Shine A Light - Stones/Scorcese

Recommended Posts

I just came back from watching Shine A Light, Scorcese's new Stones film of their two concerts at the Beacon Street Theatre in New York.

LOVED it! But then, I'm an old Stones fan. I'd say that if you don't know anything about the Stones it would be a great history lesson. It rocked hard, was hilarious at times and Scorcese's use of old footage and interviews was excellent.

Champagne and Reefer with Buddy Guy is worth the price of admission!

For me, the only thing I wished it had was Gimme Shelter.

I spent about $500 for a twelfth row seat when the Stones visited Regina, Saskatchewan in 2006 - seeing this in a theatre is just about as good as seeing them live and at about 1/50 the cost! :)
I think the big screen and sound system is worth going to a theatre for.

Thanks for the tip...didn't even know about this movie. Scorsese is my favorite director and the Stones have been one of my favorite bands since I was a kid...will definitely check this out soon.

Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

I think it is a limited time engagement. It is only playing here for a week. I'll likely go again in the next few days.

Just saw it at the local IMAX. WOW! So much high energy and it is clear how much they enjoy playing together...Keith's head 4 stories tall-- you can almost fall into the creases in his face:o

and what a sound system that IMAX has!
Between this movie and the recent U2/3D we have really enjoyed the IMAX experience.
