...and so it starts...

That is so cool!!  My copy is ok....but, to have it showcases like this....brilliant!

I'm unfamiliar with this. Will a dvd be available? Is there a setlist?

That would be great.  Ive never seen this and would love to have it.

Yeah, I'll have to upgrade my copy.

Mick and Keith drunk and making fun of Elvis is hilarious, as is Mick imitating the beginning of the Beatles "I Feel Fine".

"Don't call me a Burke."

"Who do you think you are...Mick Jagger?"



"The future as a Rolling Stone is very uncertain. My ultimate
aim in life was never to be a pop star. I enjoy it, with reservations,
but I'm not really, sort of, satisfied - either artistically or personally."


Although Brian tries to come off as the smart one, when the interviewer
asks him what "surrealism" means, he's hard pressed to come up with
an answer.

thanks to kowalksi on IORR for finding this on the following site regarding the Super Deluxe version :

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=UIBY-9121

The Rolling Stones' short documentary following their 1965 tour comes on DVD. Also includes unreleased live performances and more. This edition includes a bonus Blu-ray, two CDs, a 10-inch EP, a deluxe booklet, and a poster reprint (subject to change). The CDs feature the high-fidelity SHM-CD format (compatible with standard CD players).

(All product details, including availability, images, language(s), special features, and bonus extras, are subject to change without prior notice. Actual item weight may be different from the one indicated above.)

So are the 2 CDs going to finally be new Brian-era live recordings?

Oh Yes, I'm getting this.

Years ago, sometime in the early eighties, I saw "Charlie Is My Darling" in the theaters. It played before a showing of "A Hard Day's Night" at the Tower Theater in Sacramento, Calif.

I do not care for ABKCO.

Christ on a bike. I make that around 2 and a half hours long.

Three times the length of the cut of the movie that's been in circulation up until now!

Pity that it seems you have to buy the super deluxe version to get the audio soundtrack, but for quite obvious reasons, this might be the one of the pricier packages that I might go for.

obscure 'Stripes' reference lost on younger readers.....

The second CD seems to be an 'expanded' version of the 'Got Live if You Want It' EP which was recorded on the tour 6 months earlier.

The Rolling Stones 'Charlie Is My Darling' documentary to get official release after 40 years
Film will feature earliest known concert footage of the band


The 1965 The Rolling Stones documentary Charlie Is My Darling is set to be officially released for the first time.

The 50-minute film was shot in September 1965 when the Stones did a two-date tour of Ireland after 'Satisfaction' hit the charts. Although bootleg copies have been available, the film was never officially released.

However, as part of the band's 50th anniversary celebrations, a new, restored version of the film will premier at the New York Film Festival on September 29, Billboard reports. It features the earliest known professionally recorded concert footage of the band, including the tracks 'Satisfaction', 'Time Is On My Side' and 'The Last Time', as well as documentary footage of the band backstage, writing new tracks and doing impressions of The Beatles and Elvis Presley.

Showing the hysteria surrounding the band's early years, one track 'I'm Alright', comes to an abrupt end as crowds swarm the stage and the band have to be rushed offstage by police.

"We did some pretty serious science on this," director Mick Gochanour told Billboard about the restoration process. "It took eight months to synch up the [soundtrack] with the live performances…We realised during the middle that we had six complete performances" from the two different cities, recorded on long-obsolete three-track tape.

He added: "There were three tracks: the audience, Mick, and the band. The audience recording was slightly out-of-synch with the band, and when we aligned them, it gave unbelievable definition to the bass and drums."

The world premiere of Charlie Is My Darling - Ireland 1965 will be released commercially on November 6. It will follow the release of another Rolling Stones documentary, Crossfire Hurricane, which is directed by Brett Morgen and follows the band from their early road trips and gigs in the 1960s right up to present day.

Earlier this month, The Rolling Stones announced that they will be releasing a new greatest hits compilation, titled 'GRRR!', in November, which will feature two new tracks.

Full details have been announced of The Rolling Stones Charlie is my Darling - Ireland 1965, the previously unreleased film which will be in the shops and on screens in November as part of the band's 50th anniversary celebrations.


Charlie is my Darling will be released in Ireland on Super Deluxe Box Set, Blu-ray and DVD on November 2


Shot on a weekend tour of Ireland weeks after (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction reached the top of the charts, and marking the Rolling Stones' cinematic debut, Charlie is my Darling will be released in Ireland on Super Deluxe Box Set, Blu-ray and DVD on November 2.

The press release says: "Charlie is my Darling is an intimate, behind-the-scenes diary of life on the road with the young Rolling Stones featuring the first professionally filmed concert performances of the band's long and storied touring career, documenting the early frenzy of their fans and the riots their live performances incited."


