13:19 Brief History of Charlie's Career
Thanks for doing this. It is so sad to see another great artist dying. This was a lovely tribute. He was a metronome. I always visualize him with brushes
"you don't try very hard to please me. With what you know it should be easy" a compliment...or you know , something else? Pretty sure it flew straight over ed Sullivan's head. 😂😁🤣
Very good summary.. 👍
so, would it be fair to call Charlie Watts ‘a Zen drummer’ ? (gotta ask about those lyrics…is that a threat or a promise, Mick…?!) Mad High on the Adorable Meter = Charlie Watts smiling when he sees himself on the monitor,mad respect to Charlie for setting up SRV w/The R/S, Inc., at the Danceteria, saying, ‘let’s sign this guy, SRV’.
Great review wings.
Charlie always seemed more dapper and reserved. He definitely was a class act and was a master at his craft. Thank you for featuring him.
High level on the ‘adorable meter’Charlie Watts smiling when he sees himself on the monitor, and Mad Respect for being the steady unruffled engine of the band, and specifically for hearing SRV, and saying, ‘let’s sign these guys’ which caused the Danceteria.’ ❤ *Charlie was right, he knew*
I am heartbroken. I knew he was ill and 80 years old, but it is still hard to lose such a beautiful human being. Thank you, Fil.
I've followed the Stones from the jump. How was Watts "such a beautiful human being"?
@@danielfronc4304 If you have to ask, no explanation will suffice.
@@danielfronc4304 I've seen them 20 times. Starting with $10.00 tickets up to $214.oo ever since day one. I say that because he was a gentleman and I have seen many videos of his jazz bands and orchestra. And because he raised horses , loved jazz and was also such a snappy dresser. I have watched every interview and impressed by his humility. Thanks for asking. Peace.
@@danielfronc4304-He wasn't.
He was. He was the Quiet Stone
Jagger: 'Where's my drummer?'
Watts: 'I'm not your drummer, you're my singer'
@@oldermusiclover there is much more to their decades together than that 1 little episode
Happened at a hotel during the Undercover concert tour. Mick was drunk calling Charlie from the lobby.
it was my understanding that Mick also got a smack in the mouth.
Thank you for featuring him. Charlie was the backbone of the Stones and we are going to miss him forever. A tremendous loss.
Charlie was a clock you could set your watch to. He should be the man to study if you want to play drums.
RIP Charlie
I've always said you can set your watch to a Charlie Watts drum track. Impeccable timekeeping.
Hey Fil!!❤ Good evening. Thanks for featuring Charlie Watts. RIP!! We're sadly losing the legrnds 😔. At least we'll always have their music!! They were so young here lol.
Charlie Watts was right. Jagger was his f-ing singer. R.I.P. and thanks for all the great music.
Excellent tribute Fil. Thank you as well.
There's a new addition to God's jazz ensemble tonight. Rest easy,Charlie.🦋
They're dropping like flies now, unfortunately. I wonder who'ii be next in the next few days.
It is a riot seeing Jagger in a suit jacket, plaid shirt and matching tie.Also, Tina Turner hadn't gotten to him yet and taught him how to move and perform properly on stage (" ie. to "move like Jagger").. He looks like a male Linda Ronstadt.
What a wonderful 80 years Watts had. Rock stardom and playing jazz on the side.
I listened to the Charlie Watts Quartet..................totally fantastic
Amen to that xxx
They looked so young & innocent then; but you can hear the raw talent;)
Love the way Charlie was positioned so he could be in front of the camera versus being hidden away in the back. Charlie grew up listening to Jazz which he always preferred over rock. When he joined the band he wasn’t expecting it to last very long which is so ironic considering their longevity. Supposedly his wife didn’t approve of him having a drum kit at home and evidently Charlie knew how to make his wife happy since they were married for almost 57 years. So Charlie not only kept the beat for the band but was also steady in his domestic life.
you must have known him very well LOL
Charlie rocked
Good point!
@@errorsofmodernism9715 It is on many of his interviews so straight from the horses mouth so to speak.
Rock In Paradise Charlie , love & miss him
You did Charlie Watts justice and described him and his career with sincerity, well done, and much appreciated.
