I could listen to Hal Blaine all day. What a wonderful human being. ❤️
Hal was amazing. Much like the story Keltner tells at the start of the video about him calling Shelly Mann, I got my nerve up about 3 years ago and called Hal. And I'm now 61 ! But Hal was so kind, and thoughtful, and I was able to speak to him several times. He always returned my calls, and I am no one..He didn't ever need to speak to me. He was just a true gentleman. I sent him a birthday card last year, and he even sent me a thank you note in the mail, a postcard with his famous Hal Blaine Strikes Again logo on it...what a guy... the world feels a bit emptier without him.
Such a heartfelt story. It's so nice to hear things like this. So nice for you to have had these interactions with him!
Great story - on impulse I also once sent Hal a birthday present in the form of a shirt with large images of his famous rubber stamp logo printed over it in several places. I hoped he wouldn’t object to such a thing - far from it, he sent a very warm ‘thank you’ message. In his interviews he always says how nice all the many people he worked with were and I think that was in large part a reflection of himself.
RIP to the legendary Mr. Blaine...thanks for decades of 'good vibrations'...
Hal Blaine could play everything superbly. An inspiration to everyone. Talk about dedication to craft and art. Thank you , Providence, for this fine man.
Thanks Don for bringing these 3 great drummers together in an interview. Each one of them has influenced my drumming.
These three guys HAL especially have probably been heard by more people through the years than any other human being in the history of the entertainment business. AweOme shit.
Great interview. It's so nice to Charlie Watts more comfortable talking and expressing himself. Perhaps he is getting the chance to participate in more adult conversations. Years ago he was only interviewed by Rock and Pop interviewers....and they didn't really give him a chance to say anything.
Thanks for posting. Great to hear from these 3 Giants.
Beauty! I remember as a kid sitting next to my record player....... 1234 da da da, da da da, da da da, da da da, da da dut, da da dut ga dut da da da dadala!!! Two reasons why I played Trumpet and Drums as a kid, Herb Alpert and Hal Blaine.... now that I'm much older and lugging and setting up Drums is such a back breaking chore these days, I wish I had kept playing my Trumpet! One light case, in and out, no fatigue or back pain! Thanks and Blessings Gentlemen, I loved every minute of it!
There are many old drummers still playing, not many old trumpet players.
My 3 influences at one sitting! To be a fly on the wall...no, to be sitting in with these 3 giants of the drumming world! RIP Hal.
I didn’t know Charlie Watts could talk. All kidding aside , I love watching him play. To Me He could play for days on end. God Bless Ya Charlie.
I did not know that Hal Blaine had passed. Like many people, it is only recently that I realized how large a part he played on rock and roll. I just finished watching Part 2 of this series and Poor Side of Town was highlighted. Last week, I listened to it at least 30 times and various versions. Over and over. I hadn’t even thought about that song in decades. Gave me a warm chill to hear Hal talk about it here. I’m going to listen to it again right now.
And omg the background singers...
Charles Robert Watts ever dapper with his matching yellow sweater & socks..
WOW......what a panel
Wow, what a treasure. Thanks for capturing these masters for posterity, Drum Channel!! PS, I gotta give some Hal props: in my opinion Love Will Keep Us Together is one of the quintessential drum tracks of all time. Listen closely and you'll hear master drumming, You killed it Hal!!!!
Wow what a room to be In incredible
RIP TO A LEGEND! He just passed today :(
3 great drummers ! Still would love to plug up with Charlie.
I knew a really good local drummer that told me that anyone can play drums cause it’s is as easy as pie. Keeping the beat takes skill. I think he was right.
Drums for all and all for drums !
Merci pour l'entrevue !
I am flabbergasted, really. three such great drummers in one round table chit chat. priceless. better than any tv, or movie! for drummers at least ;)
RIP Mr. Blaine
Playing the song is what these three drummers are about, if only some of todays teachers would trade some tech for some soul.
RIP Mr. Blaine.
He and Steve Gadd...the 2 greatest. Oh....and Buddy Rich.
Hal Blaine 💫🎶
✨🌿Hal , What Au’ Guy !!! 🌿😎🥊✨R.I.P. !!!😃
Those white socks are rad.
Thanks for a great interview! Does anyone please remember what song Hal used to tune his toms? Thanks.
Hal knew how to tell stories.
.
Charlie doesn't say anything until 12:11
Charlie Watts just seems too polite to break in. The host should have had more control of the dialogue. I love Hal Blaine rest his soul but he could talk forever.
Once Hal gets on a tangent, he'll be there awhile... Ha! Great stories though...
