Phish from last night.
This week is Rolling Stones Week on Jimmy Fallon, and all week long the show is celebrating the May 18 re-release of the classic Stones album “Exile on Main Street.”
Each night a different performer will cover a song from the album (and hopefully a few surprises), followed by a special episode Friday featuring the debut of the new documentary “Stones in Exile” (see trailer above).
The festivities kicked off Monday night when Green Day opened with Rip This Joint (video), and later Taj Mahal performed a soulful Shine a Lite with The Roots (video).
I'll add videos of the rest of the tunes as they happen including Keith Urban doing Tumbling Dice (video), Sheryl Crow with All Down The Line (video), and Phish playing Loving Cup (video).
Update: May 13, 2010: Last night Mick Jagger and Keith Richards helped Jimmy with the “Pros & Cons” of Exile on Main Street. (video)

I recently came across a great post on Earvolution, where David Schultz wrote about what he believes are the “Eleven Most Resonant Live Concert Performances of all Time.”
A group of performances that had relevance beyond the notes that were played and resonated well beyond the time and place of their occurrence.
—David Schultz
I liked David's post so much I figured it'd be cool to capture all the great concert videos he recommended so you can watch them right here on Jamtopia.

In 2006, the Rolling Stones played two nights at the Beacon Theatre in New York under the watchful eye of not only some very lucky fans, but also legendary director Martin Scorsese, who filmed the shows for an IMAX documentary.
Lucky for you, you can now watch the show in the comfort of your own home when you buy Rolling Stones: Shine a Light on DVD and Rolling Stones: Shine a Light on Blu-ray.
An astonishing musical chemistry that has been evolving, with no signs of calcification, for nearly five decades.
— David Ansen, Newsweek
Shine a Light begins with a pre-performance prologue that includes an amusing look at some of the difficulties Scorsese endured trying to wrap his arms around the production of the show, as well as meet and greet between the Rolling Stones and Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Following that, you get a solid concert film that captures the Stones' Beacon shows including plenty of big hits, a few lesser-known songs, guest appearances by Jack White, Buddy Guy, and Christina Aguilera, and lots of intimate camera angles.
While it lacks the cultural context that made The Last Waltz so remarkable, Shine a Light is hard not to like — bringing together Scorsese and the Stones, arguably the best director and best rock & roll band of our time.
If you missed it at the IMAX (or if you saw it and loved it) you'll certainly want to buy Rolling Stones: Shine a Light on DVD or Rolling Stones: Shine a Light on Blu-ray.
And if you've already bought Shine a Light, you can shop for more Rolling Stones concert DVDs right here on Jamtopia.
