Charlie Watts Video

I saw this on a documentary and immediately brought it to the internets, because I don't think this footage has been posted yet. I own nothing in this video. Now for the members, possibly my countries greatest export: Vocals-Mick Jagger Guitar-Keith Richards Bass guitar-Bill Wyman Drums-Charlie Watts Sitar-Brian Jones *Edit-12 November 2010, I just noticed that this has over a quarter of a million views.

And there was another guitar over the top of that, but tuned to Nashville tuning. I learned that from somebody in George Jones' band in San Antonio in 1964. The high-strung guitar was an acoustic, too. Both acoustics were put through a Philips cassette recorder. Just jam the mic right in the guitar and play it back through an extension speaker.[3] Richards has stated that he and Jagger wrote the lyrics while <b>...</b>
