Crackin' Up from Love You Live. Coolest drumming ever.

Charlie is superb on his own accord but the Stones wouldn't have been as killer without Wyman & Richards to lock with him and raise the bar.
The Holy Trinity in my opinion Watts-Wyman-Richards

While listening to Black And Blue, I really paid attention to Charlie's most excellent work on "Hand Of Fate". Textbook drumming! Perfect! Give it a listen.
What are some of your favorite Charlie moments?

His drumming on Black and Blue generally is excellent....But THE stand out track is Hand of Fate.......IMHO
Can bring on massive amounts of air drumming with the right levels of inebriation.

Levon Helm, Ian Paice, and I'm sure there are many, many more.

Part of his greatness/style is in the way he holds the sticks, no? There was a thread somewhere way back in the digital ether that discussed this.
Watts' jazz style way vs. Ringo's rock style way of holding the drum sticks.

its not so rare now but there was a time when Charlie hardly spoke to the press..
brief were the comments elicited from him..
now he'll allow an interview every now and then..
I'm remembering enjoying those first DownBeat and Modern Drummer interviews ..

There is no drummer like Charlie.
There's no guitar player like Keith.
No singer like Mick...
The Rolling Stones is one perfect coincidence! The fact that all of them met and formed this band is one of the greatest miracles of the 20th century.

Black & Blue is such an underrated album. Charlie's snare on that album is the best snare sound in recording history, IMHO.
