitz!
Now just hope the trash press can make up things:
Some arrangements like a free Stones-concert arranged by Expressen?
