Let It Bleed

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
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.
