We love you Charley. Rest well my friend.

Yes: "No one can replace you, you will always be the drummer for the Stones." But they have a competent professional playing drums there, chosen by Charlie himself, who has played with the band and has played with Keith Richards for a long time: and professional musicians, they play what needs to be played. You must respect the choice of the band and especially the great musician who is Steve Jordan. As for Watts' moral presence, this is another conversation. And the show has to go on.

I totally get what you're saying and I have seen the Stones all the since I was a kid, in 1994. And I've seen Charlie many times, and I truly do miss him. But Steve Jordan was selected by Charlie himself, and Charlie and Steve were close friends. I saw the Stones again, twice, in Los Angeles on October 14th and October 17th, 2021 (one great ticket, one almost nose bleed ticket, but hey fine by me!). I also saw them in 2019 at the Rose Bowl (videos in my profile), and that was the last time I saw Charlie on stage. And they still sound damn good. A bit different without Charlie, but still damn good. And I love Steve Jordan. Big shoes to fill, but it was Charlie's wish. And if they want to continue and have fun, I won't stop them. I do wish the tickets were a tad bit cheaper, but they are pretty comparable to other bands. I did score a lucky dip ticket for one show ($30 a ticket). Oh, Mick, Keith and Ronnie were bouncing around the stage. Mick was walking backwards and running like crazy... while singing... I'm like wtf... I wish I'm in that good of shape when I'm 78.

Oh do zip your lip

@@joycecosta3236 Precisely! the show has to go on and after all "its only Rock n' roll!!!!!!!"

Nothing better than stones concerts!

They were honestly best when all on smack …

Fuck an A

Mick and Kieft were the ice and drink, mick Taylor was the straw😎

Saw them at the civic arena in Pittsburgh 1972 tour! It was love at first sight. Every concert is an amazing event. Always an unforgettable time of my time.

C est vraiment juste ça restera les meilleurs

Also Hendrix burning guitar at Monterey???

Agreed

I agree 😍

Absolutely. Without a doubt

🖤👏💛💙❤✌

Greatest Rock and Roll BAND and still licking it up 59 year's, survived every generational culture trend while writing thier own rules and breaking all conventional norms .

Not quite , led zeppelin are miles above them

@@timrobinson100 well there ain't no other band or individual that stuck with it & dedicated their talent & time for 60 years. Give credit where credit is due. ✌️❤️🤘

The rolling stones are 60 yrs in. They have been ranked the number one band in the world 🌎! No one will ever pass them!

Yes! kind regards from Berlin :-)

the best

Charlie was and Always Will B The Heartbeat of The Rolling Stones... I think The Last Tour Should B The "Last Time" as the band will never b the same without Charlie.. peace

Jagger stole the show, now he's alone

I got to shows in every decade since 70s,eighties definently the most entertaining .the opening acts they had were equally talented imho.💥 🙃💥 💧

Fuckn right!!

@н ннёёнееее5инёненнееёнр55

Yeah, in mine too!

I'm a huge Stones fan and they are the Michael Jordan or rock bands. The Stones are #1. But I think Aerosmith is the Kobe Bryant of rock bands, and Steve Tyler is an even better front man than Mic, and I've seen them both live.

….I Love Him, Freddie and Robert plant probably the most for bands. I Love George Micheals voice the best though

You Bet; love Mick and his moves!!💖

and now at 80 years old , NO ONE moves like him at that age i mean i would think he would be just worn out but he keeps in shape so he isnt a fool up there

Me, too! Great! I love this version of "you can't always get what you want". The best i ever heard!

well said. My sentiments exactly

That's the stone cold truth right there. Absolutely kick ass playing.

Charlie didn't play drums on you can't always get what you want. Yes he played it live, but he didn't play on the record or come up with the beat and fills

@@mattiemclean9882 - It's not the same This version is better than the record.

Se puede apreciar con claridad los recursos que provienen del jazz en la manera en que Charly Watts utiliza el Hi hat... excelente..

On the solos miss another Mick. Great sax here.

Charlie is still jammin with them from heaven he will always be by their sides they are the greatest and bring back the best memories of my life love to all of you and your family especially Charlie Watts peace out

The Exile Tour is the greatest band ever compiled! My favorite of all

No doubt. I am becoming comfortable in saying in looking back to that Era of the stones that they are the greatest rock and roll band in the history of music itself😮

I appreciate his skills the more I watch Charlie 😢😢😢😢 R.I.P.

