.......... I am not a musician, but I have always regarded Charlie's drumming as "other worldly", especially when he uses the hi-hat (which I am not sure most rock 'n rollers have in their kit), and how he he ends "START ME UP" with that one-two thing he does,and grabs the cymbal right at the end beat to stop it from "ringing".

..............I've always said it.... saying you are "going to retire" in the rock 'n roll world kills the whole idea of being a cool rock 'n roll group.

That way the particular songs can be prepared in advance. ..................Whatever the case , it is a yet another "innovation" from the boys, that other bands probably wish they had thought of (or got ideas from). Probably also gave Charlie (at the time), a laugh or two.