Found myself (unexpectedly) tearing up for the first time since I was a kid when I heard that Charlie had died. Immediately pulled out "Get Yer Ya Yas Out" (best live LP ever) and enjoyed Charlie's performance on that release. It's amazing.
Great analysis of what made the Stones so good as a live band -- the bass and drums were perfect and built the sound upon which everything else depended. A great loss.
"They'll be back." Ed didn't look any too happy about that!!! Charlie Watts always seemed like the calm in the center of the storm. He always appeared to be so very normal for a rock star. A genuinely lovely man who will be greatly missed.
I always loved the way Charlie looked when he was playing. Sort of like the Cheshire cat with his little smile. He seemed to know something the rest of us didn't. R.I.P.
I always felt the same way. Love that smile. My favorite Rolling Stone. RiP
@@carlathedestructor2454 my coworker, who’s only 32 years old, said she always had a crush on Charlie. I’m glad she got to see them in concert a couple of years ago. Sadly, I haven’t….I was supposed to see them last year in May, but it was postponed due to Covid. It’s supposedly rescheduled for November but there’s a chance that they may cancel the rest of the tour altogether. Who knows.
Thanks for that comment John - that is the best description of Charlie I have seen yet, and I am watching all the tributes with a heavy heart.
He did… know 😂
As a drummer myself, I always loved his cool style.
What a wonderful time for music! Sad that we're losing so many great performers. Thanks Fil for helping keep those memories alive.
It was an amazing time for rock n roll. Never to be repeated, sadly.
@@Rock_Girl_Daze It was an amazing time for all creative genres especially with the amazing soundtrack provided by 50's rock pioneers up through British Invasion & huge American band breakout that ensued.
One of the rare times I've seen CW cracking a genuine smile while performing. Watts was the locomotive that drove the Stones. Sure they can get another drummer, but it won't be the same. RIP Charlie Watts you will be so missed.
i saw charlie in nyc with his jazz band playing at the bluenote twice in the 90's. the first time keith was there and i was standing right next to keith. the second time we were sitting right in front of the stage and when charlie was walking down the steps from the stage he almost fell and we were right there to catch him just in case lol
What an awesome memory! ♥️
One of the times I saw them live, Mick introduced everyone at the end of the show. When he said "Charlie Watts" the place went absolutely nuts. Probably the longest ovation I've ever seen. He just kept nodding his head and saying "Thank you".
Charlie was a pro in the use of the high hat and snare. Listen to “Beast of Burden” on the Some Girls album. Charlie’s drums are at the forefront and no one in the band can pull off what they’re doing without Charlie’s absolute precision. He nailed it and it’s the reason it’s a great song. And it’s just one example as you well know. Thanks for the tribute. RIP Charlie.
WELL said!
Great example Mitch; Some Girls showcases his style in every way, a Stones classic.... 👍🥁
@@cindypowers4993 Yeah, He gave Shattered a great swing!
It's the eighths and the sixteenths that give it the swing. And you know where those are located?
No - the song would be a great song regardless who was playing drums.
You can see they all enjoyed playing. They were loose and spot on. Such a great bluesy tune.
Thanks for the video
Why would anyone Dislike this Video featuring Charlie ..Great Drummer..Kool Kat..Nice Dude..Keith said the Stones are still going to tour the USA this year....thanks Fil
It's going to be weird not seeing Charlie at the drums.
Hi Mark...glad to see you, even if I feel so sad. Not sure why Charlie's death has hit me so hard. But I am still kind of choked up.
@@lynndow3185 Hello Friend..I remember vividly Charlie at Arrowhead in 2015..being introduced..and Mick put a Kansas City Royals cap on his head
@@mevrammcoyoteV8f150 oh, that is so cool!! Cheers me right up! Thanks, Mark!
Well said Mark👍
Fil I just want to throw out there how much respect I and so many others have for you for all you do including paying tribute to so many greats that have passed etc you are one of a kind and you are destined for great things . Just keep doing what you are doing you are HIGHLY respected by SOOOOO MANY ❤️💯
Thanks!
