Summary: Loved it - next best thing to live concert
Comment: my love Norman and I watched this on DVD last night.
I was captivated! I loved it madly.
the direction was super, as we assumed it would be with Martin S at the helm. the little clips of history, interviews, and live performances. fabo! even meeting Bill Clinton (that was a suprise!) all fun. would have liked it they had cut to see if Hillary was rocking out during a good song, but, nope.
Mick Jagger - over 60 years old - wow - he still has it! OK, his face is pretty old and not pretty, but his body - mmmmmm - I wouldn't kick him outa bed. face it - he is SEXY! when his little black T-shirt would raise up and you could see his flat tummy, I just wanted to pat it. and all his moves - my gosh - what a work out. he is darn sexy and active for his age.
seeing the band, up close and personal, I kept saying to Norman - wow - they all have all their HAIR! and a lot of hair.
Ron looked good. 'ol Charlie looked good. Keith Richards, still can play guitar. wow - he is one ugly dude. I loved how he'd spit out his cig when done, cracked me up. the back up singers and sax players all great.
the song with Jack White - Keith playing acoustic - wow - I could cry, so lovely. and Jack - what a hottie!
the song with Buddy Guy - OH MY GOSH - that was sooooooo GOOD! I got chills. that was wicked cool.
Christina Aguilera singing with Mick - amazing. sexy. cool.
I was so into it, I started yelling at the TV - "play Satisfaction!" and, "they have GOT to play Satisfaction before it's over!" and so on.
I'm going to buy the DVD. love it. thanks, gramma Sally

Summary: Disappointing
Comment: After having known Scorsese's earlier work like "Last Waltz" and recently "No Direction Home - Bob Dylan", I expected "Shine a light" to be of a similar standard. But it's mostly damp squib with the entire movie being about just one concert (all songs shown are played fully) with very few titbits from backstage and fewer clips from Stones' earlier years. This is not a documentary on the Rolling Stones but rather an extended dvd of one concert. Nothing really stands out here. All in all very avoidable. Hugely disappointing as earlier works like "The Last Waltz" and "No Direction Home" are like collectibles that can be watched several times over the years with their timeless quality..."Shine a Light" is nowhere near that..one watch and you can toss it in the bin...oh well...

Summary: Watch "Gimme Shelter" instead
Comment: The sound quality here is unacceptable. The picture looked great. But the concert was very predictible. And the performances were not very inspiring. I watched Gimme Shelter the day before watching this and it was much more exciting. To shoot Shine a Light, they had the lights turned up really high and lots of security at The Beacon.
But at Altamont, it was dark and crazy and there didn't seem to be any security. People were all over the stage, at one point a dog walks across in front of Mick. At Altamont, the band was sounding great. Anything could happen at Altamont.
It's nice that nobody was killed during the filming of Shine a Light. But all the IMAX cameras in the world couldn't make this performance fun to watch. And like I said, the sound quality on the Blu-Ray disk was really bad. They could have at least put high-quality sound on the disk.

Summary: Stoned in NY
Comment: The Stones work their magic in the intimate surroundings of the Beacon Theatre. A concert not to be missed.
