Well if you want it a riot then don't you deny it....

The Stones do punk 10 years before its time. The bit at 2:16 where Brian breaks out into hysterics is priceless.

75 Years - Happy Birthday !


Lewis Brian Hopkin Jones · 28-Feb-1942 - 3-Jul-1969 · Founder of The Rolling Stones

For sure - because the flowers and shrubs are not blooming in spring ....

Ethan Russel himself says the photo is from 1969: [shop.ethanrussell.com] .

The problem was heavily discussed before. Picture is NOT from 1969. On the April 1969 pictures he looks totally different. He was fatter in 1969 as well. Maybe some weeks before RnR Circus soon after he moved in?

I don't have a view on these particular photos, but photographers
(including Ethan Russell) do get dates wrong sometimes.

Yes - there're a lot of photos of Brian on gettyimages.com where the 'Creation date' says 1-Jan-1969, but they're certainly not from this particular date ....
