Mick Jagger, Brian Jones & Keith Richards at press conference (Charlie is my Darling) | ABKCO Films

The Rolling Stones' Charlie is my Darling -Ireland 1965. What was once rumor is now fact as ABKCO Films presents a brand new cut, meticulously restored and fully-realized version of this first-ever, legendary but never released film. Shot on a quick tour of Ireland just weeks after "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" hit # 1 on the charts and became the international anthem for a generation, The Rolling Stones Charlie is my Darling - Ireland 1965 is an intimate, behind-the-scenes diary of life on the road with the young Stones. It features the first professionally filmed concert performances of the band and documents the early frenzy of their fans and the riots the band's appearances inspired. Charlie is my Darling is a rediscovered letter from a lost world. It has long been a holy grail of rock fans, surfacing in bits and pieces and tantalizing but frustratingly un-synched fragments. The band is shown traveling through the Irish countryside by train; dashing from cabs to cramped, basement dressing rooms through screaming hordes of fans. Motel rooms host impromptu songwriting sessions and familiar classics are heard in their infancy as riff and lyric are united. This new 2012 version of the film with added never-before-seen footage was re-envisioned and restored by director Mick Gochanour and producer Robin Klein, the Grammy Award winning team that brought the classic The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus to the screen. Charlie is my Darling's dramatic and stunning concert footage -- including electrifying performances of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," "The Last Time" and "Time Is On My Side" -- shows the band developing its¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ musical style by blending blues, R&B and rock-n-roll riffs, and captures the spark about to combust into The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World. Candid, off-the-cuff interviews are juxtaposed with revealing, comical scenes of the band goofing on one another as well as unsuspecting outsiders, and offers an unmatched look inside the day-to-day life of the Stones. Originally directed by pioneering filmmaker Peter Whitehead and produced by Rolling Stones manager and producer Andrew Loog Oldham, Charlie is my Darling is the lost preamble to a life captured on screen. Like no other band, the Rolling Stones repeatedly put themselves under the microscope, allowing the greatest filmmakers of our era -- including Jean-Luc Goddard, the Maysles, Robert Frank, Michael Lindsay-Hogg, Hal Ashby and Martin Scorsese -- inside their world. Charlie is my Darling is the invaluable frame: the unseen story of the band becoming the legend.

Brian's voice omg I could hear an entire audio book with that voice.

[tore]

I feel like Mick was trying to cut in some when Brian was talking. And then Keith finally did it.

[AB-mtnf]

It’s really clear how this band IS Brian’s. His personality, image, vision, attityde. That lifestyle.

[yolandaverrilli]

Brian Jones created the Stones which say's alot...forget about the drugs he did ...everyone was smoking pot or shooting up including Keith Richards but I honestly believe there might have been some proffessional jealousy among the band members, Brian was a genius and when you have that it can get you into trouble with you're peers, very tempermental, its too bad he died so young but left a tremendous legacy...

[eugenebarker]

Brian didn't really have to do much, his presence was felt

[tammiealmany]

Love this thank you for sharing 😌 RIP Brian 💝

[lamimatrinity]

Nope, sad to say I'm obsessed with this beautiful but deceased man....

[tampikosita]

his voice <3 i love brian and his hair and his lips all all <3 Fantastic¡

[lizshannon]

Well it looks like they all get along with Brian here, doesn't it..

[BasilHolly]

Notice how uncomfortable and pissed Mick looked? Clearly the camera was on Mick as 'band spokesman' but Brian was stealing his thunder as the elder and more seasoned musician. This occurred with greater frequency as the Stones gathered momentum and egos clashed. The problem: Too many chefs in the kitchen (both publicly and musically). Two writers were company (J&R), three a crowd. Solution: Adios Brian. It's all very Machiavellian folks but that's just Darwinism at work in a Rock 'n' Roll band.

[serenhafwilliams-davies]

I'm 22 & I feel so young as MJ & KR 🥰

[commentguy]

Mick was a good looking dude back then. 

[MlesJames]

Yea that does suck. I like Keith but he will never give BJ any credit. Over the years BJ has become my favorite Stone but I can't explain why, I just like his style

[MlesJames]

I agree. I love Jagger and Richards, I love the Stones but now there is so much stuff on the internet about BJ that I was never ever able to see. I always knew about BJ but not mush. It wasn't till the internet and sights like You Tube and others that I learned alot about BJ and he became my Favorite Stone instead of Richards.

[skylerbishop]

MICK!! hes was such a cootie when he was young! love him so much <3 and its about time i see a rolling stones press conference! :D

[kikiriisky]

I was born on 1995, but love brian Jones 😘

[PAULLONDEN]

Jagger & Richards obviously are brilliant, but without Jones to harress all kinds of showbusiness institutions and sweettalk ReadySteadyGo to give 'm a virtual residency in that very important show, the band probably might've been ignored for the inarticulate louts they initially were.Despite his later character failings, the band owes a huge debt to the man.The majority of the Stones themselves know it too obviously, it's only Richards who tries to rewrite history in his old age.

[PaulisVidal]

It’s very noticeable how Mick is a little irritated with Brian, I have been in a band in my high school days and yes egoism and jealousy is very real.

[TheaterPup]

"In 1966, I witnessed, on numerous occasions, the remarkable spell Brian would cast while working in the recording studio. Mick and Keith would bring songs in, Brian would listen and effectively take charge, and everyone was in awe of him. He was a real perfectionist. While recording the recorder part in Ruby Tuesday he explained to me that he had to do it over again as he had been a quarter tone off tune."--Prince Stash Klossowski de Rola (artist and friend of the Stones) in Brian Jones: Butterfly in the Park.

Brian’s voice was so cute I could hear The audio In the interview
