Not a blindingly bright light but a multifaceted ray
The film portion of Shine a Light (documentary style old interview clips et.) is woven nicely into the surprisingly theatrical set of live music. The guest spots are hit and miss, Buddy Guy steals the entire show, and walks away with Keith's guitar in the process. Martin Scorcese "character" director gets his personality into more than just the lens this time and is a character in the film at the beginning at least. The music hums along and it takes awhile to get going but by the middle of this set when Mick starts to really perform (Far Away Eyes) that this film turns into a truly theatrical and cinematic experience. At moments a true rock show that encompasses a gargantuan career on both sides of the camera, it might not be lightning in a bottle but its some kind of thunder in a jar at the very least. Recommended & worth owning
