Product Description

 
The music of the Rolling Stones has lit up the soundtrack to so many Martin Scorsese films ("Gimme Shelter" has appeared in no less than three of his features--GOODFELLAS, CASINO, and THE DEPARTED) that it's little surprise to find the director teaming up with the legendary rockers for this concert recording. SHINE A LIGHT begins with a few glimpses of the preparation that went into the recording of the show, which was staged over two nights at New York City's Beacon Theatre in 2006. Scorsese also includes some candid footage of the Stones doing a pre-show meet-and-greet with guests Bill and Hillary Clinton, which highlights some of the different personality traits in the band. Keith Richards and Ron Wood are the clowns, always goofing around; Mick Jagger is the consummate professional, always polite to a fault; Charlie Watts caries a real air of dignity, as befits someone who enjoys a dual career as a noted jazz musician.

The bulk of the movie is dedicated to the multi-camera shoot at the Be...

The Stones Lit By Scorsese...but Not On Fire. We Can't Set Mick Jagger on Fire.

Date of Review:  Dec 16, 2009
The Bottom Line: An extensive concert with many of the band's hits; shows them still kicking even while pushing their seventies. Great for fans.
Review: I think that The Rolling Stones are super humans who actually died ten years ago. In Scorsese's 2008 rockumentary, Shine A Light, Mick Jagger and crew still have the enthusiasm and vigor they had twenty, thirty years ago. This is a time capsule of...

Gimme Shelter

Date of Review:  Mar 2, 2009
The Bottom Line: The Rolling Stones will never leave the party- see this one for an update on how the band still pays the rent
Review: As big a piece of machinery as the Rolling Stones band is you might imagine that after 50 years of honing their craft they would be a brighter sounding tighter entity, but this documentary shows artists this legendary move in an atmosphere fueled by...

May the Good Lord Shine a Light on the Rolling Stones

Date of Review:  Jan 20, 2009
The Bottom Line: Do you really need to know if The Rolling Stones are worth watching?
Review: Martin Scorsese would certainly seem like a good candidate to direct a documentary about the career of The Rolling Stones. When you listen to the background music of some of his movies - Goodfellas and Casino mainly come to mind here - you hear the...
