What a great tribute to Charlie Watts! Not only the choice of song, but Charlie's amazing drumming is front and center on this version!!!! Thank you. RIP Charlie Watts.
RIP Charlie. I love how the story about the time he punched Mick Jagger in the face is making the rounds again now. "Don't ever call me YOUR drummer again". Loved this guy. Not my favorite drummer ever, but a hell of a guy, and I think his talent surprisingly gets overlooked a lot considering he was in one of the biggest bands in history.
@@philpennington826 Yeah, heard about it earlier today. Supposedly, Mick called from Keith Richard’s hotel room to Charlie’s hotel room at 5 am, asked why HIS drummer wasn’t there. Charlie dressed in a fancy designer suit, walked down the lobby to Keith’s room and as Mick answered the knock, Charlie punched him squarely in the face. Great story!! RIP Charlie Watts. One of a kind. Timekeeper for 58 years in “the greatest rock and roll band”, a gentleman who preferred jazz.Condolences to his bride of 57 years and the Watts family.
We, the collective appreciation folks of their music, are All painting it black just now. RIP Charlie. The unassuming yet perfect for The Stones drummer extrordinare, and a true gentleman. Feels like changing of the guard 😢
I've loved the Rolling Stones since forever, so sorry to see the loss of Charlie - he was a fabulous drummer. Can't imagine how he can be replaced to any degree. Mick & I are within a month of being the same age, things get a bit dicey after 75.
Painted Black is my all-time favorite song by the Stones. It's the music, the sound, the melody that shoots through me every time I hear it. It is so unique, unworldly. A masterpiece bar none. This performance is wonderful. So interesting to hear it being performed by the statesmen of rock and roll. RIP, Charlie.
Sometimes when I see Charlie at his kit he has a look that seems to say "I still don't believe I get paid to do this " He always seemed so laid-back but a great band isn't great without a great rhythm section. The Rolling Stones had that in spades. RIP Charlie Watts.
Thank you very much Jamel, that news hit me hard, i'm 48 years old and was raised listening to The Rolling Stones, my late father was a HUGE fan and i became one too. I cried yesterday when i heard the news of Charlie's death and made me think alot about my late dad and mom.
I went through a bit of a Stones retrospective a few years ago, really got to appreciate Charlie and Bill Wyman, and what the two quiet ones brought to the band. Charlie was not flashy but damn he made so many unique contributions to so many songs. Half of his genius was the beats that he didn't play. Loved the eye-rolls between Charlie and Bill on stage while the others were cavorting around. It truly does take all kinds...
… dear Jamall thank you for all you do and have done this a long time haven’t been around much lately having recently become ill with MS… that having been said I felt it is essential to single you out for acknowledging recognizing the incomparable irreplaceable heart of the stones Mr. Charlie Watts thank you for everything again…!
This became the theme song of the CBS TV show Tour of Duty about men stationed in Viet Nam. Tour of Duty examined the issues of politics, faith, teamwork, racism, suicide, fragging, terrorism, civilian deaths, sexuality, drug abuse, and how the lives of soldiers and civilians were permanently affected by the Vietnam War.
Tour of duty had a killer soundtrack,well it was just a kick ass show in general but unfortunately the music is all copyrighted and it's all dubbed over with generic music.
@warren3427 it wasnt quite that bad, i think in its own limited way it glossed over some of the issues, yes american propaganda but you can say that about 80 percent of american media it was plastic but i loved it
Charlie always struck me as being very much "his own man". Just doing his thing, focused on that, and the others took care of the "show". Love his 70s look when everyone else had long hair, Charlie had the shortest cut possible! And his passion for stylish tailored clothes. A man of class, reliable, down to earth. He'll be missed badly. Condolences to his colleagues, his family, friends and fans.😢
Charlie was, at heart a jazz lover. You can hear it in the way he's always right there, in the pocket, always driving - like in this song. What a career and life. All the best to his family and friends who must really be feeling this loss.
RIP Charlie Watts. I only had the pleasure of seeing them once, in Memphis in ‘75 for a 4th of July concert. It was amayyyyzing. Gotta add that it was $10 according to my ticket stub. It’s the most expensive concert stub in my collection from the 70s.
Appreciate you Jamel, Charlie Watt's passing is a sad thing for music. As a teen I read that one of his stated influences was Howlin Wolf. I never looked back in terms of how my musical taste and knowledge developed. Music has the power to unite us.
