From Ben Waters:

What a great night!! Steve Jordon !!!
It was pretty special, Axel Zwingenberger, Dave Green, Jools Holland, Gilson Lavis, Mark Mark Flanagan, Lisa Fisher, Tim Ries, Bernard Fowler, Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards, Tom Waters, Mick Jagger, Steve Jordon all played their hearts out for our great friend Charlie Watts. It was an honour to play , Thank you Serephina, Charlotte and all the family. It was a unforgettable and very moving night. Apologies if I have missed anyone off

Maybe it'll be filmed & recorded for a TV-Special or a Streaming-Event.

How about it's a private show for friends and family and they don't film or record it as it's about remembering their friend and not a money making exercise same as the Stu tribute in 1986.

By Claude O’Brein

I just heard tonight the Rolling Stones have a special eavening tribute to Charlie Watts...only 220 guests...do you know anithing about?

Answer by Gail Hoffman

It is a private memorial. Not for fans


For what it is worth, on Facebook

How about a tribute-show for Charlie's fans and to his remembrance (which has nothing to do with a money making exercise) ?

Hope this will be a lovely evening for family and friends

Very fitting way to close out this chapter.

"Charlie plans to rejoin his bandmates later in the year"- Charlie's statement.

And indeed it looks like he will.
"To Charlie"

Yeah! to Charlie

Anyone down around the venue?

I hope they can have a peaceful evening remembering their friend/father/husband without crazy fans or paparazzi around. If it's meant to be private then I think everyone should respect that.

Exactly.....unfortunately some "fans" border on the obsessive and can ruin a very private event.

Satisfied since 1976

If it is a private event I am sure they would prefer that it remain private. I am sure they do not want a big crowd of fans hanging around.

And I agree it should be like the Stu tribute. No recordings or groupies.

Rather this one by Mick J. on Dec. 1st - [Twitter.com] , [www.Instagram.com] , [www.Facebook.com] .

I work in Soho and popped down around 6:00. There was a couple complaining that their concert ticket had been postponed and there were a number of security floating around.....just another night in Soho really!!

No point sticking around

It's invite only.

Perfect.

Any updated?

Funny MJ or anyone is posting 'hints' if the show is really supposed to be totally private.

You can't have it both ways.

True, you can't, but we as fans might just have been reading too much into these "hints".

Let's go with that then. I was only getting it 3rd hand anyway...who knows what the actual intent was.

Perfect name for the new Stones LP!

All I know is I heard about this show from three different people, spontaneously and separate of each other.

It would appear that the invitations got sent out more than a month ago so they were indeed able to keep a pretty good lid on this.
