I love these guys so much ~ rest in peace dear Charlie ~ my drum teacher (when I was a young man) was a Charlie fan too ~ so blessed to have had Charlie in our lives .. 🥁 🎶 🇬🇧🇦🇺

[@thejoyofthemusicinmylife7897]

I just love how Keith breaks in to that little laugh during interviews.

[@raymondturner9441]

Best quote ever from Keith, I don't think on stage I feel.

[@EPSGplayer]

Keith’s hair was wicked during this period. ❤

[@jond181]

One of the best interviews of the Stones I’ve ever had the privilege to listen to … Great questions , and just jived with the guys

[@HangFireStonesPodcast]

Classic one!

[@alexanderatherton1999]

They’ve all got such unique loveable personalities

[@HangFireStonesPodcast]

So different from one another yet a thread ties them together

[@VCT3333]

Either this tour or the next one: They had a 10 day stopover in Chicago where they played in 3 arenas with 3 different set lists. Aragon Theater where they only played Blues, United Center where they played deep cuts, and Soldier Field where they played their hits. They have a great, deep catalogue of fantastic songs.

[@HangFireStonesPodcast]

Yup that was on the following tour in 2002-2003 👍 Small correction: the show at the United Center was a mix of hits and obscure cuts with a mini-set devoted to a specific album (that night we got Some Girls). The show at the Aragon Ballroom was made up of a lot of obscure songs (not a straight blues set). That night we got the debut of Worried About You and also the second and last time they every played Torn and Frayed! And yes, the stadium show which actually was held at (then) Comiskey Park was the straight hits show. An unbelievably ambitious tour!

[@brianbard3846]

Wow ,I would LOVE to see this and the variation of shows, Especially the BLUE'S one, they usually have special local cats on these occasions . I would like to see the variation of energy in the different ones.

[@Viajealduende]

I’ve been backstage a couple times and Charlie was always smiling apparently to be genuinely having a good time.

[@HangFireStonesPodcast]

Nice, what was the backstage vibes like

[@Viajealduende]

@@HangFireStonesPodcast Very light hearted and friendly while maintaining their professionalism. Keith and Ronnie playing snooker together but greeting people. Charlie, stretching his arms, shaking hands and joking around. No one seemed to go unnoticed even if they didn’t know you they were all smiles, hello’s and how are you’s. Enjoy the show atmosphere.

[@HangFireStonesPodcast]

That's so awesome! Always assumed they kept a fun vibe backstage too. Thanks for sharing!

[@Viajealduende]

@@HangFireStonesPodcast Mind you that was the ‘97 Bridges tour, they’d gotten long past their debauchery days and still delivered great rock ‘n roll. It would have been fun to be there in ‘72 or maybe not. No one was shooting up in ‘97, they were all clear and coherent and a fun spirited group of people, not at all egocentric.

[@frankrusso9200]

How'd you manage to get backstage, please?

"2 guitars louder than 10 others". Actually this is true. But not only loud, but unique, true and honest. Interviews are perfect. Haven't expect it. Thanks for the this video. Awesome!

[@Viajealduende]

“There should be a good way of stopping.” -Charlie said. 😢 Rock “till the wheels come off” is what Mick and Keith said some years later. A big wheel came off with Charlie gone, yet they’re still rolling as they should.

[@johnbuck2227]

You got to love this interview. So candid. Chris did a superb job of asking intriguing questions. I have always loved the behind the scenes view of rock and rollers. Very few bands have lived this lifestyle like The Rolling Stones! I learned some interesting stuff watching this interview. Like going to bed at 7am and waking up between 3pm and 4pm to get to the gig by 5pm.

[@allanbluzdude]

This TFI program shows how great the 1999 No Security Arena Tour was. Glad we got the San Jose show officially released. Would love the opening show from Oakland to be released.

[@HangFireStonesPodcast]

[@romelovesdan]

@@HangFireStonesPodcast Oh yes. Count me in too! I was lucky to be able to go to 1/25/99 OAK, 1/27 SAC, 2/6 SAC, 2/9&11 ANA, 4/16 LV, and 4/19&20 SJ shows. EVERY ONE of those were fantastic! The live Chicago footage shown in this program is excellent and energetic!

[@HangFireStonesPodcast]

I remember reading in MOJO Magazine that Ronnie was pretty drunk for this entire tour. And from another source he was drinking up to 12 pints of Guinness a day. By the next tour he was on the wagon.