Same here brother, out of 'High' school in '72, saw Stones 1st time, Fan for Life!!

Well said Bruce, I feel the same! I’m so glad that I’ve experienced all that great music. I’ve visited their concerts in Gothenburg Sweden since 65

Same here! Rock and rolls best front man. I grew up listening to them and even did homework listening to all my Stones records. How I did that and still passed I'll never know...

the Rolling stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath what teenager years we had DAMN we where so lucky

@@user-pp1xo7vp8x ??????

Yes my friend.. The best band forever and ever... Long life for The Rolling Stones 🙏💯✌️👌🔥🔥✌️🇦🇷❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hello, how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.

@@keithrichards5334 You played with the best; you are the best! Keep on going Kéef.

It's disappearing like big band eventually did.

Awesome dude

Did you ever make it to the Crawdaddy? Always wished to hear the stories from those hangin about ..Richmond ..TW9 1HU, United Kingdom.. Richmond, Surrey, England... The back room of the Station Hotel.. (Or stories from the corner of Royal Avenue and King's Road, Chelsea, London.. where The Chelsea Drug Store stood in 1968...) In the beginning.. The Stones were the house band at the Crawdaddy.. the Yardbirds were next.. this would of been an incredible place to hang out.. Oldham had the keys to the USA and the world tours then.. The Whiskey in LA was another place I wish I'd been old enough to waste time in.. but.. The Beatles actually helped the Rolling Stones find a tune for their first hit.. Beatles were also responsible for encouraging Andrew Loog Oldham to check out the Stones.. The Beatles and the Stones were considerate to the other band about altering drop dates for albums so each band could capitalize on song releases successfully.. For me personally.. there is no deep competion in their musical styles.. the fans are the fans who carry hits to #1 and there's only room for 1... My needle is broken & choice is permanently stuck on The 😎Rolling Stones. 🖤💙. Thankful for the Beatles for sure.. but in all my years of loving Rock and Roll.. I've only bought "1" 45 rpm related to Beatles music and it had nothing to do with "early Beatles".. of course I watched the cartoon as a child.. Saturday morning animated television series featuring representations of the popular English rock band the Beatles. Originally broadcast from 1965 to 1969 on ABC in the U.S. (only 1965 to 1967 was first run; later seasons were repeats). Opening theme: "Can't Buy Me Love" (season 1, full program); "Help!"... loved the Paul McCartney work too... but The Rolling Stones were like pirates to my soul.. that sound.. that showmanship.. that scene.. stole me.

Nice story to remember the best to remember and pass on !!! To your children 🙂

Wow! Lucky devil! Cheers!

@@debmccorkle4845 Not A Beatles Fan AT ALL !! sorry lol.. Have U seen the Stones live from the dessert shows play Come Together ?????? I Swear they Rock IT !! BIG TIME !! RIP Charlie.....

Same!

You'll never guess what's happening in 2024...

On the road again!

You haven't seen Stones if you seen them after 1972.

@@kentbergstrom3020STP 1972 is great, but musically, it cannot compete with the European 1973 Tour, which almost everyone considers PEAK Stones as a live act.

Yup...there's no debate.

My friend, i totaly agree. Beatles did their last gig '66 in frisco/USA. For me, Beatles are Not a Band, they did some welldone studio -works, but a real Band got to play live, so they show what they really can do, like the Stones always did (and still do), not only producing welldone studio -works, like tha beatles did! Playing Live is tha holy Gral for a Rock 'n' Roll -band! Praises

Let's just say when we listen to the Stones we get Satisfaction.

Beatles and Stones are the greatest Bands on Earth - different Music, but both created Songs for Eternity

Well put.

What you wrote about Charlie was beautiful and so very true!

He was going to throw Mick out a window one night, can't remember why, but I'm sure he had a good reason

Indeed 🖤

Ronnie gave his best on it, one of the best solos released with the Stones, he fits perfectly the mood of the song and of the arrangement.

I saw them on this tour. For some reason I don't remember the saxophone player. I do remember Billy Preston. It was great.. the stage was a trip! Great version of this song.

& The 1971 midnight rambler was priceless. 💖

Still like the Circus version. Done before the studio.

Like it

"Forever young".

The Stones are the soul of the Stones, cause of their perfect fusion.

The most overrated, IMHO.

Taylor played some sweet guitar on "time waits for no man"

@@carolbricker4434 *For No One

Oops

@@EdubertoPalitroke I agree.

