Completely comfortable holding a set of brushes, and content to focus on great timekeeping, even in the quintet that bears his name. We miss you Charlie.
Living in a castle is pretty good for someone who couldn't play a solo. If he had been that kind of player, they probably wouldn't have sold as many records as they did.
One of the BIG items is to note the size (or lack there of) of his drum kit! THIS probably says more about Charlie as a drummer than anything else. I had the pleasure of catching him with his "Big Band" a number of years ago and he NEVER took a solo and seemed to push every member of the band out into the spot light, while keeping himself in the background. Just a classy guy, who will be GREATLY missed in the musical world!
Incredible... real musicians, not a computer effect. This is how it's done. Thank you Charlie for your amazing mark on music history beyond the Stones.
Tasty, tasty smooth brush work by Charlie. Shows the true depth of his ability on drum kit. Nobody will argue his iconic work with the Rolling Stones but his versatility at different genres of music is refreshing to see. He will be missed. RIP.
I have that album and have listened to it many many times but it's a treat to see him playing live like this he was an amazing drummer and will be missed....
Never saw this before. Bernard Fowler’s voice was silken. The quintet was on point and there was Charlie as always, in the background quietly anchoring the whole proceedings. Bless you, Charlie. Rest In Peace.
A class act and Charlie was a REAL drummer who knew his place and didn´t need tons of cymbals and drums to prove it. A fantastic drummer and a true gentleman completely in my personal taste!
only saw the Stones once, in 1994, but will always remember Mick introducing each of the band members...no lie, Charlies ovation was twice as long as anyone else's...Keith & Ronnie's receptions paled in comparison...anyone who loved that band knows Charlie was the backbone. Kind of amazing he's gone, yet Keith just keeps going and going and going, likely to outlive us all.
The Rolling stones have lost a brother!!! As have we all, but my real love go's out to kieth,mick Ronnie and all the band past and present. He was one of lifes true Gentlmen, who seemed to be happy not haveing the big spot light moments but had alot of wise thoughts if you had tge time to really listen.RjIP Charlie
One more thing! Back in the early 80s, I would ask my sisters this question. What comes to mind when you think of the Rolling Stones. Their answer: Charlie Watts! No joke!!
I love seeing Pete King in fine form on alto saxophone - I remember buying the "Warm & Tender" album from a record shop when I was in Iowa, just to get out of the cold. - R.I.P Pete King and Charlie Watts.
I love this song by most anyone I hear si sing g it. This time I watched charlie watts smiling and looking g relaxed. That added even more to this so g.
As much as Mick's voice and Keith's guitar, Charlie Watts's snare sound is the Rolling Stones. When Mick sings, 'It's only rock 'n' roll but I like it,' Charlie's in back showing you why! 🇧🇷
Awestruck by that performance. Not only by Charlie's always impeccable timekeeping, but the whole performance by the entire band. I'll be looking more into the jazz that Charlie released. Great clip.
Agree. I liked rock when I was a young man. My musical taste started to change to jazz as I was getting older. An album that impressed me a lot is "Charlie Parker with Strings".
Best Charlie Watts story I've read: A drunk Mick Jagger was calling Watts hotel room to come join a party and asked him "Where's my drummer?" so Watts goes down to the party, opens the door, punches Jagger in the face and says "Don't ever call me your drummer again, you're my fucking singer."
You missed the best part. Apparently Jagger Woke Charlie up. And Watts got out of bed, took a shower and shaved. Then shined his shows and picked the best clothes in his closet. Took a car to the hotel where Mick and Keith were, and as soon as Mick opened the door, Charlie suckered punch him and then said those lines.. I like to think he was taking his time getting dressed up while thinking "I'm gonna F'ed him up..."
@@lorenzoaramirez3915 AND, according to Keith's book, the punch knocked Mick over a tray of salmon, towards an open window, which he nearly fell out of...maybe the best rock & roll story ever.
Like below, CW looks like this was really where he was meant to be. Possibly sad too, since he never liked the Star stuff but being rich meant he could put together a band like this and possibly pad things when gigs were few. Thanks Charlie, see you soon...
I'm here for Chatlie. But that singer's voice is really good, the band too. The sound is something new for me. I'll keep looking for Charlie Watts quintet stuff now. Warm and Tender album is wonderful.
You can see Charlie is really in his own element...Smiling, a little head bobbing...Rest in Peace Charlie...
This is some mediocre shit.
REST EASY Charlie. Thanks for being part of our soundtrack
So happy here, playing the music he loved.