Among the performances featured in the movie are The Last Time, Time is on My Side and the first ever concert performance of (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction.

Produced by Stones' manager/producer Andrew Loog Oldham and directed by Peter Whitehead, the 1965 director's cut of the movie was 35 minutes long and was followed by a 50-minute producer's cut in the 1980s.

Now a new 65-minute version of the movie has been assembled featuring additional footage shot by Whitehead and first-generation audio recordings.

Among the extras on the Super Deluxe Box Set are DVD and Blu-ray versions of the director's cut and producer's cut, more footage shot in Dublin and Belfast in 1965, photos from the Irish Photo Archive/Lensmen Photo Archive, articles about the Irish show, a 42-page book, a poster of the band's Belfast show, the film's soundtrack and a CD and 10" vinyl album of live recordings from the band's 1965 tour.

The individual Blu-ray and DVD editions of the movie also feature the 2012 version, the director's cut and the producer's cut.

There will also be a digital-only release of the 2012 version of the movie.

The Rolling Stones Charlie is my Darling - Ireland 1965 receives its world premiere at the New York Film Festival tomorrow, Friday September 28.

November 2012 broadcast premieres and theatrical screenings are also being scheduled for Ireland, the UK and the US.

Inside the Rolling Stones' 'Charlie Is My Darling' Documentary
Plus an exclusive new interview with former manager Andrew Loog Oldham
     
Inside the Rolling Stones' Charlie Is My Darling' Documentary
Irish Photo Archive www.irishphotoarchive.ie
By Patrick Doyle
September 28, 2012 12:50 PM ET

In September 1965, weeks after "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" hit the charts, the Rolling Stones landed in Dublin to play four manic gigs in two days. The band's manager, Andrew Loog Oldham, commissioned filmmaker Peter Whitehead to capture every moment. "Everybody had done a movie, even Gerry and the Pacemakers," says Oldham. "I wanted to get the Stones in the mood for dealing with the film business."

Now that remarkable footage – which rivals the intimate portrait of Bob Dylan in Don't Look Back – is finally being released as a movie. Charlie Is My Darling: Ireland 1965 (out November 6th) is packed with unseen footage of early Stones mayhem: boozy hotel-room jams, rabid stage-rushing fans and electric live performances of "Time Is on My Side," "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love" and "Satisfaction." "They sound like the Pistols in '77," says director Mick Gochanour. "It's raw. You don't get that sense from Hullabaloo and Shindig!"

Gochanour visited the Stones vault in London, where he found hours of the 1965 footage – including one mesmerizing scene of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards composing the folky Flowers cut "Sittin' on a Fence." "I almost had a heart attack when I saw it," says Gochanour. "The collaboration they used to have, which Keith talks about in his book, is right there."

Jagger comes off as remarkably astute and forward-thinking­ for a 22-year-old. "Young people have started a big thing where they're anti-war, they love everybody and their sexual lives have become freer," he says in the film. "A whole sort of basis for society . . . but it's up to them to carry on those ideals instead of falling into the same old routine their parents have fallen into."

Rolling Stone spoke with Andrew Loog Oldham about the film, his memories of the Stones in the Sixties and his take on new music. "All of our stuff and what followed is on top of the mountain," he says. "And the newcomers are struggling to get up the hill."

Why did it feel like the right time to release Charlie Is My Darling?
Without doubt, it is the end of a certain part of the Sixties as we knew it. We managed to put it off for so long, it was still amazing that this dream we dared to pursue still had legs and remained the foundation behind most new music. Age and the Internet were two hits to the body. We do not have a recorded music business in any way similar to that we grew up with; all of our stuff and what followed is on top of the mountain and the newcomers are struggling to get up the hill. So it's an ideal time for the movie, a representation of what life was like for both the musician and the music fan at the end of the first part of the Sixties. A few years ago, it might not have been as interesting – the end of certain parts of the game were a long way off.

In your book 2Stoned, director Peter Whitehead says that while you had the idea for the film, you gave him complete freedom.  What was your vision for the film originally? Why did you commission it?
Vision was not part the game, getting from moment to moment was. Everybody had done a movie – even Gerry & the Pacemakers. I succumbed to that pressure, which was a mistake because it involved following, not leading. Perhaps it was because I was infatuated by film. I just wanted to get the Stones in the mood for dealing with the film business and deciding what we would or would not do. I figured if they'd been filmed for a few days they'd be up for the crap that was to come. It was also a great opportunity to see which of the Stones the camera fancied, and it turned out to be Charlie Watts,  hence the title of the movie.  

