Stones photos to go on display

AMAZING photographs of the Rolling Stones playing in Dublin in 1965 have emerged on a new DVD.

The set of 14 never seen before snaps of the band capture them after the release of

‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction’, which would soon hit No 1 on the charts, propelling them to mega stardom.

The original images, which were shot by Lensmen Photographic Agency, which is still a prominent Dublin-based photography company, feature the band at Dublin Airport, performing at the Adelphi, backstage and at Connolly Station. The Rolling Stones photographs will be on public display in the mezzanine area of Terminal 1 at Dublin Airport from November.

They feature in a new box set and 42-page Collector’s Edition hardcover book that accompanies the DVD and Blu-Ray entitled

‘The Rolling Stones Charlie is My Darling – Ireland 1965’ film which had its world premiere in New York on Saturday, September 29.

The images were taken on September 3, 1965, when the movie was shot on a quick weekend tour of Ireland just weeks before

‘Satisfaction’ became the international anthem for an entire generation.

The Stones photos were recently discovered when the Irish Photo Archive was being catalogued. The archive is a treasure trove of more than two million photos, including many other celebrity photos that have never been published.

Charlie is my Darling showcases dramatic concert footage – including electrifying performances of

‘The Last Time’,

‘Time Is On My Side’ as well as the first ever concert performance of Satisfaction.

Candid, off-the-cuff interviews are juxtaposed with revealing, comical scenes of the band goofing around with each other. It’s also an insider’s glimpse into the band’s developing musical style by blending blues, R&B and rock-n-roll riffs, and the film captures the spark about to combust into the greatest rock and roll band in the world.
