The Beatles in Nice, France, in June 1965. They showed up on stage after two hours late. No apologize. Their sound could not been heard by the audience. They stayed on stage twenty minutes.They appeared on stage only to take money. Their gig was quite a shit. The Beatles had no respect for the audience.

Here is a picture of Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings I took at Katalin, Östra Station in Uppsala, Sweden, on October 31st 2005. Nick Payn is in front. The venue is an old railroad station. It was a great show.

Nick Payn, the saxophonist of Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings, told me in person that Charlie really punched Mick and said to him: “I am not your drummer. I am the drummer of the band. Never forget it.” Nick Payn took the story from Bill Wyman.

Quotesweetcharmedlife Quotebv I would assume that most fans do want to hear the story from the man who lived it. And book signing isn't very rock'n'roll, is it? Well Ronnie did it. Bill Wyman did it. Nick Masson did it. Many others did it. Charlie Watts signed for me the book "Charlie Watts" by Alan Clayson. ...

The books written by Bill Wyman, “Stone Alone” and “Rolling With The Stones”, are real historical works. They reveal lots of information. Bill is a methodical and meticulous historian. Keith is not like that. I am not sure that Keith’s book reveals all about the Stones.

During their boogie woogie week in Paris, Charlie, Axel and Dave signed the Magic of Boogie Woogie. In this great week, Charlie signed also for me the box of Get yer ya-ya’s out and the Jim Keltner Project. So far, I have six autographs from Charlie. I had got the three first ones at Ronnie Scott’s.

I have attended the last 10 p.m gig. Once again, I was in the first row. The venue was crowded. Like every night, Charlie came from the rear of the audience. He walked slowly across the room. When he was next to me, I told him “come on, Charlie, you’re the best”. He looked at me and said to me “thank you”. Once again, Charlie was terrific. He has been drumming briskly and energetically on “

For the third evening, I went to le Duc des Lombards at the 10 p.m. gig. I recognized several people in the audience who were there the previous days. On Thursday night, Charlie played louder than the previous nights. He was great. The band played Route 66 for the first time. It was new and really good. Alex Zwingenberger’s stomp was high-speed. To-night he wore a dark suit with lemon y

Great interview of Charlie. Besides, they have showed a few seconds of the 1st 10pm gig. On the video, I can be seen in the middle of the 1st row.

The Wednesday gigs started later in the evening than the previous ones. The 10 pm show began at 10:35. There was a large range of people in the audience. There were English, German, Dutch, Russian and other nationalities. There were some French politicians too. I sat in the first row again, at three meters away from Charlie. Next to me, there was a famous French musical writer and repor

To-night, Tuesday 7th, I have just seen Charlie Watts for his first boogie woogie night in Paris. In Paris, I have seen the Stones many times at several venues; I have seen Bill Wyman at le Bataclan and l’Olympia. I had already seen Charlie several times at Ronnie Scott’s in London, but to-night was the first time in a jazz club in Paris. The venue, le Duc des Lombards jazz club is a nice

It was in Nice, in 1976, while waiting outside the venue, “Stade de l’Ouest”, before the opening of the gates. It was the first gig of the Stones in Nice. People have been waiting in front of the gates for hours and hours since early morning, under hot summer sun and much dust all around. In the middle of the afternoon, several thousands of waiting people were pushed and mashed against the ga