Well said. And totally true.
@@wingsofpegasus Truly I learn a lot from you....my parents were musicians and I played piano-I love music but no talent, good ear though. It's really educational and a refresher for those of us that love the core basics of great music.
Fil...just want to you, watching you and your face during this performance was the best part. So easy to see how much you appreciate it all. Thanks for sharing
@@wingsofpegasus When Ed Sullivan died how could they tell?
Charlie actually smiled a couple of times! Amazing! I always loved his deadpan expressions. Such a great musician. Love the analysis as always!
Charlie didn't smile much, but when he did it was pure gold. Charlie I hope you're smiling now, seeing this outpouring of love from your fans.
The reluctant Rockstar charlie watts a unmistakable groove never liked the limelight but graciously accepted it when mick jagger would introduce him on stage at the beginning of live shows and on his birthday mick would sing happy birthday to charlie if they were doing a live show on that day. Even at 80 charlie was still tight as ever kept it simple in the pocket nothing crazy
Charlie always got the biggest ovations when i seen 'em!
Thanks Fil. Grew up with these boys, and yes, they are the soundtrack to my life. Charlie was Rock Solid, always. I’m still crushed, shattered...no Charlie, no Stones 😢 . I’ve attended concerts in USA, Canada and South America, and can say every tour was an amazing experience. I hope the upcoming tour gets on alright....there’s gonna be a lot of tears. RIP Charlie 🥁❤️ . Grateful to have been graced with your presence.
“Charlie’s good tonight, ain’t he!” Mick
I didn’t know much about Charlie, but hats off for his marriage. Probably one of the longest in rock history.
@Sasha Taylor Apparently not! He said he absolutely hated being literally chased down the street by hordes of screaming, hormone overridden women. It sounds like he was faithful to his wife and liked it that way. He would sketch the interior of every hotel room he stayed in during their tours. It was a habit he never gave up, no doubt a holdover from his early years as a commercial artist. He loved spending time on his horse farm with his dogs and just sitting in his numerous fancy cars which he had no license to drive and never did. Really, he was a bit of an odd-ball in the world of rock and roll and the Rolling Stones in particular.
that, and living to 80(Chuck Berry's '90 will be tough to beat) in R&R, is unusual. congratulations, CW. you were your own man, and as FIL demonstrates here, just the picture of reliability in a band.
Sweet that you chose such an early one... Charlie hadn't perfected his absolutely straight face quite yet! Lovely tribute. Thank you.
I agree, Lynn! He hadn't quite perfected his straight face--it was nice to see him smile, as it was the others. (Though I liked Watts' later cool demeanor, too.)
@@virginia3619 I loved those rare smiles in the later years even more, because they WERE so rare. But, they were there!
I think Phil has shown a very early video of the Beatles too, which had some very good footage of Ringo Starr killing it. Phyllis certainly very respectful of all true artists.
@@9ZERO6 I loved the early days with Ringo. He always smiled and looked like he was having so much fun, he was so adorable. 💕
@@lynndow3185 You're right!
RIP Charlie. You left the world a cheerier place. Good show Fil :-)
I saw the Stones when "Satisfaction" was still a number one hit on the radio....Bill, Bryan, MIck, Keith and Charlie....what a sound!
Citizen K
I got Laid for the 1st time with Satisfaction being played on the Radio. :-)
@@stevenwiederholt7000 so it wasn't true that you couldn't get no satisfaction?
me too and in 1972
Saw the original line-up July1, 1966 on Steel Pier, Atlantic City, in the Marina Ballroom next to the diving horse!
Charlie - the most applauded Stone in São Paulo - Brazil 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks so much Fil. As someone who grew up in the 60s this one was really really rough to deal with. I'm terrified of what's coming in the next 5 years. We've just lost so many. Charlie didn't say much, but then again he did with his sticks. One of a kind.
I was 9, snuck into my older sisters room and listened to her records. Then I heard the opening to Honky Tonk woman. It blew me away so much, I listened to it over and over again for an hour.
The main riff to Honkey Tonk Women reportedly came from Ry Cooder who played slide guitar on "Sister Morphine" for the Sticky Fingers album.
