Shine A Light : Four Devils and One Crossroad

Meet Mick 63, Keith 63, Ronnie 59, and Charlie 65, sounds like a good starting four for a nursing home, but they are still ....the Rolling Stones, and boy they had it Rolling for almost half a century, and under the Camera of Marty Scrorsese 65, one of the best when it comes to film a buddy band such as Goodfellas and Casino, you an imagine that the result would be.... satisfactory.

A lot of people Believe Mick Jagger is the devil, and that would be because the stones had always this develish delta of mississipi, Robert Johnson feel, and that's because the band was always so Bluesy, and the blues was always meeting the devil at the crossroad and selling him one's soul in exchange of musical prodigy

So even for a non stones person (like me) it's hard to ignore the influence this band had on popular music and the whole concept of "cool", they were always kind of aware of the huge heritage of American blues and folk and country music, and they really could channel it into something unique, but why am I talking about what everybody knows already, let's talk about the concert itself.

The Film documents two performances of the Stones at the beacon theater in 2006, with archival snippets, and the concept really is "who thought we'd make it that far without becoming a cartoon of ourselves", yes people it's true, the stones are , like them or don't, true to their legend

the performance is beautifully filmed, in the format of the concert movie, of which scorsese is a fan, since he was an editor in his youth on the most influential "the last waltz", the guest stars are Jack White, the only man of this generation who can really perform with the Stones or Dylan and not be ashamed of himself, and Blues legend Buddy Guy.

you can't help it but be blown away by the powerful performance this sixty something people are giving, it's quite incredible that at the age of sixty they still have it to that extent, and of course you will be blown away by Robert Richardson cinematography, or Scorsese's attention to detail, and i am sure this is the closest you can ever be to attend a live performance of the stones

So missing this would probably be a sin, even for people who hate the Stones, and frankly I am sure now that these four guys signed a deal with the devil, because it's logically impossible to be relevant to that level at that age in this time.

But .... why Christina Aguilera.... she doesn't belong in a stones concert
