Although thinking about it - if they played an arrangement of GOOMC closer to the original ie a drum intro of a few bars followed by Keith's guitar and the rest joining in - it might have a little more impact. The way they're playing it now - it just kind of starts quite unceremoniously. Having said that - it's just great to see them playing anything again. Roll on Hyde Park!

I understand that a Keyboard gives more flexibility for other kinds of sounds - but

When I saw them open with it at the o2 I felt it lacked the punch that an opener by the Stones should have. Still great of course but think they could have chosen better. Brown Sugar maybe? Personally for me nothing lives up to the opener at my first Stones gig (The drum crescendo of Continental Drift followed by Start me up - at Wembley on the Urban Jungle tour).

First off Taylor rarely, if ever plays slide in open tuning so that requires a more precise execution as you generally stick to playing single strings.

Looking forward to this. Always strikes me though that there's this underlying desperation on the part of CSN (particularly C and N) in relation to Neil Young. Almost like he's the Sun that they all need to revolve around in order to achieve their full potential. Of course they're each great in their own right but I'm sure they'd drop whatever they were doing in a heartbeat if they got a call fro