Absolutely. Charlie out did himself, on that jam. Of course he was steady, always in the pocket, regardless of the jam.
I was 6 in 1967 and she had High Tides and Green Grass and Rubber Soul and Blond on Blond. I used to lay on her floor colouring. Even at 60 when I hear Norwegian Wood I smell Crayola crayons. Lol no sh-t.
My older sister , that is.
And I wanted Mod clothes like Brian red cords. Lol
Thank you Fil. Charlie was a part of one of the greatest rock bands of all time. A class act. I was so heartbroken to hear of his passing. I love your choice of performance! What an amazing career! RIP Charlie🤘💔
Thank you for sharing I just turned 60 got my first Stones album when I was 9 my neighbor gave it to me been to 99 shows over 45 years Charlie played all of them ❤️ RIP Charlie 💔
I took Charlie's death really hard.
As a huge lifelong Stone's fan, there wasn't a day that went by that I didn't listen to the Stones.
He was a large part of the soundtrack of my life.
I haven't felt this bad since Prince died.
RIP CR
Me too.
Same tom petty and princes deaths both hit hard so has charlies rip all are and will be missed
David Bowie was hard too!
Indeed the Greatest Musicians to Ever Walk this Planet. The ROLLING STONES💯
Same😥
Rip Charlie...he had that crisp pop on that snare..all done smooth and without force
I remember seeing this on my parents old black and white TV.. I also remember their comments.. R.I.P. Charlie..
Been listening to a lot of Stones the last few days, and something that really stands out is just how amazing Charlie's tone is. His drums always sounded so incredible, live or studio recorded.
I’m 100% with you.
That hi hat on 'Emotional Rescue' ,the title song...the drums on the second half of 'Can you hear me knocking?' , the list goes on. Top stuff.
@@MisterTMH Love the way Charlie ends "Can't You....Knocking" with that light cymbal.
agreed his snare is amazing, even up until his last performances in 2019
Great video, my old neighbor from down the road in Kingsbury town Charlie Watts, the man with the smallest drum kite in great rocking music history, I was once told that the reason why Charlie played and toured with such a small drum kit was with the savings Charlie had more money to buy more very fine suits also he could have more wardrobe space when on tour
What’s so great about this channel and these analyses is the wide range of info Fil gets into. Much more than just guitar playing. He covers SO MUCH! What I like so much is that he has a huge appeal to the younger generation who will be so much more educated in the wide world of music. This guy is truly one of a kind.
Thanks!
Amen Fil is the best I've heard doing this & one hell of a musician! Peace, M.A.
I did see the Stones live in Seattle 1975.. One of the best concerts ever..
nice tribute to a rock and roll great!!
So sad that such a icon has passed. This was a beautiful tribute.
I saw the Rolling Stones live in 1997. I won 2 prime tickets. I was very close to the mini stage. I've been a big fan of the Rolling Stones since the 1970s. My dad, (who turned 91 this month), told me that the Rolling Stones were garbage. Later on, my dad said to me he saw the Rolling Stones on TV. I asked my dad how they were. My dad said they were good. I think Charlie Watts is the backbone and the back beat of the Rolling Stones. Thanks for sharing this analysis video. May Brian Jones, Ian Stewart, and Charlie Watts rest in peace. Cheers, Fil! ✌️
Hearing Keith’s voice before it was wrecked is so cool. And Brain with the tear drop Vox. I miss my youth…
wrecked from heavy smoking....
@@casaraku1 And drinkin
@@oldermusiclover yeah but Keith didnt look 65 at 30. It was really after the brain surgery he suddenly aged, which was around the time he was...65! (Almost - 2006 or 2007)
Great drummer!
Great guy!
I will never forget that day on Ed Sullivan. I was 14 years old ! Us kids were soooo thrilled !
✨Charlie Watts✨
Rest in peace 🥁🖤
Thanks, Fil!
Thank you for the background and critique of Charlie Watts. One of the greats - RIP Charlie Watts.
Bummer, another one gone. I liked seeing him at the beginning--so fresh and loose and free. I also appreciated hearing about his beginnings contextualized in the war, which marked so many English artists of his generation. Thank you! Peace.
