Charlie is so smooth and effortless. From the neck up he looks like he's watching the show and enjoying it. From the neck down he's playing a very difficult drum piece. What a master!
60 Minutes once did a story about Charlie Watts years ago. The interviewer for 60 Minutes was at a horse show and told a few people that a member of the Rolling Stones was in the audience. No one guessed it was Charlie nor did they recognize him. It was that interview where I first learned about Charlie's devotion to his family all those years while the other band members were getting wasted. I also learned that he preferred to be called a jazz drummer in a rock band. He was a class act. Rest in peace, Charlie.
What country and which year did it go out, wonder can it still be seen, gotta love Charlie, I'm a lifelong Stones fan and recorded all the BBC radio tributes to him 2021 August 24th🥁🙏
Thanks Raymesquite, I binge on these Charlie u tube clips every so often, recently seen the Rock n Roll TV documentary mid nineties feat Charlie's wife Shirley R.I.P🙏
Charlie is just great in this performance. As it goes on at the end he keeps cranking it up a little more. Then he throws in the triplets. It's like Ravel's Bolero. You're torn as to whether you want it to go on forever or scream stop, please stop. Great playing. R.I.P. Charlie Watts.
@@clairewatson3868 The funny thing about that is that at the end both Ronnie and Keith are there looking at Charlie, but Charlie isn't looking at them. Charlie is looking past Ronnie and watching Chuck Leavell.
I've seen other aged bands with the original drummer up on a riser and another drummer behind doing all the work. Charlie was 80 and still anchored the best R n R band in the world for a full two and a half hour show.
Charlie is a great example of a jazz drummer turned rock and roll! Playing the rudiments with ease! Jazz is the platform for any drumming style - like Latin for learning languages.
I grew up with The Stones..Paint it black was one of my favorites ones....well after almost 50 years activity (since 1962) they still Rock!!!!!! about how they look,well every wrinkle on their face has a story to tell ...and a very interesting one!! I love it... :)
Dude that guy kept the Stones together , he was the only sober guy back in the day , if they never had his beat they wudder been fucked! I love Charlie!
Always get the chills when I see/hear them do this song, especially live. Beyond belief! By the way, when the song was first released I thought it went "I see a rainbow and I want to paint it black." Not too late to change it, Mick! :) I missed the Pittsburgh show because of a missed flight, but will try to see them in Detroit even if only for this song.
On this day in 1966 {September 11th} the Rolling Stones performed "Paint It Black" on the CBS-TV program 'The Ed Sullivan Show'... Four months earlier on May 14th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; and on June 11th it peaked at #1 {for 2 weeks} and spent 11 weeks on the Top 100... It also reached #1 {for 1 week} on May 26th on the U.K. Singles chart... And on June 13th it once again reached #1 {for 1 week}; this time the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart... R.I.P. Brian Jones {1942 - 1969}.
I WAS HERE! 150,000 people was amazing. Was so overwhelmed at the time I started crying when my favourite song came on Sympathy for the Devil come on I was 11 :L.
I too go to a concert each world tour - next tour I'll go to several. And so what if they've dabbled in drugs etc?! What lives they've led and what a musical legacy for us to enjoy. Simply the greatest.
Charlie nos dejó hace muy poco, se nos fue de nuestra vista pero sus canciones y especialmente su batería resonará por sienpre. Así son los grandes , además el don de Charly ha Sido el regulador del grupo porque primero supo ser un hombre humilde, y los grandes jamás dejarán de serlo ......son inamovibles en ese sentido. Adiós maestro...capo....de siempre y por siempre
This song was on guitar hero World tour, I always enjoyed playing to this song on🎸Guitar & the drums🥁. Sad to hear about 🇬🇧😔Charlie😿♊ Watts though RIP🙍🏼♂️...
