Shine a Light

Hi - just got my copy from Amazon - should there be a booklet included with the disc? My copy did not have one and it appears that the package was not sealed so I'm wondering if I should return it...Thanks in advance!

Scorcese and the Stones are both titans in their vocations. With this stature comes a natural creative tension, humorously played up in the start of the film as Scorcese begs for a set list and the Stones mischeviously hold out on him. The show itself is very good, but we have all seen Stones films before.

The biggest, baddest band of all time can still crank out the energy and volume, but it is in the quiet moments that Scorcese's efforts really pay off. He sprinkles in old interview footage that is ironic, funny and insightful, particularly in the present day follow-up. I have been a Stones fan for a long time and the film only enhanced my belief that these guys are really talented and very smart, often toying with all of us as they do their thing.

Do not miss the extra footage: Great footage of the soundcheck; despite the reputation, these guys are consumate professionals who really love their work. Scorcese requested Factory Girl, which did not make the movie, but Ronnie, Keith and Mick jam on it with no one around. Funny and real exchanges with the band and Buddy Guy and Bill Clinton. Keith quietly noodling on stage, pleased to be doing what he loves to do; eyes closed, picking away. Now that is something I could watch all day.

awesome, mind blowing, unbelievable. If anyone rates it under 5 stars, s/he's insane.
Watched it on the theatre, got the soundtrack and now the dvd as well. They all rock.

Buy it!
it's only rock n roll!!!!

An awesome demo of what's possible with Blu-ray. Looks and sounds wonderful. Scorsese did an amazing job too.

I have seen the Stones many times over many years(winterland with stevie wonder the opener in 1970,a limited crowd because altamont had been there previous concert here,that was the best),this dvd captures the magic!
