OK. So this pic was taken from a photo session to promote the Altamont free concert. And to the best of my knowledge this the only pic I've ever seen of the Stones with a motorcyle in it.
Eerie coincidence?
and then, off to the side is a naked women. Odd, no?
and Mick looks so depressed
strange forshadowing?
think about it...

Cool Harley! and a chopper at that. My favorite! I guess it had already been determined that the Hells Angels were going to cover the Stones for the concert? Did any of the boys even ride? I've seen Mick on a bike, but it wasn't a Harley. |

I've seen Mick on a scooter with Bianca looking sufficiently pissed off!

...and that oh-so-cool Tarlé photo of Mick riding his motorcycle in Nellcote!
Dunno about the forshadowing thing... Al I can see in this pic is that it's one of the dumbest promo shots the Stones ever did. IMHO, of course. |

No you're right, I remember seeing a pic where the girl's body is not cut by the frame. In the version I've seen, Mick looks at her (or right through her, actually). |

I seem to recall seeing it in "Dear Mr Fantasy". But its not listed as an Ethan Russell photo. So that cant be it.
maybe the photo book that had a lot of pics of the Stones with Gram at Joshua Tree - forget the name - it had a forward by Terry Southern and passages by Keith and Anita |

Well...that all depends on what one means by "the end". The Stones have built up enough inertia to carry them into eternity. I doubt they'll ever be topped as a rock n roll act. |

But we will never hear another great album or concert performance from them..creatively, they are as dead as Ted Williams frozen head. |

Well I can't agree with you on that JB. I mean you might be right but IMO opinion noone actually controls "creativity" it just happens....of course certain pieces have to be in place but the "Great Albums" almost happen by accident....or at least it seems that way to me. |

There's also a pic of Keith on a motorcycle in Tony Sanchez's book. He's stopped...and he is standing up with both arms in the air. |

i have no clue what its foreshadowing? but i think this is probably the oddest pic of the stones. they all look so depressed, by a pool, motorcycle and a naked chicks sittin in front of them and not one of them is staring at her. who is she by the way? strange, strange pic

wasnt that pic taken at Stephen Stills' house in Laurel Canyon?
The Stones used it to rehearse for the '69 tour... |

I was surprised nobody else had posted it, SIA. Yeah...it's that dirt bike from Redlands. After reading about how Keith drove his cars, I'm glad he never got interested in motorcycles! |

Yeah Gazza your right. Stephen Stills did own that house it's the one on Oriole Drive that Stanly Booth talks about so much in "True Advetures". I personally think it's a pretty cool promo shot given the time and era that it was taken.

Whatever. It's genius! Five guys looking nonchalant in front of a naked chick. It takes talent to create that...then throw in a motorcycle to make the guys appear rebellious. |

Speaking of foreshadowing, Stills house looks just like the house the Manson nutcases killed all those people in the Sharon Tate/LaBianco murders of 1969
This photo had to be taken within a month or two of that
right down the road

I like the cropped version of the photo in the header, it looks cool, especially Keith on the bike.
For some reason that bike reminds me of an Evel Knievel stunt cycle toy I used to have
A Keef Knievel one woulda been killer

Contradict me once again and I'll start a RO chick clique schism!!
Actually, I can't even say why I dislike the photo. Maybe it's the motorcycle/rebellious thing indeed. Or maybe it's the fact that Charlie and Mick T. obviously don't know what to do with the whole situation. And I dislike the fact that the girl is just sitting there doing nothing. I mean, she's got 5 Stones and a motorcycle in front of her! The possibilities are endless. Jump on top of Mick! Make Bill fall from his chair! Steal the bike! |

Saint Sway, the book with Terry Southern, Keith and Anita's commentary is in "The Early Stones" and the photo isn't. I swear I've seen another take of the same photo. hmmm... I love Keith's long leather coat, the sunglasses and his general ambiance but, I don't think he's used to having a Harley between his legs. |

SASSY!
They should have put clothes on the chick, and had the Stones naked, huddled in a corner, and the chick on the motorcycle about to run them over. |
