Today (3rd September) marks the anniversary of the riot started at the band's 1965 Dublin gig.

Videos posted by ABKCO Records show 30 fans climbing onto the stage only 12 minutes into the gig, causing Mick Jagger to fall over and the rest of the band to leave the stage.

Shown from the footage of the 1966 film 'Charlie Is My Darling', the clip forms part of the following of the band during their 1965 tour of Ireland.

More footage from the tour has been made publicly available, showing the Rolling Stones playing some of their most well known hits.
