Rolling Stone (p.56) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "It documents the Stones on a historic roll, reveling in their mastery...When the Stones lock into classics like 'Brown Sugar' and 'Satisfaction,' it's gravy."
Uncut (p.102) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The Stones are at their best on the spoof country of 'Faraway Eyes'; and Richards' attack on 'You Got The Silver', with Ronnie Wood picking holes in an acoustic slide guitar."
Q (Magazine) (p.132) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "A word of praise...for Richards, whose warmed-brandy vocals are a treat on the rarely heard 'You Got The Silver'..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.103) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[A]s feisty good-time rock goes, the Stones get good and gone and it's worth every penny for the duet with Buddy Guy on Muddy Waters' 'Champagne And Reefer' alone."

The Rolling Stones: Mick Jagger (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards (vocals, guitar); Charlie Watts (drums).

Additional personnel: Lisa Fischer, Blondie Chaplin, Bernard Fowler (vocals); Tim Ries (saxophone, keyboards); Bobby Keys (saxophone); Kent Smith (trumpet); Michael Davis (trombone); Chuck Leavell (keyboards); Darryl Jones (bass guitar).

Several things are clear from watching Martin Scorsese's concert movie SHINE A LIGHT. One is that the Rolling Stones are old. Another is that they're still able to play with a tightness and vigor that stands up to the music being made by most current 20-something outfits. That energy crackles through the 16 tracks on the SHINE A LIGHT soundtrack, the film's sonic counterpart, which captures the Stones at New York City's Beacon Theater in 2006 in surprisingly stripped-down, feral form.

There's nothing flashy or pretentious about the Stones' performance, which helps highlight their unmistakably natural, time-tested ease playing with each other. Even dusty classics like "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and "Brown Sugar" come off with flair, and lesser-played gems like "Faraway Eyes" and "You Got the Silver" are a welcome treat. The guests-the White Stripes' Jack White on "Loving Cup," Buddy Guy on the Muddy Waters' classic "Champagne and Reefer," and Christina Aguilera on a fiery version of "Live With Me"-enliven the band, and provide some of the album's best moments. Given the amount of live Stones' material available, and the band's already towering legend, the necessity of such a set may be debatable, but it's hard not to hear this for what it is: a good rock show from a band that knows its stuff.

The Rolling Stones - Shine a Light

Most movie-goers recognize Martin Scorsese as being a "tough-guy" director, with an occassional soft-spot for historical drama. We think of Robert Deniro, Joe Pesci, and Leonardo DiCaprio - the big brooding leading men that Scorsese regularly picks for his cinematic muses. What may be surprising to some, however, is Scorcese's love affair with the Music Documentary Genre, a passion that may be on par with his love for New York City Gangsters.

He first tackled the story of Robbie Robertson and the Band in what may be the finest rock n' roll concert film ever, 1978's The Last Waltz. Now, thirty years later, Scorcese has picked another group of rock legends to spotlight - the immortal Rolling Stones - in his new documentary Shine a Light. This film, currently in theatres, documents the Rolling Stones' performances in New York City's Beacon Theatre on October 29th and November 1st, 2006 and features the Stones performing their bank of hits alongside special guests Jack White (of the White Stripes), Blues legend Buddy Guy, and former teen-pop starlet Christina Aguilera. In recent press interviews, Mick Jagger has been quoted as saying that, surprisingly to some, Aguilera was among his favorite duet partners - "Christina Aguilera is such a great singer, so I loved that. She was really on it. She delivers." (Maxim, April 2008.)

This Deluxe Edition 2-Disc CD Set contains 22 live tracks and special edition packaging. Experience the magic of these performances with every single track from Scorcese's film, plus 4 bonus tracks from the shows that were not included in the film- "Paint It Black", "Little T&A", "Shine A Light" and "I'm Free."
