Tell it like it is Stones Cat! The Stones' act has been pretty well canned for the last 10 years. Chuck and Darryl now provide most of the sound, Keith plays a little and poses, and Ronnie plays even less and poses. It's still entertaining and all that..but Stones shows are now a mass-produced product. Keith's playing is no longer critical to the band's "success" on stage, so in that sense, shows are pretty much bulletproof, and fans go away happy. But gone also is the chance that you might hear something really compelling and memorable, something beyond mere product. I'm glad that many people have found the shows of the last 10 years or so to be great. I guess I just have higher expectations of this band.
