Let It Bleed : The Rolling Stones, Altamont, and the End of the Sixties

«Cette tournée, pour moi et beaucoup d'autres, c'était la fin d'une époque, la fin de la liberté, de l'amour et tout ça. C'était trop énorme pour durer.» Mick Jagger – Les souvenirs illustrés de 400 photos de la tournée des Rolling Stones à travers les États-Unis, débutée en 1969. L'auteur immortalise cette époque marquée par le sexe, la drogue et le rock'n roll et recueille les témoignages des membres de la tournée et des célébrités de la musique qu'ils ont croisées (Tina Turner, Chuck Berry, etc.). LET IT BLEED takes you where no Rolling Stones book has before. Author and photographer Ethan Russell was one of only sixteen people--including the Rolling Stones--who made up the 1969 tour. He was with them in their hotel rooms, at rehearsals, and on stage. He tells the story of this monumental and historic tour firsthand, including recollections from band members, crew, security, and other sixties icons--like Abbie Hoffman and Little Richard--they met along the way. And he also includes amazing photos of the performers who toured with the Stones that year: the legendary Tina Turner and B. B. King. Through vivid quotes taken from his interviews with the band and crew, and through more than 220 revealing photographs, Russell takes you behind the scenes for an uncensored look inside the Rolling Stones' world at the end of the sixties. It was an idealistic time, with an overarching belief that music could bring us all together. But the events that led to the terrible violence and stabbing death at Altamont would change rock and roll forever. This Book Goes Where No Rolling Stones Book Has Gone Before.
