Shine a Light
My husband is a Mick Jagger junkie. He loves the DVD and has the sound track for the DVD also. It is wonderful if you like Mick Jagger. 2008-09-23




Well it is the Rolling Stones, but...
I give it THREE STARS because it is THE ROLLING STONES, but really it is a TWO STAR performance.
Well I hate to sat it but the reviwer "THE DUDE" is right. I love the stones music but it is like you say, time for retirement. Do they really need to keep on making money??? If Mick is so strapped for cash he can sell 5 or 6 of his homes. I have only watched about 1/2 of the movie and am having a hard time finding a reason to finish it. Sure the video is very clear (should be for an IMAX) and the sound is good but not great. They really are way past their prime, like 15 years or more past. The songs at times are sloppy and unrecognizable until they do actually sing a line clear and you go oh that's it. That Jack White dude was down right bad. They should have edited him out of the film. It may have been better with Jack Black singing and playing guitar. Buddy Guy was pretty good and I wish he had stayed out there longer. It seemed to wake up Keith from his coma. At times it looks like Mick is not happy at all and I think he knows they do not sound good at all. Can Keith actually play his guitar anymore??? Keith doing You Got The Silver was real bad. Like your drunk cousin at one of those karaoke bars. So sad.
I wish they would just hit the studio and do a couple more albums and by then you'll all be 70 and time to hang up the guitars for sure. Do an oldies rock n roll cover album. Do a blues cover album. Just don't hit the road again. It looks like Keith may very well hit the road...face first real soon. Your legacy is written in stone forever. We have all of those great albums up to Some Girls to play and enjoy. - Jim still sad after watching 1/2 of this show.

It's almost like seeing them live.
Martin Scorsese directed the Rolling Stones in this magnificent recent concert footage.
It's amazing that the Stones are still playing and agile after years of the rock-and-roll lifestyle. I hope I can bounce around like that when I'm in my 60s! Keith Richards even seemed "alive". To me you could clearly see how Johnny Depp patterned his pirate character (Pirates of the Carribean) after Richards when you watch this.
Some of the film shows a benefit concert hosted by President Clinton, who seemed so excited and happy to introduce the Stones on stage.
It's much cheaper than seeing them on stage. But, there's nothing like seeing the greatest rock-n-roll band live. My husband wouldn't take me to see them recently here in the 'Vegas area (but then again, he doesn't like my music). I, however, managed to see the Stones a few years ago---and all I could say was it was money well spent.
Buy this and turn up the volume. It plays great on a big screen with a great sound system.

Sad Sad Sad
The picture quality and sound was excellant. Scorcese did his job very well. Too well truth be told, This film showed the Stones warts and all. Lets face it we are all getting older and there comes a time when we have to hang it up at our respective occupations (it's called retirement). The Stones are old and this film has lifted their skirts over their heads and shows how pathetic thier live performances have become. With five back up singers and enough backing musicians to fill an orchestra pit the Rolling Stones have become boring, cartoonish, and laughable in their onstage antics and posturing. Spinal Tap has become reality. Charlie Watts is the only member who shows any class and dignity. Bill Wyman was the wisest leaving the band before they became so pathetic. 2008-09-20