Much has been written about why Charlie Is My Darling was shelved. From your perspective, though, why wasn't it released?
We were busy. We had to find a follow-up to "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," and that was "Get Off of My Cloud," then we had to have a follow-up to that. The world was very different then. You did not have all these systems that needed product. I think the BBC might have paid 500 quid for it, but they really were not interested. The Stones in the U.K. were still the unwashed and unwanted, in spite of the hits, and in the U.S. you did Ed Sullivan and Dean Martin. Anyway, I didn't want it out. I think Peter took the film to the Berlin Film Festival and some noted film geezer said that out of all the entries, Charlie is My Darling would be the only one that would hold up in 50 years time. Quite an astute dude. I think Peter was suggested to us by Sean Kenny, the set designer. Sean had seen his Allen Ginsberg film. Peter was perfect.

What was your idea for a later feature film on the Stones [after Charlie Is My Darling]? In your mind, why didn't that work out?
Once we could not get A Clockwork Orange, I lost interest. I paid lip service to the idea of Only Lovers Left Alive; great title, average tale. Anyway, the Stones were not really that interested. They knew what fit and what didn't. We didn't have to discuss it. Our world was changing at a tremendous rate. Vietnam, civil and racial unrest, Kent State, the second half of the 69's, drugs as a way of life. Charlie Is My Darling looked like "the Bowery boys go to Belfast" compared to what was going on.

Would you say there's a theme to the film?
The camera is rolling – do something.

What do you think about the newly-cut version of the film? How does it compare to the original?
It's a good time to see all of the footage, it would not have been then. I would not have wanted anyone to see Mick and Keith composing after a show in a hotel room. Now, well, Mick's late night rendition of "Tell Me " is something I wish he'd done in the White House. It's a great document to a time that would be done with by the end of '65; '66 was a completely different animal.

Interesting that you would never have wanted Mick and Keith composing in a hotel room in a film. Why?
Composing in a hotel room onscreen was not part of the process of the time. Only the result was required. Today, of course, is different and the process requires you put as much as you can on the table.

What memories does watching the film bring back?
Well, I saw the tailor who cut Keith and my tweed jackets quite recently. He was still on Berwick Street in Soho. I don't do memories, I do dreams.

During the brief 1965 tour, what was it like to be at the center of the Stones as "Satisfaction" was hitting the charts?
Hectic. I'm not being flippant – dreams had come true. The Stones were less "made it in America" as "made by America." America was wonderful to us. I mean, we recorded on Sunset and Ivar, at RCA, and at Chess Studios on South Michigan in Chicago. Nice going for three years.

What was it like?
Wonderful, once Keith and Mick came up with "Get off of my Cloud," meaning that there was no time to sit back and bask in the light of "Satisfaction." We needed another single released in a dozen weeks; that was the way the world worked. I know it works the same way today if you are Katy Perry, but in a reverse process: release first, singles later. I was amazed that when I first heard "Get Off of My Cloud," there was no absolutely no acknowledgement or nod to "Satisfaction " whatsoever. The band just drove right over it and said, "Here we are again!"

MoMA to Offer Stones Access By PIA CATTON


The Museum of Modern Art has no mixed emotions about the Rolling Stones. To celebrate the band's 50th year, the museum's film department is giving the British rock gods the full retrospective treatment with "The Rolling Stones: 50 Years on Film," a series meant to encompass the many ways in which the Stones have collaborated with filmmakers through the decades.

"Rather than trot out all of the concert films and music videos and the countless times their music has been used in film, the core of the show is dedicated to collaboration," said associate curator Joshua Siegel. "What's astonishing is the number of iconoclastic filmmakers they've worked with."


The series, set to run from Nov. 15 to Dec. 2, begins with a look back at the Stones' 1972 North American tour via Robert Frank's "S-8 Stones Footage from Exile on Main Street." Of a more recent vintage is Martin Scorsese's 2008 documentary "Shine a Light," which centered on a 2006 stop at the Beacon Theatre during the band's "A Bigger Bang" tour.

Film projects by individual band members are included, such as "Chuck Berry Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll," a 1987 concert film for which Keith Richards "produced a knock-out band" for Mr. Berry's 60th birthday, said Mr. Siegel.

The retrospective closes with screenings of Peter Whitehead's "Charlie Is My Darling: Ireland 1965," an early look at the Stones as they toured Ireland. Each of the more than 25 features and shorts—including work by Kenneth Anger, Hal Ashby, Jean-Luc Godard, Albert and David Maysles and Charlotte Zwerin—will be shown twice.

While comparisons could be drawn to the movies by or about the Beatles, the films that center on the Stones are not necessarily crowd-pleasing or ingratiating. Said Mr. Siegel, "They are messy and raw. Some are failed. But they have an energy that is thrilling."

Haven't found a complete listing online yet. I would assume that artsy projects like Godard's One Plus One and Donald Cammel's Performance would be included.

Anybody pick this up today?????? It got released today. I went to BestBuy hoping they would have the super deluxe edition but no such luck. I'll get it online.

