Opening to packed houses and rave reviews in the U.S., Europe, and the U.K., acclaimed author and photographer Ethan Russell's exhibition, LET IT BLEED: The Rolling Stones 1969 U.S. Tour, debuts in Australia through the month of September at The Blender Gallery in Sydney. The 80 piece selection of previously unpublished photographs provide a highly personal, intimate, behind the scenes look at "the worlds greatest rock and roll band" at the apex of the 1960’s music scene, culminating at the Stones’ Altamont Speedway concert in 1969.

Created by the only photographer to shoot covers for the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and The Who, the show also includes some of the last photos taken of Brian Jones before his death.

For more information visit The Blender Gallery. The exhibition runs until October 5th 2010.