Always love the Brian Jones era of the Rolling Stones, after all he was the founder as you know. excellent rundown on this performance. Charlie You where an impeccable dresser. Drum on in Peace Charlie Watts in the afterlife with your old bandmate Brian Jones.
Three stones drum songs, among many, Beast of Burden, Honky Tonk Women, and Start Me Up. I’m always amazed during the last 30 seconds of Start Me Up how incredible the drums and bass are.
Rip This Joint; Soul Survivor also...
ROCK SOLID is right! Couldn’t stop saying it in my tribute video.
We will miss this unassuming legend Charlie watts❤️❤️
Love Charlie. Great player, great guy.
Charlie Watts was never the most flashy drummer. He wasn't known for the frenzied solos of Cream's Ginger Baker, or for placing explosives in his kick drum like The Who's Keith Moon. Instead, he was the subtle, stoic heartbeat of Rolling Stones for almost 60 years. With Bill Wyman and Keith Richards forged some of rock’s deepest grooves on “Honky Tonk Women,” “Brown Sugar” and other songs, for example.We all fans here in Brazil will miss Charlie 🇧🇷
Omg- so young! You would love watching them follow James Brown from the TAMI Show in ‘66!
People talk a lot of trash about Charlie and Ringo Starr saying that they aren't very good drummers. We all know that they were the perfect drummers for their band at that time.
They were the absolute perfect drummers. Most of the haters try to compare them to the modern drummers and get confused. They will see the light one day. I know I did.
This could be a sad case of mistaking flash for chops. Charlie Watts, Richie Hayward (Little Feat), Frank Beard, and the Allman Brothers drummers mainly stuck to the job of driving the band, and they did it so well. They didn't have to twirl their drumsticks.
Funny how haters can never name a song these "average" drummers got wrong
Any person that says Charlie wasn't a great drummer is either ignorant or hasn't listened to the Stones' catalog. He was a splendid, tasteful musician and fine human being.
@@edthesecond don't forget Phil rudd of acdc...nothing really fancy just trudging along great drumming
They sure look young in that video. Such good memories! One of their best songs ever!!!
The distinguished gentleman rock star. Thanks for the tribute to Mr. Watts.
Fil, your smile is so beautiful, when you are listening to the music from my generation. You describe everything so well I can understand it. Thanks for doing these oldies. ❤️🌹❤️
Charlie also played with such nice posture. He's very relaxed, sitting up straight with his shoulders free and easy, not hunched over the kit like a caveman. He gets all the power he needs from the elbows to the fingertips. He learned well from watching his jazz drumming heroes.
If you notice he holds his snare stick with palms up...that's how jazz drummers hold the stick...most drummers hold the snare stick palms down...that kinda shows his Genius to incorporate jazz techniques with rock music...talk about chemistry
We will all miss you Charlie, I feel fortunate to have seen you with the Stones performing at the LA Colosium. R.I.P.
The Rolling Stones’ first US album release “Out Of Our Heads” was my first LP purchase, in mono, earning a fan for life. I was only 8 but its deep, swampy groove turned my ear inside out, guiding my guitar playing for years. I was too young to realize the source of my wonder was Charlie Watts’ drumming. Winding the clock forward 26 years brought me the incredible opportunity to work with my idols, recording the Flashpoint album on the Steel Wheels tour. A planning meeting with Mick and Keith was a bit surreal, proving who’s band it really was. I was quietly taking notes as they both spoke of their needs when Mick uttered the unforgettable words “you ‘ave done this before, mate?!” I guess I was playing it a little too cool? He was the micromanager of the Stones in a way I could not have imagined, walking a good half mile around the stadium each day to check the sound system coverage. Both before and after, I can’t recall any other front man/singer ever doing that. He ran the sound check rehearsals to a tight plan, telling me, invisible in the remote truck, exactly what to do during soundchecks; again, unusual to say the least and surprising at the time. Keith, Ronnie and Bobby Keys took full advantage of Mick’s total control, cutting loose well before the sun set.