I am so happy I have almost my whole lifetime worth of Rolling Stones music. I did indeed get to see them in concert in Seattle 1981 on their "Tattoo You" Rest in the Eternal White Light Charlie Watts, you have a great group of people you are surrounded by🤗💜🎶✌
I'm 52 and the Stones have been around my entire life. So I know what you mean regarding how eerie it is whenever the camera panned to Watts. We've lost so many icons and National treasures in the last few years. And yes, the Stones are amazing live!
Charlie Watts was always my favorite Rolling Stone.... always the perfect gentleman and a jazz musician to boot. No matter what misadventures the other guys got into, Charlie was a rock. You could count on him to maintain. He knew that real power stems not from constant showing off, but from letting the work speak for itself.
Charlie Watt was the most elegant drummer in rock history. A jazz musician who played with a class-A rock group. He was closer to his heroes, Elvin Jones, Max Roach, and Art Blakey. "Paint It Black" captures the mid-60s Stones at their very best, carried along with Brian Jones' exotic sitar. He will always remain a class act. RIP
Awwwwww Charlie ! I have been a fan of the Stones my whole life . Had the pleasure of seeing them in concert back in 2009 . The music world will not be the same without him. The Stones definitely will never be the same. I have long dread the day that we started to loose these great men. RIP Charlie. 💔
Charlie Watts loved jazz and when he wasn't drumming with the Stones he was drumming with his quintet. I think he was a jazz drummer at heart. What talent!
This vid from 2006...shows that these guys still have #ThePower, even at their advancing ages! Mick was 63 years old here, and Charlie was 65!! And then, of course, as it is rumored that Betty White says: "We all have to think about what kind of world we'll leave behind for Keith Richards."
Almost 80 and he did THAT! Just let that marinate and sink in for a minute. Who else lives to be his age and does what he loves right up til the end? The rest of us can only dream of what that must have been like. RIP Charlie, you deserve it!
I saw the Stones in 2018 in Glendale, AZ. It was the third time I been to a concert and the sound mix was the best ever. One thing stood out that had not been so audible before: Charlie Watts was the soul of the Rolling Stones. He kept up a tremendous drumming pace for 2 1/2 hours and it was astonishing to witness.
This vid is a great find imo. Thanks Jamel for finding and sharing it with us! This concert looked like it could've been in 2019. Charlie certainly rocked right up to the end! What a life and what joy his life brought to 100s of millions of fans spanning decades through his many talents. RIP Mr. Watts
Saw The Stones in concert during their Voodoo Tour. They were amazing! The energy was incredible! RIP Charlie. You were an amazing drummer! I do have to add that I’ve loved The Stones for a very very long time. Brian Jones was my favorite Rolling Stone. He was the first to pass away...so long ago. 😢☮️💔
I am privileged to have seen The Stones twice in concert back in the day. Truly an amazing act. Love the 'Stir of Echoes' reference. Absolutely LOVE that movie and IU always think of it when hearing this song.
I haven't heard the stones live much in 30 yrs or more...my recollection of Micks voice then compared to now tells me his voice has really changed...Wow!...Ty Jamal for the share
Thank you for doing this for Charlie. I've been a Stones fan since I was 10 in 1965. I finally got to one of their concerts in my fifties. They are not the Stones without Charles Watts. R.I.P gentle friend. 🙏🏾❤👵🏿🎵
Paint It Black is one of my fave Rolling Stones tunes. It's the one that feels the most psychedelic and 60s of their songs. I think a lot of people used this kind of vibe but only a few bands really made it their own in their music. Makes me think of the smell of napalm in the morning.
Charlie was about as solid a drummer as can be! He was a real rock. He’ll be missed. I feel it’s the beginning of the end for these old superstars too, unfortunately.
RIP Rolling Stones Charlie Watts. Greatest drummer in history. So professional and classy in his display of skill. Much respect. He is and was a legend in music. Just classy.
Charlie was the consummate professional and was over shadowed by Mick and Keith but that being said, I don't believe he was the greatest drummer in history, no disrespect to Charlie. and his family. R.I.P. Charlie!
@@gregcormier2379 I was admittedly being over dramatic when I said Mr. Watts was best in history. His poised and professional execution of his art was just so impressive. Colored my memory of his performances.