He's got "That" Voice 😍😏🎤🎸

They could make a greatest hits with just all Keith songs

@@literallyunderrated I know Mick is the lead guy of the Stones, but Keith Richards has always been the "Spice" of the STONES 👅👄

He hits th hi notes

He’s perfect for Mick. His ability to sing right behind or a head of the melody.

Agree. The version in this video may be best I’ve heard.

@@larrya7360 This version is smokin' for sure. But I gotta give the win still to the Get Yer Ya-Yas version. That was pretty much the ONLY song on that album that wasn't goosed up completely live on that recording, and it just kills. I think the GYYYO version of Midnight Rambler is the gold standard by which all other versions are judged. But this one...I gotta say is a VERY close #2!! :D

@@chilecayenne I loved the tempo on the GYYYO version and the ending was the best ever, but I always wondered if there weren’t production tricks that balanced out Mick’s and Keith’s guitars. Plus, GYYYO was the first version I heard and therefore the standard by which I measured all other versions. All the Stones’ live recordings rock so much harder than the studio versions. Yet I’ve never heard a live version of Satisfaction that I thought held a candle to the record. Keith couldn’t seem to replicate that distinctive guitar tone live.

There is absolutely no one on Earth 🌎 that can fill the Stones shoes. The most incredible band ever. I am so grateful that I was with them for all the decades they played. Charlie will never be replaced, he was phenomenal. Hope to meet him in the afterlife with Jesus.

@@maureenmoody2687 I hear that! I like some Charlie Watts.

@@maureenmoody2687 I mean they were number 2 in their prime cos of Zeppelin

From '69 to '74, they had the BEST guitarist the Stones ever had: Mick Taylor. The band was never the same after 1974.

@@carlneoh5843 Zeppelin is legendary, but I lived during those days and nothing was a force like The Stones. Yes, Zeppelin was more talented, but The Stones were a worldwide event when they showed up.

Love this performance too!! I love it when Mick plays the harmonica…..he’s just phenomenal. The only front man with as much stamina to “maybe” give him a run for his money might be David Byrne of the Talking Heads. He doesn’t have his moves though and no one really does. If that song doesn’t make you want to move…then you are seriously flawed.

Midnight Rambler ❤👌

It's like a parody of Johnny Rotten and his lot.

Yeah this live version is probably the best ever. It was still so fresh and alive and angry!...it had an energy to it that although there have been good live versions since, none have really captured the lighting in a bottle like this one. This is one of my all time favorite live stones moments, and I'm pretty farmiliar with many of 'em...

@@geruto17760 He`s wearing a Sex Pistols Swastika Destroy shirt too.

I danced 💃🏿 into the new year that year.. the house played Shattered over and over.. most of the night.. we nearly came up with a choreographed dance step to this song..

It’s an amazingly constructed song in that it’s basically just one simple guitar riff but Mick’s vocal delivery and the imagery keeps me riveted all way through

Agree…they really captured the punk essence and took it to another level.

@@ctdali you said it perfectly!

try working for the clampdown live the clash pretty awsome

They were at their best with Mick Taylor on lead.

Beautifully said !! Charlie was the Heartbeat of The Stones.. I do not think they should replace Charlie at all. I have been a Stones fan since I was 13 yrs old , lucky to have seen them over 30 times in concert , went to 3 Press Conferences have 3 Press Packages. I do not think the band should continue without Charlie...RIP to The A Real Gentleman The One n ONLY Dapper Charlie Watts....

@@terasasanders8155 Yep! Stones without Bill Wyman. Sure. Without Brian Jones. OK. Then without Mick Taylor. Alright.But the Stones without Charlie Watts? Nope. No way. Tks for commenting Teresa.

@@zulmarlopes6021 I really Agree with you about Brian n Mick T. I was perturbed in 1993 when Bill Left the Stones I was worried who would or could replace him . Darryl Jones stepped in and FIT Right Into the Band.. Sadly he never gets the recognition he Truly Deserves, He is A Kick-Ass bass player. Without Charlie I feel as tho The Stones should refund the money. All Us Stones fans would rather they not tour again with this Covid problem. Why r they risking their lives for what? Now that there is no drummer that could replace him. There is NO Drummer they could just jump in the way Darryl did. I love The Stones and want them to close up shop . they made a shit ton of money. Time 2 rest n enjoy FAMILY cuz at the end of the day Is it worth 1 of them contracting this Killer Covid? Nice chatting ..peace from New Jersey USA...
