Let It Bleed
Thursday, November 19, 2009
Author and photographer Ethan Russell tells about his experience as one of only sixteen people--including the band itself--who made up the 1969 Rolling Stones tour, which ended with a stabbing death at Altamont, bringing the idealistic 1960s to a close. His book Let It Bleed: The Rolling Stones, Altamont, and the End of the Sixties includes interviews with the band and crew and more than 220 photographs.
An exhibition of photographs from Let It Bleed are on view through December 31 at Morrison Hotel Galleries 313 Bowery Street. More information here.

Can I hear the segment on the millions of prisoners in china? It was aired c. Nov 19,09
Caught the Maysles doc a little while ago.
The Hell's Angels had their bikes parked right in front of the stage. They rode in through the audience and parked - no wonder bikes got toppled over. And we all know you do not mess with a Hell's Angel's hog!
It was a recipe for disaster clearly caused by the Hell's Angels.
They thought of this as a private show for their own entertainment.
Why did he use a photo on the front cover of a 1972 concert?
