classicrawker Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Here's more information about the films release on ABKCO's web site. www.abkco.com"World Premiere of The Rolling Stones Charlie is my Darling - Ireland 1965 at New York Film Festival. Box Set out Nov. 6Posted on Aug 27th, 2012Visit the New York Film Festival WebsiteABKCO FIlms and the 50th New York Film Festival are proud to join in the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Rolling Stones by announcing the World Premiere of The Rolling Stones Charlie is my Darling - Ireland 1965 on Saturday, September 29th at 7:00 PM. An encore screening of the film will take place on Wednesday, October 3rd at 8:30 PM. Both screenings are scheduled for the Walter Reade Theatre.What was once rumor is now fact as ABKCO Films presents a 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 the Rolling Stones’ “(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 directed 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 Godard, 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.ABKCO Films will be making a major announcement regarding a nationally televised Broadcast Premiere in the next few weeks and has set Tuesday November 6th as the commercial retail release date for The Rolling Stones Charlie is my Darling – Ireland 1965, the director’s cut, the producer’s cut and this new 2012 version will be available on DVD, Blu-ray and as part of a Super Deluxe Box Set.Walter Reade Theater165 West 65th Street (between Broadway and Amsterdam, upper level)Monday – Friday: 12:30 p.m. – 15 minutes after the start of the last screening of the day.Saturday and Sunday: 30 minutes prior to start of first screening of the day - 15 minutes after start of last screening of the day.

dalsh327 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Saw clips from it, never saw the whole thing, if they're doing a whole new edit to it, should be a really good one. Have no idea what else ABKCO has in the vaults as far as other artists go, but hopefully they're going to be putting more out in the near future. They took forever putting the Jodorowsky DVDs out.

classicrawker Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) Really looking forward to this release................If ABKO owns the 60's material I would love to hear a complete 1969 mutlitrack US tour show and see more of the footage the Maysles Brothers claim to have shot back then. They supposedly recorded and video'd a number of shows from that tour so someon must have the stuff in the vaults....

They supposedly recorded and video'd a number of shows from that tour so someon must have the stuff in the vaults....Albert Maysles is still around making documentaries and makes appearances (mayslesfilms.com) , but with a "Ya Yas" box set and Blu Ray of "Gimme Shelter", I don't think they'll put out more footage. People have been trying to get the audio of Tina Turner and Janis Joplin singing together out of the Stones' vaults for years. The upcoming Stones documentary is supposed to have a lot of material no one's seen before, so odds are some of it will be from the 1969 tour. I think with more of the vault being opened, there will be more 1969-1970 shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zint Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 This arrived by UPS today.Cracked the box and immediately got a huge grin. Package is awesome!The deluxe set is well worth it, man, this is really REALLY cool!I put the blu-ray on and by the time they hit the stage I had goosebumps.The chaos is off the hook, spontaneous, real...THIS is the roots of punk rock's reckless abandon.LEN...you gotta see this!To the casual fan, beware...LOTS of behind the scenes footage, sitting around jamming and drinking.It's not all live footage.To me, every second of it is excellent.The restoration is very well done. (another bootleg retired)Heading out in the car in a while, I'll take one of the live cd's with me.Just.fucking.so.cool!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
