Plot Outline:
It's the Rolling Stones - as you've never seen or heard them before. This landmark musical event captures all the fire, soul and raw power of the World's Greatest Rock 'n Roll Band through the eyes and artistry of Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese. With classic band clips, exclusive behind-the-scenes moments and blistering concert footage (featuring special guests Jack White III, Christina Aguilera and the legendary Buddy Guy), this film is destined to be one of the greatest musical experiences of all time!
Shine a Light is a 2008 documentary film directed by academy award winning filmmaker, Martin Scorsese documenting two 2006 performances that took place during English rock band The Rolling Stones' A Bigger Bang Tour. It also includes archive footage from the band's career. The film takes its title from the song of the same name, featured on the band's 1972 album Exile on Main St. A soundtrack album was released in April 2008 on the Universal label.
Scorsese filmed the Rolling Stones at New York City's Beacon Theatre on October 29 and November 1, 2006. The music was recorded, mixed and co-produced by Bob Clearmountain. The concert footage is preceded by a brief semi-fictionalised introduction about the preparations for the shows, and is inter cut with historical news clips and archival interviews with band members. The shows, which were added to the tour schedule for the purposes of the film shoot, featured a different set list than was typical of other shows on the tour (see below), and were noted for their star-studded crowds, including former President Bill Clinton and former President of Poland Aleksander Kwasniewski. The film also shows Jack White, Buddy Guy and Christina Aguilera performing with the band.
Backstage at the October 29th performance, music executive Ahmet Ertegün slipped and suffered the head injury that ultimately led to his death. The film is dedicated to Ertegün.
Shine a Light was initially scheduled for release on September 21, 2007, but Paramount Classics postponed it until April 2008. The world premiere was at the 58th Berlin International Film Festival on February 7, 2008.
Cast: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ron Wood and Charlie Watts
