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 Beacon, which captures the Stones playing



some of their biggest hits and a few lesser-known numbers. Special guests



such as Jack White, Buddy Guy, and Christina Aguilera are ushered on at



various points in the show, and the concert footage is broken up by some



amusing vintage footage of the band. By using so many cameras, Scorsese



captures a side of the Stones that is rarely seen, such as Watts turning to



camera and puffing out his cheeks and Richards offering encouraging words



to Jack White as he exits the stage. SHINE A LIGHT provides a welcome glimpse



into the Stones' world at this advanced stage in their career, and continues



Scorsese's obsession (see also: NO DIRECTION HOME and THE LAST WALTZ) with



documenting some of the most influential characters in rock & roll.
