In 1968, the then-tour manager for the Rolling Stones introduced “the greatest rock and roll band in the world.” If half a century of packed stadiums, chart-topping albums, and worldwide acclaim are any indication, the Stones have more than lived up to the moniker; they are a rock and roll tour de force that shows no signs of stopping.

In conjunction with the Rolling Stones' ongoing “No Filter” tour, Morrison Hotel Gallery is excited to present Keith, Unfiltered. – a celebration of a legend amongst guitarists and the driving force behind a band that is the epitome of rock royalty. On May 23rd a special, invite only reception will take place at all three gallerylocations – NYC, LA and Maui. The exhibition will be open to the public May 24th through June 22nd.

In addition to the Rolling Stones’ current tour, Keith, Unfiltered. depicts half a century of the band’s renowned 1969 American tour, later dubbed by rock critic Robert Christgau as “history’s first mythic rock and roll tour.” It is only fitting that The Morrison Hotel Gallery celebrates this milestone with an exhibition of the many iconic images now essential to the fifty-year-strong legacy. Photographs within the exhibit showcase Richards and bandmates in classic portraits, candidly at work, and in moments of relaxation beyond the freneticenergy of the sold-out stadiums and screaming fans. Images such as Ethan Russell’s photo of Richards posed nonchalantly beneath a “Drug Free America” poster; a shot by Michael Cooper of Richards floating in a swimming pool at Villa Nellcôte in the south of France; and Ken Regan’s photo of a shirtless Richards quietly making breakfast in the kitchen at the Montauk home of Andy Warhol.

The photographers that will be featured in Keith, Unfiltered. are: Michael Cooper, Henry Diltz, Lynn Goldsmith, Bob Gruen, Michael Joseph, Art Kane, Gered Mankowitz, Terry O'Neill, Ken Regan, Ethan Russell, Norman Seeff, Stephanie Pfriender Stylander, Allan Tannenbaum, Timothy White and Charlyn Zlotnik.This exhibition will also mark the final opportunity for collectors to own one of the very last prints in an edition from photographer Michael Joseph’s historic Beggar’s Banquet photoshoot – one that is widely regarded as having produced some of the band’s most formative portraits. The prints can be purchased in-person or online.


If any of you are in NY, LA or Maui and want to go to the reception, email me.

Sounds cool, thanks!

Thanks for the info and the offer for the reception hook-up, roller.

Will definitely check it out when in NY in June as unable to hit any of receptions. Thank you kindly.

Thanks for the heads up.
I subscribe to the Morrison Gallery email list and have not seen any mention of this? Just checked the website as well.
I live in NYC and would love to attend this event.

Yep. Followed by: "a shot by Michael Cooper of Richards floating in a swimming pool at Villa Nellcôte in the south of France".

Sigh.
But leaving the nerdy details aside, sounds like a great event!

I'm sorry, my email was hidden, silly me.....

I've unhid it.

I've unhid my email.

I wonder if Keith will visit one of the Exhibitions?

Very cool of you to offer! I've emailed you re: the LA event

Roller99, I will send you an email. Lookout for an email from onecelt70@yahoo.com. Thanks

Thank you!

Thank you so much! I'll email you re: the L.A. event.

I can't accept any more requests for this unfortunately, the response was much heavier than I thought. If you emailed me, stand by for confirmation, should have it shortly.

No Stones fans in Maui? You don't all want Mick Fleetwood to be lonely do you? (he runs that one).

Thanks for all the emails fellow Stones fans!

Up until a few days prior.

Interesting exhibition.

Will it be possible to see the chosen photos in the net?

great event, too bad i have a conflict on the 23rd.
to those lucky enough to go, post some stories and pictures here!

Everyone who contacted me, I've put all down for a +1. For those who didn't, you can still attend. After the 23rd, it's open to the public.

My thoughts exactly.

I really want to know who their "1968 tour manager" was...

That quote attributed to me isn't my wording, it's from the press announcement, just to clear that up.
