In autumn 2006 the Rolling Stones gave two concerts at Beacon Theatre in New York. Here, in the 2,800-seater old Broadway theatre that opened in 1928, we encounter living legends Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ron Wood and Charlie Watts. Before an enthusiastic audience that includes Hillary and Bill Clinton, the Stones present their hit songs as well as less known numbers. Guest appea??rances include Christina Aguilera, blues legends Buddy Guy and Jack White.
Shine a Light The Rolling Stones in concert, directed by Martin Scorsese
At its premiere, Mick Jagger joked that Shine A Light was the first Martin Scorsese picture not to feature the Rolling Stones' 'Gimme Shelter'. Actually 'only' three films have (most recently The Departed, which introduced Jack Nicholson's villain to the song's apocalyptic riff), but Jagger's wry gag rang true. From Mean Streets, with Robert De Niro's slow-motion, cock-of-the-walk bar entrance set to 'Jumpin' Jack Flash', to Performance's 'Memo From Turner' and 'Monkey Man' from 'Let It Bleed' scoring Ray Liotta's coke-fuelled paranoia in GoodFellas, the Stones have underwritten more of Scorses...
Still the greatest
I recently watched the DVD, having hired it from my local DVD hire shop. The Stones are the greatest rock group ever and this concert shows why. The supporting stars and the backing group does them proud. Nearly two hours of sheer enjoyment and a must to buy.
I have given this a rating of 5, would have been higher if possible.
Let's face it: Plenty of senior citizens are better dancers than Mick Jagger.
Strutting around the stage of New York's Beacon Theatre in Shine a Light, Martin Scorsese's documentary highlighting the Rolling Stones' 2006 shows at the relatively intimate venue, Jagger, who turns 65 in July, alternately resembles a hyperactive aerobics instructor and a guy who has had one too many at a karaoke bar.
That doesn't matter, of course, to fans who grew up and have grown older with the Stones. For Jagger and his cohorts, with the possible exception of drummer Charlie Watts, aging gracefully has never been part of the game plan. The band has sustained its liv...

I didn't enjoy this film much. I figured that since they were making a movie and everything that the Rolling Stones would have but more effort into the music. The band members didn't sing and play very well. The show looks really good and I guess that's what's important to most people. Mick's dancing was good. Keith looked like a mess and cool as hell but his playing was very sloppy. Not in the cool bluesy way we hear on the albums. It was a bad performance by the Stones. I love their albums but they're terrible live. It shows that if you use enough pyro, fancy lights and enough back up musicians you can still keep going and you don't even have to try to give the people a truly good show. The Stones have always sounded bad in concert and they still do. Good for you fellas.
