Summary: Disappointing
Comment: After having known Scorsese's earlier work like "Last Waltz" and recently "No Direction Home - Bob Dylan", I expected "Shine a light" to be of a similar standard. But it's mostly damp squib with the entire movie being about just one concert (all songs shown are played fully) with very few titbits from backstage and fewer clips from Stones' earlier years. This is not a documentary on the Rolling Stones but rather an extended dvd of one concert. Nothing really stands out here. All in all very avoidable. Hugely disappointing as earlier works like "The Last Waltz" and "No Direction Home" are like collectibles that can be watched several times over the years with their timeless quality..."Shine a Light" is nowhere near that..one watch and you can toss it in the bin...oh well...

Summary: Watch "Gimme Shelter" instead
Comment: The sound quality here is unacceptable. The picture looked great. But the concert was very predictible. And the performances were not very inspiring. I watched Gimme Shelter the day before watching this and it was much more exciting. To shoot Shine a Light, they had the lights turned up really high and lots of security at The Beacon.
But at Altamont, it was dark and crazy and there didn't seem to be any security. People were all over the stage, at one point a dog walks across in front of Mick. At Altamont, the band was sounding great. Anything could happen at Altamont.
It's nice that nobody was killed during the filming of Shine a Light. But all the IMAX cameras in the world couldn't make this performance fun to watch. And like I said, the sound quality on the Blu-Ray disk was really bad. They could have at least put high-quality sound on the disk.

Summary: Stoned in NY
Comment: The Stones work their magic in the intimate surroundings of the Beacon Theatre. A concert not to be missed.

Summary: Shine a light
Comment: a magnificent document for everybody who likes the Rolling Stones. In fact it's a "must have" but be carefull: although it is not clearly indicated,this product needs a DVD player that can handle both NTSC and PAL!!! So if you're in Europe: be carefull or buy a modern DVD player...