[@matthewlacey5307]

Yeah right !! And the rest! Guiness just his eye-opener before the two bottles of sambuca

[@TheRedSphinx]

Wood's first sober tour - EVER - was the 2002/03 Licks tour. His rock bottom was the 81/82 tours, when he was doing freebase cocaine. He and Richards annoyed each other to the point that they fought and drew firearms.

[@IanBillen]

Never caught this in the past. Nice .. Saw them in Pittsburgh this tour (No Security, 1999).

[@HangFireStonesPodcast]

My favorite tour 👍 and my first ever time seeing them.

[@JeffRebornNow]

I saw them in '89 and '94 in Pittsburgh. '89 was just brilliant, especially since they hadn't toured since '81 (and I really thought they pretty much sucked during that tour). They were really tight in '89, and that was pretty much the high point of their latter years. Keith was still able to play his guitar with constant energy and Mick didn't need a retinue of background singers to augment his voice. Today, I wouldn't walk across the street to see them. I have a real problem with old people attempting rock-n-roll. I think it's a farce and it's embarrassing.

[@bobgibb2781]

I remember this . Chris Evans was like a rabbit caught in the headlights and Danny Glover was lurking in the background .

[@cheeselewoo4825]

Excellent 🤩

[@JeffRebornNow]

Keith never claimed originality and went out of his way -- from the time he was a kid in the 60s -- to give credit to his influences. Name another rock star as big as Keith who gave more credit to those who came before. The only one who comes to mind is John Lennon.

[@davidmellish3295]

Eric Clapton is another one that always gives credit to those who influenced him,from the old blues singers like Robert Johnson ,Muddy Waters,B.B King etc to rockabilly acts like Carl Perkins then the early rockers like Chuck Berry,Little Richard etc He also paid homage to other great guitarist's like Jimi Hendrix,Duane Allman,Albert Lee etc far to many to mention but just like Keith he always gives his predecessors and peers their due

[@davidgangemi3314]

Spot on! And both of them still wrote original tunes from what they gleaned from their idols. Otherwise,they would have been Led Zeppelin.😊

[@grimmertwin2148]

Well said man I thought I was the only one pointing this out to the world. I got your back, front and sides lol

[@lylecampbell9036]

Well, you're not paying attention.

[@tristancarver734]

Keith's a few times over the years, said he's not the best or the original as he said here. So a bit humble and knows where and who influenced him. I don't think many, if any bands will have a record contract at their ages. That's of course if they're not financing it themselves through their company.

[@JeffRebornNow]

I basically left the same comment as you though I was a bit more specific.

[@kevio6868]

billionaires..They produce But it takes alotta companies to hire

[@patton303]

Johnny Depp made hundreds of millions of dollars imitating the original.

[@thejoyofthemusicinmylife7897]

That was funny what Ron Wood said about having to live with them. As Bono once remarked about being in a band of all males where their is long periods of recording and touring, it is like living and working on an oil rig out at sea. Your living with a team of men. ha ha

[@304sg]

“Ffffff…. open the cage.” 🐅 -Keith 🎆

Genius marketing awareness

[@steveconn]

Good period, health, still new albums. Little piano, Mick's voice conjures a whole little scene.

[@jeffreyscialabba4699]

i might get pretty beat up for saying this but . The No Security Tour thru The Bigger Bang tour were the most important and i think exciting time for a fan. The depth of their ability to play live was enormous.

[@HangFireStonesPodcast]

No disagreement from me! It definitely is their later period golden age. So many awesome tours and strong playing. Ronnie eventually showed up for the Licks tour and knocked it out. Bigger Bang tour for me is a tough one. Charlie's miraculous come back was out of this world but he came back with such energy that every song was played ridiculously fast! Super fun too watch but tough to really enjoy a lot of the ones here. The Saitama 2006 show was impeccable though! Ever see that one?

I wouldn’t describe Charlie as the “weirdest” Stone. He was the most down to earth and ‘normal’ compared to the others. He really didn’t enjoy all the showbiz and fame that came with being in a band that became as big as The Stones.

I remember seeing them close to this period on the Babylon tour and thinking, “damn. They are so old. How is this possibly going to go?” And this was 25 years ago!!! And they’re still going! But I will say, I’ve heard clips of them live from last year, they probably should give it up. Mick is still freakishly healthy but Keith is all over the place and now Charlie is gone. Not the same now. Hang it up boys. Unless you want to charge $10 a seat now.