Charlie Watts was a jazz drummer... his beats gave the Rolling Stones that groove and drive which made them extraordinary. And he was the quiet guy in the back who didn't care for fame... but he was an essential member of the Stones. R.I.P. Charlie Watts
Hi Jamel I have had the privilege to see the stones show on three occasions 1978 1989 and 1999 what a thrill the shows were 60000 plus people. You would get those tickets in your hands it was like they were made of gold you cant believe you are going
I have this on their "Greatest Hits of 1969" album. Mom got it for free from Capital Records Club!!! I was 13 yrs. old!!!! Love every song on the album!!!!!!! Giddeeup!!!!
Another iconic song from the late 60s and this one you can hear as the sound track to several movies and documentary's and yes Charlie Watts is showing us why he was the backbone of the group
What great intensity for this song in this performance!!! The quality of Mick's voice is pretty much gone but he can still convincingly sing and communicate. Awesome. The band sounds solid too.
First concert I ever went to was the stones in 74. Man this was always my favorite song by them. Thanks J for the ride back in time. Gods speed Charlie.🙏❤️
Ah, Charlie. Most of the time, just stoic behind the kit, focused on doing his thing and driving the groove. Occasionally, though, you'd see this little wry smile come across his face and a glint in his eye, and you knew he was really having fun. May he rest in peace.
Great song choice for a tribute to Charlie Watts. Another legend gone. I saw them at least 10 years ago live at Madison Square Garden and they were doing 2 nights of shows and I remember the first show got canceled due to Mick being sick but they played the 2nd night and I’m sure Mick still wasn’t feeling well but OMG what a performance they put on and the energy was incredible. Will never forget that night. RIP Charlie
Charlie Watts was a class act, he really was the backbone of the rolling stones. He was an impeccable dresser and a true gentlemen, and married to his wife for 57 years, which is almost unheard of in rock and roll. R.I.P. Charlie.
I got to see them live 3 times Wembley Stadium and British Summertime Hyde Park twice one weekend after the other. Amazing gig to see live, Respect to you paying a lovey tribute. 😎😎😎
Absolutely! So gut-wrenching to see and hear Charlie just pounding the living hell out of it. 😥💔 Not sure if Ronnie's playing electric sitar...? Brian Jones played sitar on the original. ✌😘🎶🎸🔥💖
There is a charity single called "Reaching Out" where Charlie plays drums in what we can certainly call a super-duper-group, accompanying Paul Rodgers (Bad Company) on vocals, Andy Fairweather-Low (Eric Clapton) on acoustic guitar and Brian May (Queen) on his signature electric guitar.... Talking about supergroups, the band SuperHeavy is nothing but a wondrous experience (Mick Jagger, Damian Marley, Dave Stewart of Eurythmics and the BEAUTIFUL and TALENTED Joss Stone...Yep, in capitals)
Thank you very much for the work you do and please continue to enlighten folks that maybe have never heard this music before...we is all humans but we grew up with different music...thanks again for ur efforts!
Charlie, as always, rock solid and holding it all together on a relatively simple 4-piece Gretsch kit that he started using in 1968... just awesome. Thanks for this one Jamel, really clean recording, too.
I love this song. It was the final music in the movie “The Devil’s Advocate” with Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves. But it’s just a great song. RIP Mr Watts.
I've been a Stones fan since I learned how to use the record player in the early 70s when I was about five or six. My parents records were mostly country and western. Somehow a Stones, a Beatles and a CCR record found their way into my folks stack of albums-- I played the Stones record the most. Get Off My Cloud was my favourite.
This concert was about 40 years after the song was recorded but it stilll sounded pretty good. Especially Charlie on the drums. At times you couldn't tell if you were hearing the drums or the bass, they were so in sync.
Mick Jagger accepts that they initially took inspiration from the Turkish song in his interview at Rolling Stones magazine in 1995. Erkin Koray- Bir eylul aksami
I’ve listened to the lyrics repeatedly…and what I’ve concluded is this:: We all have those moments where we’re feeling “darkness” surface from deep within, such as when maybe we’re feeling depressed -these lyrics, these words, put those feelings into the words that we choose not to speak, not to share w/anyone…and that is why I finally believe we can all RELATE to the words in this song and why they resonate so very DEEPLY…..💚👍😱😓🌀❤️🙏🌞❗️❗️
Lovely choice showcasing Charlie. This is from a 2008 Martin Scorsese directed concert film called Shine a Light. It’s the Stones performing at the Beacon Theater in New York. I highly recommend checking it out, even just on your own time. It’s a great show gorgeously shot.
