Martin Scorsese leaps into the madness of the Rolling Stones’ organization in Shine a Light, barely controlling (in a most entertaining way) a documentary that culminates in the Stones’ best concert on film. The movie’s highly entertaining, pre-performance prologue finds a frazzled Scorsese trying to get a clue about the band’s plans for a very special New York City date in 2006, a benefit hosted by Bill and Hillary Clinton. While Mick Jagger quibbles over concepts for the stage’s set and peruses lists of possible songs to include in the show, Scorsese tries to figure out how to shoot something for which he has few production details. Everything falls into place eventually, and after an extraordinary meet-and-greet scene in which Jagger, Keith Richards, Ron Wood, and Charlie Watts catch up with the Clintons and sweetly introduce themselves to Hillary’s mom, the Stones launch into a set that leans less heavily than usual on their greatest hits canon. Longtime fans are sure to appreciate the wealth of generally-untapped material from Let It Bleed ("You Got the Silver," "Live With Me"), Exile On Main Street ("All Down the Line," "Loving Cup"), and Some Girls ("Faraway Eyes," "Just My Imagination"). Jack White, Christina Aguilera, and Buddy Guy are on hand for memorable collaborations, but the Stones all alone are truly on fire in the relatively intimate setting of a small theater. Among the highlights is a sexy and even thrilling call-and-response between Jagger and ace backup singer Lisa Fischer on "She Was Hot," Richards’ gracious and expansive solo on "Connection," and Jagger’s witty take on "Some Girls" (which manages to skip over the controversial verse about "black girls"). Throughout the show, Scorsese and an army of camera operators cover the action from every conceivable angle, which results not so much in another hyperkinetic concert film but rather in the kind of graceful, flattering portrayal of a great band that the director mastered with The Last Waltz. --Tom Keogh

"Can you picture yourself doing this at the age of 60?"
"Yeah, sure."
I thought that was the neatest line in this concert-documentary when Mick Jagger gave an honest and prophetic answer to that question, some 30 or more years ago (maybe closer to 40!). We see that short interview here on this concert DVD.
Not only Mick but Keith Richard, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood just keep going and going and going. Anyway, this film is 95 percent concert and five percent ... Read More

My problem with this is in both the performance and the filming. I can understand that The Stones have played some of these songs to death, But when they just slop through the parts, ignoring the original precision of how they put they notes together to create such great songs, its just disappointing. If you hear a performance of Beethoven's 9th Symphony where the musicians just having fun "estimating" the original written parts, it would suck. As much as I hate to say it, I'd rather listen a sound ... Read More

As a long time Rolling Stones fan, I enjoyed this movie quite a bit (watched it three times in a week). It's not as personal or insightful as Scorsese's "Last Waltz" was for The Band back in the 70's, but it is a good glimpse at the Rolling Stones today, in the twilight of their very long and impressive career. The music is interspersed with some old television footage, mildly personal glimpses behind the scenes, and a few interviews with the performers. It's all beautifully shot and edited by Scorsese ...

My favorite parts of this film were Scorsese's work, the early archival footage and interviews (and Buddy Guy's appearance). The performance itself was somewhat lacking compared to their earlier work. Now I have to say I'm a tad jaded, having seen them perform half a dozen times from their Sticky Fingers tour, to as recently as 15 years ago. and, much as I hate to say it, their age is showing; the energy just wasn't there and I felt on several occasions that they'd done a certain song too many times and ...