The first afternoon in Jacksonville, I couldn’t help but solo Charlie’s right foot. Not to work on the sound as I might normally, but just to marvel at it. I’ve never before or since heard anyone’s bass drum sound like his. Rich in tone, with a perfect booming sustain, and literally, flawlessly exact dynamically, it was music all by itself. How he could be so perfectly nuanced, never crushing it, with his bass drum and swing the snare and hat so groovily - well, that will always be the Charlie Watts mystery, and arguably the most important single sound in the band’s success. How could The Rolling Stones NOT become stars with that masterful groove behind them?
I know they are solid with the superb Steve Jordan, but honestly I hope they take the example of Led Zeppelin and just call it a night. There can never be ‘The Stones’ without the phenomenal Charlie Watts. Rest In Peace, dear brother Charlie.
Charlie was there to do a job, not to make a spectacle of himself. Same goes for Bill Wyman.
Same goes for Mick Taylor.
True, but both were/are impeccable musicians and to be a pro musician one must love his craft.
Charlie stuck it out til the end.
Dunkirk Spirit!
Charlie Watts is my favorite drummer. I didn't appreciate him until somebody told me that what made him so incredibly special was that
"If he played any slower he'd be late." And I really started to listen to him. Charlie made it all the way around the planet with a 5 piece set.
Working for one of the biggest bands ever. Thank you Charlie.
Thank you twice.
That’s IT !!! “ if he played any slower he’d be late “. Never could figure out his magic til you wrote that ! TY
@@dianecourtney2724 I didn't either and I was sitting in a recording studio and my master pointed it out. That little hesitation makes sure you listen for it. He's also very precise and accurate. Charlie doesn't overwork it. Even up-tempo he's laid back. People always talk about how somebody rides the beat. There's right on top of it, there's a little ahead of it, there's a little behind it.
All three are still considered on time.
"If he played any slower he'd be late."
Marlon Brando does it in acting where he makes you wait for the line. It's that moment of anticipation that gets your attention. Are you ready to hear what I have to say Then he says it. Don't kiss her until she's ready to be kissed. Thank you Charlie.
Thank you for not being obvious.
I would go as far as to say fashionably late- subtle.
Thanks again Eric … I agree on all ( Marlon too 😂) So exhausting how slammed in my face everything is today. True talent can simply relax and breathe . If it’s there it’s there and if you must just scream louder … plz just go elsewhere.
@@dianecourtney2724 Let It Bleed
Monkey Man- it's a timepiece.
It cannot be understated that accurate timing (not speeding up or slowing down) makes or breaks a song. Charlie's drumming had this quality
A great tribute to the late , great Charlie Watts , the guitar explanation , and Charlies analysis was most informative.cheers!
I love the Stones, and I love this song, one of my favorite Stones song!... And RIP Charlie Watts!... 🥁🙏⭐
RIP Charlie 🙏........👍👍✌🤘
Sad to know Charlie has gone but the memory of him and the Stones will go on. I was a lucky guy and got to see them live back in 1989 in Toronto. On that date all of the band were on point and put on an excellent show that I'll never forget! The Stones were very professional and you could hear it in their live sets. The Last Time for me is a favorite of mine along with Tell Me for their 1964 numbers and so many others afterwards in the years since .Rock!!!
I saw them twice in '81 & they were in peak form. Hearing Keef play & sing Little T & A was priceless! $15 ticket was only obtainable by mail. I got one for first Orlando show & returned next day to just listen from park outside Tangerine Bowl. Stones found out that scalpers scooped up much of the sold out mail in tix & so they released a ton of $15 tickets day before 2nd show for the fans. A scalper just handed me a ticket & said enjoy the concert so I enjoyed them again for free! Got a couple great pics!
@@stevehill766 The '81 Tour is when we experienced Stones-Mania it seemed. I saw them in Sir Morgan's Cove in Worcester, MA as Blue Monday and the Cockroaches.. I burrowed my way to the stage after my cousin, who was a cop, let me in once the show started. They were giving tickets away throughout the city during the day and two friends of mine were given tix by Ian Stewart. My ears rang until the next day.
