Charlie was not miming or air drumming.
The drumsticks had sensor/trigger technology.
You hit a surface and it triggers a drum sound.
These aren't the one's he used, but this video gives you an idea of the Technology involved...

Read about this several times already, but I'm still not convinced.
If you watch and listen closely, there's drum sounds happening when there shouldn't be.
Could be a combo of this and some prerecorded drums I suppose, but I'm still leaning towards 100% air drumming.
I guess the verdicts still out...
Absolutely BV. The cause is all that matters.Quote

I feel the same kind of hostile mood they had at Altamont 1969 here. Time to cool down everybody. It was just a tribute to WHO and the health workers. Not really an application for a grammy. I think they did a fine performance. No need to fight over details here.

There is some pre-recorded drums but he is clearly playing along with it.
He's not miming.
Watch his chair/cymbal work (lol) and snare rolls, definitely playing live.

Charlie was hilarious - miming surely, all the talk about hi-tech sticks is amusing though.

Mick was playing lead guitar this time, it would not make any sense for Keith just to double what Mick already was playing.
Keith added some nice colouring instead, which he often does on electric as well, the difference being on an acoustic that kind of playing doesn't cut through as clearly.
Nothing wrong with Keith's playing, the alternative would've been for him to play the usual electric lead he does on this song BUT it's hard to make an electric lead guitar sound good without proper recording equipment and if they only had a simple camera setup for this recording it would make much more sense for Keith to play acoustic.
This was a nice semi-unplugged version, don't know why people are complaining,
Mick played rhythm guitar
Depends on how you define rhythm guitar. If you think the sporadic licks Ronnie was playing is lead guitar then fine. For me the person who plays the lead chords on this song is playing lead, just like I think Keith is playing lead on Start Me Up etc.
Not only do I think that, it is that way. No one else played rhythm guitar, but Mick.
Keith and Ronnie played licks. Ronnie played the solo.

Watching the UK 2 hour programme,which is just ending, and I thought The Stones were great.
Nothing spectacular or different to what I expected, and they done well.
The UK 2 hour show I found quite emotional at times with lots of tributes to all the lovely people who are doing their best in these troubled times.
My 93 year old Mum is in a care home and we haven't seen her for 3-4 weeks now,
The staff at the care home are so nice and caring, and life must be difficult for
them as well as us.
Life will get better for us all eventually,but unfortunately Coronavirus19 does not seem to be a quick fix.
God Bless us all..........and we will all get through it.

Several solo performances on this show, but the Stones were the only band who performed together.

Over 2 million views on Youtube in less than 24 hours, also their whole catalog is peaking on both Itunes/Spotify, a great way to capitalize the good reception of the performance.
