Synopsis:

Academy Award-winning filmmaker Martin Scorsese and the world’s greatest rock n’ roll band, THE ROLLING STONES, unite to bring audiences the year’s most extraordinary film event, Shine A Light. With special appearances by Christina Aguilera, Jack White and Buddy Guy, and four additional Rolling Stones performances not seen in theaters.

Directed by Martin Scorsese and documenting two 2006 performances that took place during the band's A Bigger Bang tour (New York City's Beacon Theater on October 29 and November 1, 2006). 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.

The concert footage is preceded by a brief semi-fictionalised introduction about the preparations for the shows, and is intercut 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). Musicians Jack White, Buddy Guy and Christina Aguilera also perform with the band.

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.

Most of the performance footage was culled from the second night of filming. All songs are written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, except the ones noted.

Additional acoustic instrumental numbers are also played during the closing credits:

Noting Martin Scorsese's frequent use of Rolling Stones music in his scripted movies, Mick Jagger has joked that Shine a Light may be the only Scorsese film that does not include "Gimme Shelter" in its soundtrack.