Thanks so much! Charlie Watts was one of the greats. RIP Charlie Watts 😢💖🥁🎸🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Only got to see them twice..in the late 70's early 80's. Once with ZZ Top.
Charlie was such a relentlessly consistent metronome. They kept him loud so that if the rest of the band fked up..he would cover.
"I'm not your bloody drummer..your my bloody singer!"
Beautiful tribute to a legend 👏
We will miss Charlie, the calm Stone 💕🕊💕🕊💕
You're bringing back memories of my youth here, a youth that definitely wasn't misspent enough! Thanks Fil and R.I.P Charlie.
Rest in peace Charlie, thanks for doing this Fil it's a great tribute. This is one of my favorite Rolling Stones songs!! I always prefer to hear The
Rolling Stones the way I first heard them on the AM radio mono of course..
Thank you Fil for covering Charlie. I really loved a lot of the Stones older work from the 60s, some 70s, and the Emotional Rescue album from 1980. I was supposed to see them in concert in May 2020, but it was postponed because of Covid. I’ve never seen them in concert before either. May he Rest In Peace.
Edit: and thank you so much for choosing this is song. It’s probably my favorite Stones song from their early days. ♥️
I actually liked it as much as Satisfaction. There I've said it 😊
Following his initial surgery for cancer, Charlie Watts once remarked, "The guys putting our gear together onstage could do what I do." Hardly, Charlie -- you were always a humble and wonderful guy as well as an amazing drummer. You are missed. Rest in peace, Charlie. Brian (RIP) Thanks FIL.
They could play most, but they would not know what to play and how without the work he did before.
@@krollpeter -- Precisely.
Ed Sullivan gave exposure to the best bands and artists and his contributions to thier fame must never be forgotten.
I had no idea that Charlie designed sets! What a talented man!
i see the joy in your face just like me they are the best watts will be missed .badass boys !love it and im 68 never tired of stonesrip watts
Good Job
thanks for the documentary of Charlie Watts
...I have always enjoyed his 'brushes' album
...He was 'The Pro from Dover' drummer/artist
Great vintage vid of the Stones and so sad to hear of Charlie’s passing. He was an integral part of the Stones laying down the best with precision. Rock in Peace Charlie! ❤️
I remember when the Stones were on the Sullivan show. Such a great memory. Charlie was one of a kind. A jazz drummer. The Stones could swing because of Charlie. He was their foundation. RIP CW
Like Ringo, Charlie always had those fills that were all his own - the second you heard one, you knew it was Charlie Watts. RIP, Charlie. Godspeed.
I'm so glad you chose to talk about the MOST underrated drummer in history. The man was a "tap-tap" KING!! Stays out of the way and IS the pocket. Good stuff, My man.
Mick had stage presence from DAY 1.
Charlie was amazing 👏👏👏I saw the Stones live 17 October 1973 at Vorst National in Brussels (Brussels Affair) with Billy Preston on keyboards, Trevor Lawrence on saxophone, Steve Madaio on trumpet and Mick Taylor on lead and slide……the Stones at their finest….great memories 😎🥂
Great show!!!!👏👏👏👏🎸🎸🎸👍👍👍👍👍 No more words!!!👊🤟
And there you have it Fil. No words needed...
Charlie was my favorite stone. Since day one when I first heard them waay back in the day it's always been steady headed Charlie Watts. Silent and calm.
Charlie was the best...his way of playing the drums, it was simple and complicated at the same time...he left his signature on every beat...I love his way of playing...will be sorely missed... the heavens are feasting for him...
Whoa ! Only Fil could present such an outstanding tribute to Charlie!!
Ed Sullivan still, makes me nervous lol🤪
Music meant so much in Watts time, and he meant so much to music. What a great life.
Thank you Fil for your kind tribute to the one and only CHARLIE WATTS!
Nice tribute to Charlie and the whole band. Thanks Fil.
Nice tribute to Charlie Fil. He was indeed a solid drummer. Sadly another rock fixture & legend gone. I loved the Rolling Stones of the 60s and 70s. Thanks for a Great analysis Fil. 🎼🎵🎶🇨🇦
