• Mick Jagger 3 Stories High
  When I saw Shine A Light in IMAX, Mick and Keith were 3 stories high and it wasn't enough. I had to go back and see it twice. This is the best rockn'roll film of the Greatest Rockn'roll band in the World. If they can't rock you, nobody can.

• Why did Scorsese direct this?
  First off, I am a world class Stones fan. I am also a Scorsese fan. I don't see what this great director added to the Stones legacy. There are plenty of Rolling Stones concerts from the last twenty years on DVD. The last two tours were heavily documented by the Stones themselves. This production is nothing special. I think some of the concerts filmed by the Stones are better. The only thing to sell this particular product with is the inclusion of songs not previously on DVD, such as Tears Go By and She Was... more info

• You get what you need...
  Well into his 60's, Mick remains a true rockstar... an immensely talented and amazingly athletic explosion of raw energy. In a polished performance (re-lived countless times over nearly half a century) the Stones still look like they're having fun. The beat is solid, the songs are tight and these old men make it look easy. Watch it and enjoy it. It can't last --time catches up with us all.

• Technical Issues
  The disc played in my Samsung Blu Ray player with great difficulty. At 11:19 it kept locking up, so I had to skip those chapters in order to see the concert. The menu caused my player, a Samsung with all the latest firmware upgrades, to lock up. Chapter selection was unavailable as were the extras. Why did they even ship this knowing full well it would not function with Blu Ray players- see other reviews about this as well. I am not the only one having problems with the bluray version.
