Shine a Light -3 Stars out of 5

Some great tunes, and very clear sound, but three big beefs. The interruptions of the concert with archival interviews. Talk about a loss of momentum. And these guys could be no less interesting to listen to, they are empty headed self-absorbed druggies.
Keith has a good sense of humor. BUT THE REAL gripe with the movie is 2 bits of direction (1) All the hot babes packed into the front of the stage. This is obviously for the sake of th movie, as there are no ugly ones, no black ones, and no guys (2) "selective mixing" way overdone, so when the camera hits Keith, his guitar is boosted in volume to a very annoying level, drowning out the other players, and the minute the shot moves to Mick, the guitar is unceremoniously dropped in volume to nearly inaudible,. Very disorienting.

Noticeable over dubs, where you her Keith cutting loose and see his hands aren't moving, Keith and Mick's voices sound better than ever. Jagger can longer hit the high notes, i.e. on Jumping Jack Flash...
