Location
New York, NY

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.
