Shine a Light displays, thrillingly and with the bombastic POP of a revisited 'happy place', why many love the Rolling Stones and many love the style of Martin Scorsese. It's mostly a concert movie shot over a period of two mights at the Beacon theater as if doing a workhorse revival of thirty years ago, while Scorsese was busy shooting New York, New York in 76 and doing the Last Waltz concurrently, this time he shot the concert while finishing up the Departed , with some choice documentary footage interspersed in between some songs.
On both fronts, however minor the all archival interview footage is, it's a big success, visually and musically, as good old rock and roll performance art well, almost art, but I like it , and as visual virtuosity made incarnate. It might be easy to adulate the Stones, as well as Scorsese. They've been around for so long, doing what they do, with each side rumored here and there to quit doing what they do for the Stones it's every tour, much to their grinning bemusement, and for Scorsese it was a point in the 80s when he thought he'd have to leave Hollywood and make documentaries on saints.
They're always acclaimed, usually big money-makers, and they've acquired a kind of nether-region between 'cult' audience and full-blown mainstream mayhem. It's this that is, in a way, the subtext for Shine a Light. While Scorsese stays mostly behind the scenes, the Stones are up and front and in center of a marvelous performance, and showcasing the energy and level of pizazz that quiets the naysayers.
They sold out, and it doesn't get to them a single bit. After some funny early footage of Scorsese shot usually in black and white DV by Albert Maysles, who also appears here and there getting into a minor tizzy about what the set-list is going to be, and getting some downtime with Bill Clinton, the show starts up like any good Stones show should- Jumpin' Jack Flash. For fans it's an amazing mix, and it allows for those who are just casual admirers to get their money's worth, primarily in IMAX.
This is not just because of the quality of the music and the performances- which is, at its best, revelatory of what this band can do, at any age- but because of Scorsese's cameras, moving around in epic and roving fashion, edited with efficiency to not go all over the place or too slow, and, chiefly, to make it intimate like how many remember the Last Waltz to be lots of neatly defined close-ups, lingering on to capture these hardened rockers.
And at the end, what is the point? Is it just another blah-blah Stones concert movie? Not necessarily. It doesn't have the heavy sociological context of Gimme Shelter, however it's not a little sloppy like Let's Spend the Night Together. Shine a Light celebrates its heroes, but it doesn't go completely overboard. Scorsese knows, as he did with Bob Dylan, not to get too cocky with these fogies.
It's important to throw in those bits with the Stones getting interviewed, candid and without much overbearing ego present, and by the end you know there's still a place for them, firmly, in the public consciousness. They sold out in the most ironically good way in rock music history, with Scorsese now wonderfully in tow.

Posted by: paulywaul. I had a private word as one does Posted by: bam. If they played the Satanic Majesties album straight through to promote the new release my life would be just about complete. I can't say I'm counting on that.

Posted this in the gig thread, but please let's have Let It Loose Posted by: Eleanor Rigby. Posted by: john lomax. Not slower ballads like "Winter" or "Let it Loose" are there that the band have rarely played which could be added to the set in future What other rarities are there I exclude songs like Winter, Let it Loose and Time Waits for No-one because they are they are too long, too slow and too difficult and I just can't see Mick wanting to ever do them.
Here are some possibilities there aren't very many and most are highly unlikely Ventilator Blues would be cool, and it's realistic to pull it off, too. The only problem might be re-creating the intensity in the vocals? Posted by: Hairball. And no Bobby to play the wailing sax solo no offense to the new guy. Posted by: liddas. If the set list was up to me, the following would be quasi warhorses!
Just imagine the four of them on the B stage or cat-walk whatever, Ronnie on sax!!! I would even add It Won't Take Long: it was tried maybe only once and it worked great! Posted by: Swayed Yeah, please pick up Parachute Woman again! It was great in , and it was great in !
Nice liddas - the first four on your list are essential!!! Posted by: Silver Dagger. They haven't played it live since 66 but I reckon iyt would be a hard one to do with all those syncopated beats.
Posted by: grzegorz Good track, but Lyrics are very controversial and would need revision if played nowadays. Or even Well known album tracks from that period.
