I found this show to be quite terrible, even by that tour standards.

I liked As Tears Go By, Imagination, Shattered, All Down The Line (why is this version crap?) and You Got The Silver, too.
Surely not the best show(s) from The Stones, but it had its moments.

Scorsese filmed The Stones at their best in a small theater. This movie contains, to me, a lot of memorable and funny pieces of Stones history. JJF, She was Hot, You Got The Silver and BS are tops. A great moment. Thank you Martin for all you did to popularize The Stones.

When Mick stars talking about Champagne & Reefer and how it was done by Muddy, etc. it makes me cringe, those girls in the front rows probably have no idea who's Muddy Waters, who's Buddy Guy, etc.

If you think all Sal crap, sorry. But I am not sure you are a Stones fan.

Then just what is a Stones fan carlostone10? Because you are a blind Stones fan, if blind can be applied to hearing then you're blind at what is in SAL. But if you like it, well then, you like it. Most of us know they are nothing like they used to be - even recently in their history - but it's a real far stretch to say that SAL is the Stones at their best. They played some great songs but they didn't play them great - by any stretch of any imagination.
Although Faraway Eyes is hilarious with Keith being a total idiot and screwing up the words and goofing off to whoever. Can he not read the teleprompter?

Just sittin here on a Sunday evening watching my 'Shine A Light' DVD. What an incredible performance and sure glad they didn't put a bunch of homely hardcores (like myself) down front! The Stones and Hot Chicks, doesn't get any better than that!

1) The Rolling Stones aren't yours to be proud of.
2) It gets a whole lot better than Shine a Light, starting with Ladies and Gentlemen.
I saw SaL on an IMAX screen with some non-fan friends who said afterwards that I'm a better guitarist than Keef. Not a chance that that's true, but my hero's skills have diminished rather badly.
I bought the DVD of Shine a Light when it first came out, but couldn't make it all the way through it for a couple years. The performances are indeed cringe-worthy and make me hope they stick to archival releases (without any overdubs).

Keith's arthritis has diminished his technical skills a bit, but his experience compensates for it. The arrangements are getting better. It was always about FEEL anyway.

Yeah, Shine a Light wasn't that good at all

I love Shine A Light. And as for the models? Well, frankly I'd rather look at some fit young women than a bunch of grizzly old guys who think they should have been there for all their loyalty to the Stones!!
Those babes rocked. In fact if this Children of The Beatles/Stones thing ever gets going I hope they flood the audience with models.
