What a waste of talent! But I cannot blame him.
The Stones have basically turned into a sad carnival freak show. Anyone with
any musical sensitivity could hear all the guitar errors and missed notes...
The only reason to watch them now is to witness how a 62 year skinny guy can
still prance around the stage... They should have done what Jerome Bettis
did, quit while they are on top... But that would have been 20 years ago...

Hi All,
I was thinking about the Stones performance, and all of the comments here
on the list.
Chuck Leavell is clearly a consummate keyboard player, and with a track
record of contributions to the music world. And on the one hand, he plays
with the ROLLING STONES, the arguably "greatest rock-and-roll band of all
time." To sold out shows, every time.
On the other hand, he plays with the ROLLING STONES, who got where they
are on the back of the electric guitar. In 90% of the songs, it doesn't
matter *where* he is in the mix. In another 5%, it barely does. Clearly,
nothing keyboard-heavy is going to show up in a ten-minute barn-burner set
like the Superbowl set, and even a 30-minute set is going to be light on
keys. Maybe, "You Can't Always Get What You Want"; I can't think of
anything else guaranteed to make the list. Maybe it would have been
different with Brian Jones still in the mix?
It's got to be the best and worst gig in the world ...
Regards,
-BW