He didn't have the technique to play anything else
@@davidfarrell4286 He said as much in his Bob Costas interview.
He always said he wasn't good. And that Mick was an awesome stage presence. And keef was brilliant at arranging
He personally gave this CD to me.. glorious human being. So special. My heart is aching…
it must have been a thrill ! .... i hate that he’s gone 😞
Wow!!!
Smooth as silk RIP Charlie Watts
Bernard Fowler has an awesome voice
God Bless Charlie Watts, such a class act.

Yeah!!! What Pat said... Gentleman... totally cool dude.. Picture him just watching Peter Pan runnin' bout the stage
@@Bartolllo huh ?
Well not really, you just use a smaller kit to play jazz due to the tuning
Incredible... real musicians, not a computer effect. This is how it's done. Thank you Charlie for your amazing mark on music history beyond the Stones.
Word.
This is such a lovely side to Charlie....smiling...
He looks so at home playing jazz. Never really listened to this part of his career but I'm gonna check it out right now. Rip
I didn't even know about this part of his career! Love it.
Wow. Same. This is awesome!
I have all his solo work...its terrific.
Charlie *worked* with the Stones, but really *played* with *these* guys.
@@DrDespicable That's a very nice way to describe it! The difference between frowning, and looking relaxed with a big grin. :)
A legend in so many ways. He will be missed but his legacy lives on forever.
Charlie shows His versatility from Rock & Roll with The Stones To Smooth Jazz...Awesome
He really looked in his element. Rest easy Charlie. Thanks for the great music.
So glad I saw them twenty like times, including this quintet. RIP Dear Charlie.
Wow, you got to see the Quintet....I would have loved to do that!

RIP Charlie. The drumbeat of generations of fans.
He did like Charlie Parker ...Charlie Watts was a legend R.I.P.
Anyone who can appreciate Bird is OK in my book.
I'm on my second copy of that particular album of Charlie's. Simply magnificent.
Fun to see Charlie Watts in a different setting. A stressed out world could use to listen to more jazz.
Great to see Stones backup singer Bernard Fowler stepping out front.
I have that album and have listened to it many many times but it's a treat to see him playing live like this he was an amazing drummer and will be missed....
Charley sharing his Jazz Passion with the world…makes me like Jazz more because Charley did.💖
Never seen Charlie so happy.
This is exactly what I needed to start my day rip mr. Watts
So nice to see Charlie relaxed and loving the music. RIP.

I don't know if Charlie could play any rolls or not, but watching this video, I'm blown away by his contribution to the totality of the sound.
"Banging on the drums like Charlie Watts" John Hiatt
thanks for the reference....Slow Turning
I hope to see more of these slices of his life so cool

