The Rolling Stones - Shine A Light reviewMoving from stadiums to ballrooms, the Rolling Stones performed two shows at New York's Beacon Theater in October 2006, filmed by Martin Scorsese for this documentary, which opens April 4. The accompanying live album captures the pure magic of a high-energy rock show performed in a small venue, offering a mix of crowd-pleasers ("Jumpin' Jack Flash," "Brown Sugar") and set-list oddities like the cheeky "Some Girls" or the feverish, rarely played "She Was Hot," which sizzles with mean guitar licks.

The first time you play Shine a Light, avoid checking the set list. Let each song surprise you. You'll ask, "Hey, isn't that the intro to 'Some Girls'? No way — 'Far Away Eyes'? WTF, 'All Down the Line'?" Like Bob Dylan, the Stones thrive on stage by celebrating the thrill of rediscovery — you can hear them seize forgotten gems from deep in their torn-and-frayed past or open up new pleasure zones in songs you figured they'd already played to death. Like any live Stones album, this one is about the World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band rediscovering how great they are....full text
