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.
That's fantastic!
Was absolutely great to see "Charlie Watts" along with Keith Richards and Rolling Stones as the top trends on Twitter last night.

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.
Apparently you haven't been introduced to your website...this is what happens on every thread; scrutinizing the minutia of every detail, and then disagreeing on what we see and hear.
It's the only fun we have!

I assume they did a base track with Mick, then it was passed on to the other members, playing back on it. Then some minor sound was added. I assume a certain tree farmer in Macon, Georgia did some work on it too. Like Mick said, without Chuck Leavell, no Stones.
This was not a performance to be evaluated technically. It was a performance telling the world The Rolling Stones support WHO and the health workers who work night and day during these crazy days. Also in tribute to those who clean, and everyone else who have hard times these days.
I like the basic style of the performance. Mick and Keith on acoustic guitars. Stripped down. Charlie stripped down. Ronnie carry the solo, like he does always. Keith adding backing vocals. Charlie smiles. They are all alive and kicking. That is all we need to know. I can't see why they should have rehearsed for weeks to do a "postcard" song to the world.
The[y] did a great tribute performance.

Not satisfied to with just being the coolest human alive, Charlie adds a new weapon to his arsenal, drumming with no drums!
Keith seemed, at best, disinterested. At worst, drunk/stoned/didn't know or care what was going on. It wasn't a good look for him.
The other 3 did great.
Probably in early 2021, I think the next leg will be amazing!Quote

Lizzo was awesome. Lady Gaga too. J Lo’s performance was pretty lame with that cheesy backdrop that reminded me of something you’d see on the Lawrence Welk Show (which we watched as a family when I was a little kid). Billie Eilish has a nice voice, but she was drowned out a bit by the piano.

Actually the live stream proved to quite a revival for our boys:
* Charlie and Charlies airdrum both went viral and draw attention in media
* All four was on the top 40 most googled during the weekend (Mick on an impressive place #5)
* Articles/journalists agree that Stones performance was top notch. Even bad reviews about the gala wrote that the ”Stones stream” was top class
* Stones performance is atm the most streamed on Youtube behind the finale - VERY impressive since all performances has been released and that a LOT of younger artists performed
* Even swedish news channel SVT were surprised that Stones turned out to be the most innovative
Google our boys and go to news and read for yourself
Well done boys!

Wait. Keith Urban recorded each part separately?

You're probably right and that would be cool (as it was yesterday)! Hopefully they can tour in 2021, but will they be fit for and in the mood for that?

Ronnie bless him really shined on his Stratocaster and really did a super job on the fills and the most tasteful solo covering Mick Taylor's parts off the studio release ( Let It Bleed ) .You all are going to laugh but I actually missed Chucks keyboard/piano
