Amazon.com:
Martin Scorsese leaps into the madness of the Rolling Stones’ organization in Shine a Light, barely controlling (in a most entertaining way) a documentary that culminates in the Stones’ best concert on film. The movie’s highly entertaining, pre-performance prologue finds a frazzled Scorsese trying to get a clue about the band’s plans for a very special New York City date in 2006, a benefit hosted by Bill and Hillary Clinton. While Mick Jagger quibbles over concepts for the stage’s set and peruses lists of possible songs to include in the show, Scorsese tries to figure out how to shoot something for which he has few production details. Everything falls into place eventually, and after an extraordinary meet-and-greet scene in which Jagger, Keith Richards, Ron Wood, and Charlie Watts catch up with the Clintons and sweetly introduce themselves to Hillary’s mom, the Stones launch into a set that leans less heavily than usual on their greatest hits canon. Longtime fans are sure to appreciate the wealth of generally-untapped material from Let It Bleed ("You Got the Silver," "Live With Me"), Exile On Main Street ("All Down the Line," "Loving Cup"), and Some Girls ("Faraway Eyes," "Just My Imagination"). Jack White, Christina Aguilera, and Buddy Guy are on hand for memorable collaborations, but the Stones all alone are truly on fire in the relatively intimate setting of a small theater. Among the highlights is a sexy and even thrilling call-and-response between Jagger and ace backup singer Lisa Fischer on "She Was Hot," Richards’ gracious and expansive solo on "Connection," and Jagger’s witty take on "Some Girls" (which manages to skip over the controversial verse about "black girls"). Throughout the show, Scorsese and an army of camera operators cover the action from every conceivable angle, which results not so much in another hyperkinetic concert film but rather in the kind of graceful, flattering portrayal of a great band that the director mastered with The Last Waltz. --Tom Keogh

- She's My Little T&A
"She's My Little T&A (Rock and Roll)" is a bonus song on the DVD. This song definitely should have been included in the main movie. Keith Richards shows another of his good sides while singing this number. It's essential rock n roll.

- Shine a Light
What can I say, the Stones are truly amazing. Jagger prances around with the stamina of a teenager and the music is solid as a Rolling Stone.

- Where is the sound?
After 50 years of listening to Rock and Roll it was a great let down to get sound quality from the 50's. Rock and Roll is all about the sound! Did they forget to plug in the bass player? No depth to the sound track at all. My mid-sixties original copy (in mono)of the Stones first US release (The Rolling Stones: England's Newest Hitmakers) is far superior in sound quality than this waste of money. The bands at my local live music venue make better sounding cd's in their garage.Shine a Light

- Satisfaction Guaranteed!
What a treat to watch this DVD!

It's not by coincidence that an individual or a group of people become so successful at what they do that they persist over years and decades even. Behind such success of this magnitude is at least one very intelligent person. Raw intelligence, I mean. Mick Jagger had already proven his raw intelligence by having been accepted into the London School of Economics and later dropped out to pursue a career in music. This is reminiscent of Bill Gates having been accepted to Harvard and even having won a second place in a mathematics competition in that same school only to drop out later to found Microsoft. These people are not only very intelligent but they have the will power to escape from the gravity of traditional wisdom.

- Make every song your favorite tune
For over two hours these guys make you forget they've been going at on stage for more than 45 years. Mick is as silky smooth as ever. Keith and Ron work their magic on stage and Charlie keeps the rhythm as always. The energy level is so high that Mick takes a break at one point, turning the concert over to Keith and Ron who do a little trip down memory lane with "You Got the Silver" and "Connection," before he struts back on stage for "Sympathy for the Devil." Many of the cuts are off their 1978 album, Some Girls, including a very nice version of "Far Away Eyes" with Ron Wood on dobro. Buddy Guy joins the boys on "Champagne and Reefer," with other guest appearances by a sultry Christina Aguilera, who Mick can't resist feeling up on "Live with Me," and Jack White on "Loving Cup."
