    Random Thoughts on Shine a Light

    by Yogi Mi

    Great cinematography, editing, and sound, as you can imagine with Scorsese.

    It was great to see the Stones still moving and playing like it was 1967 (or better), but it was sad and almost heartrending for me to see their faces that look like they are ancient and half way in the crypt. But like the werewolf of London, their hair, it was perfect (how do they do that - wigs, implants, I don't know).

    Mick was really moving for the camera, Charlie is still great, and Keith was hot and better than I remember (he was running circles around Buddy Guy teasing him during his guest appearance).

    The audience at the show (at the filming) were a bunch of rich philanthropists and their debutante kids without the raw energy of most Stones' audiences (you know I can't move too fast or I'll ruin my hair).

    The audience at our show (the 5:20 Saturday at Universal) were dead and not moving at all. You may want to go to a later show if you can.

    Also, IMAX might be a scary for little kids.

    A Must See For Stones Fans

    The Imax picture and sound made for a terrific experience. The conventional screen and good sound at the Ziegfeld opening paled in comparison. The archival footage is slyly edited. The movie would have been better for being shorter, with less about the concert preparation, less about the Clintons, and less of Scorsese himself. But the onstage concert in Imax is a must see for Stones fans.

    Awesome sound system. It was better than actually being there. The Rolling Stones transcended
    time and space right in our face. I am buying the DVD and CD although there is nothing better
    Than the IMAX to see this concert. It will be a Classic Hit to be owned by all music lovers.