Had the same experience (Voodoo Lounge Tour). Charlie's ovation was loud, long and heartfelt. I looked at my friend and said, "Excellent".
You are right!! As long Charlie kept the pace, he was the backbone of the Stones.
One more thing! Back in the early 80s, I would ask my sisters this question. What comes to mind when you think of the Rolling Stones. Their answer: Charlie Watts! No joke!!
Keith is immortal, like Connor McLeod the Highlander !😉
Band includes Dave Green (who was at primary school with Charlie), Peter King (alto), Gerard Presencer (trumpet)
Thank you!
And Bernard Fowler on vocals.
Gerard Presencer blew the trumpet solo on US3's "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)." Thanks for the personnel, Oliver.
A whole new level of Appreciation & Respect. Thank U Mr. Watts.🥁
I always thought he was the coolest Stone (this performance lends credence to my theory).
Thx for posting, Don.
Agreed
except this is pretty cheezy and he sucks as a jazz drummer
@@juliosanchez8263 We can't all be Buddy Rich or Billy Cobham now, can we?
My heart hurts. RIP CHARLIE WATTS🥀🥲💔
GREAT MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man. That was really really good.
Yes it was.
RIP. Surprised to see he used brushes on his only Letterman appearance with the quintet. How humble!
He really got to show his musical diversity
He always played to fit the song and just what it took to magnify the song and its performance.
He didn't fade away!!
Thanks for this upload, Don. Nice to see Charlie playing the music he truly loved.
Love the singer!
I love seeing Pete King in fine form on alto saxophone - I remember buying the "Warm & Tender" album from a record shop when I was in Iowa, just to get out of the cold. - R.I.P Pete King and Charlie Watts.
Rest in Peace Charlie. Love all that you gave us. ❤
A great gentleman gone way too soon... RIP Charlie Watts, your love for jazz will forever be remembered
So long Charlie, you were fantastic. RIP 🎶🎵💝
Jazz is the coolest. Kudos, Sir Watts.
The coolest stone! Cheers Charlie Watts!
Rest easy, Charlie
Very impressive live performance. That could have just been put on an album exactly as it was.
God Bless you Charlie!
Still has that drum key on the tom..... He was so unique and what a great under appreciated drummer
Thank's Charlie, forever in my heart ❤️
Miss him. Miss Letterman's show.
Charle watts u will always be the bomb
I love this song by most anyone I hear si sing g it. This time I watched charlie watts smiling and looking g relaxed. That added even more to this so g.
Fantastic song.
A true legend. Thanks Charlie. RIP.
I feel like he just took us all to heaven just now.
Super!! C'est la première fois que je le vois en concert. Très bien 😊❤

Charlie was the proof that you can be inside the storm and remain decent !
Valuable movie ,Charlie's brushes play!
Really cool stuff.
R.I.P
I love this song….
I am not a jazz fan, but I know a great performance when I hear it ... and that was!
Charlie looks so cool ! Rest in peace!
HE WAS ALWAYS COOL ✌✌✌👍👍💚💚💚🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻🍻🍺🍺
Awestruck by that performance. Not only by Charlie's always impeccable timekeeping, but the whole performance by the entire band. I'll be looking more into the jazz that Charlie released. Great clip.
Charlie 100 Watts RIP
smooth.
beautiful
delightful…farewell
Rest In Peace Charlie
Would've been cool to catch a full set in a small club.
He looks more happier with jazz than with rock.
Of course. Wouldn't you prefer music you can actually listen to than having too many electric instruments screaming at you?
Agree. I liked rock when I was a young man. My musical taste started to change to jazz as I was getting older. An album that impressed me a lot is "Charlie Parker with Strings".
Charlie’s “Soul” reached Heaven long before his body died!
Very quick, Don. Well done.
Beautiful.

That’s.awesome. RIP Mr Watts. One of my early influences. As a kid I tried to cop all those stones hits.

Such an integral part of the Stones' sound.
A JAZZ MAN TRULY

Charlie really at home with brushes. RIP
Bernard Fowler on lead vocals. He sang backing vocals with the Stones in live tours!
Peter King on alto sax. The greatest British jazz saxophonist who ever lived..
La mejor forma de recordar a Charlie!! Jazz!
Horses From Poland Still love's you
I'm here for Chatlie. But that singer's voice is really good, the band too. The sound is something new for me.

Warm and Tender album is wonderful.
Charlie had perfect timing.
RIP Mr Watts
Charlie was a way better drummer than he got credit for!!! He is one of my favorites!!!
Buen viaje Maestro!
I WANNA SEE Charlie do more Gene Krupa beats
Smells like New Orleans
CHARLIE WATTS CRYED AND LOVED BY ALL REST IN PEACE.😒👏👏👏
Too bad real jazz aren’t played on these late night shows
It probably is when they go to a commercial break.
I was hoping to hear more drumming.
Trivia:
Charlie used to be a jazz drummer before joining the Rolling Stones.
Watts was booked on the NBC show but cancelled. Dave said " If you had to have a Rolling Stone canel, he would be the one ( maybe paraphrasing".
