SHINE A LIGHT

Shine A Light - I just finished watching this documentary (rockumentary, if you will) about a Rolling Stones benefit concert at the Beacon Theater in New York City a few years ago. It was made by Martin Scorcese, and although it is mainly a great concert movie, it shows a bit of the back story with Scorcese trying to plan his movie, the Stones waiting until the last minute to make any decisions, a before show Meet and Greet (which Keith talks about in his book), an introduction to the Rolling Stones by Bill Clinton, who attended the concert (it was to raise money for the Clinton Foundation), and clips from years past showing interviews with the band members in their younger days. My favorite clip was one where Mick was asked if he thought he'd still be singing at 60. He answers the question, then cut to Mick on stage now, just the ball of constantly moving energy that he is in concert. If you're a fan, there's nothing not to like here.
