 It's only the Rolling Stones but I like it, like it, yes I doJun 25, 2008
By Whamo
"Shine a Light" captures the Stones at the end of a long tour and even longer career. I saw them in Vegas about a week before this concert, and they were at their best. Mick Jagger's father had just passed. It's a great concert. I also saw this film the day it opened. I've seen the Stones four times, since the 69 tour, and all of their DVD's and/or movies.
Don't believe all these film school losers reviewing the film or wannabe rockers putting down the Stones because they're old. Imagine film school students without credits putting down Martin Scorsese! The guest stars, Christina, Buddy Guy, Jack White, rock. One might wonder why they should buy "Shine a Light" as they already own Stone's DVD's, a fair question. This film features songs from "Some Girls", the best Stone's album for 30 years: "Some Girls" (but without the lyrics about black girls who just want to get..."; "Just My Imagination"; "Faraway Eyes" (country song with hillbilly humor); and "Shattered". Christina and Mick make the best Stone's duet since Tina Turner and Mick mixed it up for "Live Aid" on the "Let it Bleed" album classic, "Live with Me". Buddy Guy gives the movie a party rousing "Champagne & Reefer", an old Muddy Water's song. How appropriate, as the Stones took their name from a Muddy Water's song. Never before on DVD have we seen the Stones perform Keith's song, "Connection", a very old song from the sixtie's "Between the Buttons" album. Classics from "Exile on Main Street" also spice up the film: "All Down the Line"' "Loving Cup" (Jack White); "Tumbling Dice"; and "Shine a Light". Two of my favorite old Stone's songs from the 60's are here: "I'm Free" and "As Tears Go By" from the "december's children" album. Never before have we seen the Stone's play the 80's classic, "She Was Hot". Beyond that their big hits, the standards, are all included: "Start Me Up"; "Brown Sugar"; "Paint it Black"; "Satisfaction"; "Little T&A"; and "Jumpin Jack Flash".
No, Mick doesn't jump as high or shout as loud as he did back in 1981, at his peak. But he still projects more energy onstage than most singers half of his age. Time may no longer be on the side of the Stones, but I am. I've been a Stones' fan since the 60's, and I see no reason to stop. The Stones roll with style, power, and flair. It's only the Rolling Stones, but I like it, like it, yes I do. Reading some one these reviews, you'd think the Stones came out onstage on walkers and couldn't play their instruments. Nothing is further from the truth.

BEST FILM EXPERIENCE OF THE YEARJun 09, 2008
By Laura
"Bookworm"
SIMPLY PUT, I LOVED THIS FILM AND ITS SOUNDTRACK!!!! You can not treat yourself to a better experience than this! From the opening introductory vignettes to the dazzling ending, I was just mesmerized. I'm not the world's biggest Rolling Stones fan, though I am a fan of their music (not so much their lifestyles), and I have never been able to see them live, but this has to be the next best thing! I was completely wowed by the stunning visual angles used in this movie, and felt that the soundtrack was an incredible overview of an amazing career. I saw the movie four times, including in two different IMAX theatres and each time saw and heard new things!
The Rolling Stones are quite an amazing group of people and watching their chemistry onstage was just awesome. I've seen a lot of rock concerts up close, and this one compares most favorably! What charisma these guys have, even in their sixties!!!! Everyone knows their musical and songwriting talent which spans decades, but watching this birds-eye view of their performing skills will knock you out. Every member of this group seems to have such a unique and interesting performance personality, and their intriguing on stage relationships with each other only add to the excitement. Buddy Guy, Jack White and Christina Aguilera were also amazing, each in his or her own right, providing clever and unusual foils for Mick jagger and Keith Richards. I will never forget the trancelike expression on Buddy Guy's face as he traded guitar exchanges with Keith and vocal lines with Mick. Even Keith Richards was clearly moved, as he gave Guy the guitar he had just finished playing at the end of the song. Maybe my favorite moment though, was the explosive introduction of Mick Jagger into the theatre during the introduction to Sympathy for the Devil. Gives me goosebumps thinking about it!
Even the backing members of this band were a true joy to watch and hear. Each an accomplished musician/vocalist, they added a depth and range to this experience that I don't think I've ever seen in a live performance before. Even if it is too late to catch this masterpiece in IMAX, see it on the big screen if you can. See it more than once if you can!!!! You will be amazed at the details you may have missed the first time around. I think I am first in line for the DVD and will watch it many, many times.

 Stones as boomer nostalgia....Aug 18, 2008
By Rusty Sharpedge
...with no visible baby boomers in the audience!
Not bad, but there are problems with this film:
1. Not a single song more recent than 1983, in spite of the fact that the Stones have released 5 albums since then. As someone who became a fan of the band while in high school in the 80s, I've always seen them as a still-working band and creative entity, not as a nostalgia act. How many live versions of "Satisfaction" do we need?
2. Fooling with mix levels; so that if I'm looking at Keith Richards his guitar suddenly jumps out of the mix and becomes louder, then fades back into the band when the camera cuts away. Lame. As if to tell viewers, "see, this guy plays the sound you're hearing now!" The height of this lameness is when you see someone in the audience hold up a camera (probably a digital camera) and the filmmakers have actually OVERDUBBED the sound of a vintage camera shutter being clicked...as if you could hear that over the band at full volume.
3. Audience seems to be stocked with young model-types, not real fans.
4. Offers nothing new that other recent Stones concert videos have not already provided. 4 Flicks is better than this in every way...and more honest.
5. Not enough long, lingering close-ups of the lovely Lisa Fischer.
Overall the Rolling Stones sell themselves short and Martin Scorsese seems to be stuck in the 70s

Good Concert DVD---but not GREATOct 18, 2008
By R. Morris
"Rob & Matt Morris"
This much-anticipated movie is good, but not great. It is too short, has too few extras, and the performances by Jack White and Christina Aguilera are not up to snuff. Only the blistering performance by Buddy Guy gives this DVD the punch it needs all the way through.
As concert footage goes, the pictures are sharp and clear and creative, as one would expect from Martin S, but one is left thinking it could have been so much better. I was fortunate enough to see the Stones during the Bigger Bang tour and the film does not begin to capture the raw energy of their live show---perhaps because this film was shot in the Beacon Theater in front of a small, obviously wealthy and pampered crowd rather than the blue-collar folks who made the Stones what they are.
As John Lennon once said---those of you in the cheap seats, feel free to applaud, and those in the front, feel free to rattle your jewelry.
This show does not capture the sheer joy of a Stones concert because it is so atypical of a Stones concert. The Stones played better in front of a million in Rio than in front of a few hundred in the Beacon.

Rolling Stones Know How To Rock n' RollJun 08, 2008
By Alan Kaye
WOW, it gets your blood rushing. Seeing Shine A Light provides you a front row seat at a Rolling Stones concert along with a back stage pass at the same time. Even a bit of a historic view of the Stones! The camera work is amazing. The Rolling Stones know how to Rock n' Roll like no other band on earth. They take Rock n' Roll they have done over the past 40 years and perform it in a way that allows it to be relevant Rock in 2008. It is primal and strong. Shine A Light even has country and of course, some great Blues. Buddy Giles number with the Stones, "Champaign and Refer", is amazing. Mick moves and rocks and Keith shows how he is a caring pirate. Ronnie is amazing and of course, the Stones drumming is constant and on track with Charlie. I'm 55 years old and the Stones start is up for me and my kids. AMAZING. Open your mind, remember your youth, enjoy good music and Rock out with your front row seats to a Stones concert by watching Shine A Light.
