Perfect song choice for a tribute to Charlie Watts. When I was a kid I wondered how they could be so tight and so loose at the same time. Watching Beato and you break it down made me realize it was Charlie's impeccable groove that allowed the others the freedom to play in his sandbox. Only took 50 years to get it explained in a way I could understand. Thanks!

This is a great example of a true pro playing a version that pays respect to the current popular music scene of 1978ish… it’s a much more disco vibe than a lot of versions I know…. Charlie’s playing isn’t necessarily technically hard to follow but he has these subtle strokes that make it unique to him and totally recognizable. Can’t you hear me knocking great example…. If Stewart Copeland is behind the kit you can’t mistake it… Truly great alpha players on whatever instrument are impossible to not pick out

RIP, Charlie. The execution and pocket there are perfect, agreed. That hi-hat groove you're digging is that quintessential, 1/8th notes open on the up-beat disco move. They caught hell for the disco vibe as I recall, but it really was an artful co-opting. Great tune.

I can’t say enough how much I enjoyed this video. The Beatles, as a group or individually, could never play traditional, raw blues music like The Rolling Stones did. I always enjoy great learnings from Michael’s reactions that talk about drumming and rhythm. Plus, Michael’s own guitar work at the end of this video shows a lot that we can pick up from, by watching and listening to what he does. In the 90s, I saw The Rolling Stones twice, once with third row seats. Today, I consider myself lucky for those experiences.
@randyranson842 жыл бұрын
Tend to disagree, the Beatles 'Yer Blues' puts that suggestion to rest. The Beatles could play blues like no one else, if that's all they ever wanted to do, instead they became mega-musical innovators, something the Rolling Stones could never do, and I love the Rolling Stones, and believe they're fantastic too in their own way. Beatles though, in my book, get the edge!