I got it today, still haven't open it...
Have seen two tracks from the DVD on youtube. Looks pretty good      

Watched my copy of Charlie Is My Darling and thought it was fantastic! The concert footage and music were great, the interviews insightful, and watching keith and mick work on writing was also amazing. I could have done with a little less of Mr Oldham, but otherwise it is almost perfect. Wish it were of longer duration!

Just watched it...WOW.

I've had the 35-minute version for a long time but this is SO much better...although it doesn't have the embarrassing moment when Brian reveals he doesn't really know what surrealism is, which is puzzling. And the scene where Mick sings the guitar intro to "I Feel Fine". Or when he spilled his drink. I loved all of those parts.

But the old version doesn't have all of those AMAZING live performances! DAMN!!! Absolutely the best Brian-era live footage AND sound EVER.

The songwriting scenes are amazing, and ending with the only known live version of "I'd Much Rather Be With The Boys" was a nice touch which undoubtedly benefits Loog Oldham handsomely. Good for him. This is the classiest reissue yet!

I bought it and watched it, it's GREAT, a MUST for any fan and anybody, fan or not, a lot of unseen footage!!

Will buy the super deluxe version for sure

By EDWARD HELMORE

"They were fairly determined to not go beyond joking," said Academy Award winning playwright Tom Stoppard, after being largely thwarted in his effort to attach literary gravitas to the Rolling Stones' 50th anniversary during an hour-long discussion with the band at the Museum of Modern Art on Wednesday night.

"Like four recalcitrant schoolboys," said Bad Company drummer Simon Kirke, who was in the audience along with museum trustee Ronald Lauder, MoMA director Glenn Lowry and Walton Ford, the celebrated artist whose watercolor portrait of a gorilla, adapted with the Stones' lips-and-tongue, logo now graces the posters for the bands' upcoming five-date tour, as well as its latest greatest hits compilation "Grrr!," out this week.


"It's my first ever commission and it was fun to paint," Mr. Ford said. The band owns the reproduction rights, but not the painting itself. Is it for sale? "Maybe eventually. It belongs to my wife."

Perhaps expecting Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ron Wood to undergo serious cultural analysis in a museum setting was too much to ask of this premier anti-establishment bands.

Mr. Stoppard cited a study of 1,000 Floridian women of whom 984 had become pregnant listening to rock 'n' roll. "Immaculate conception, or were their husbands listening to it, as well?" quipped Mr. Richards.

The museum is currently showing the Rolling Stones: 50 Years on Film, including Peter Whitehead's "The Rolling Stones Charlie Is My Darling—Ireland 1965" (1965/2012); "Ladies & Gentleman: The Rolling Stones" (1974); and Kenneth Anger's "Invocation of My Demon Brother" (1969).

Footage of the band's live shows is also on view, including their astonishing live performance on the T.A.M.I. Show in 1964, topping the bill over a peeved James Brown, whose stage moves Mr. Jagger sought to emulate.

"I don't know how I had the affrontery to go on and try to do James Brown in front of James Brown, but that's youth for you," the singer said.

Mr. Stoppard presented a clip from Jean-Luc Godard's "Sympathy for the Devil" (1968) that comes closer in spirit to the Czech-born writer's "Rock 'n' Roll" (which looked at the significance of music in the Prague Spring of 1968 to the Velvet Revolution of 1989) than, say, "Shakespeare in Love." What did the band recall of making the film?

"I remember Godard set fire to the ceiling of the studio and we had to evacuate," Mr. Watts said. "Then he got into a fist fight with the producer."

"At the same time," said Mr. Richards. "Very French."

Apologizing to any fans of the film in the audience, Mr. Jagger conceded he found Godard's film "almost unwatchable."

"And the blood looked fake," recalled Mr. Richards.

Mr. Wood, a comparative later comer to the group (in the mid-seventies, after an apparently homeless Mr. Richards came to stay), recalled that he first seen the group at a blues festival in London in the early sixties. "I was lured toward a marquee that seemed to be moving like an elephant," he recalled. "And I thought, what is this animal moving to this beautiful music?"

Mr. Stoppard moved on to "The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus," another long-shelved performance film that has resurfaced as a Stones-aficionado period piece. Mr. Richards recalled he was assigned to play bass guitar while John Lennon and Eric Clapton played lead on the Beatles' "Yer Blues." "Like I always wanted to play bass!"

"So Keith's playing bass, Eric's on guitar and then we hear this awful wailing noise in the middle of the song," picked up Mr. Jagger. "And the camera pans down to this bag. The musicians aren't paying attention, but there's this racket coming out the bag and it's Yoko! It was her performance piece and she called it "BAG."

"Well, she's that kind of girl," reasoned Mr. Richards. "Bless her. She's a sweetheart."
