by “Shine a Light” is an as-yet unreleased documentary film directed by Martin Scorsese that spans the career of rock and roll band The Rolling Stones. The film also includes footage from the recently concluded A Bigger Bang Tour of 2006.
Scorsese filmed the Rolling Stones for two nights at New York City’s Beacon Theater on October 29 and November 1, 2006. Footage from the shows will be intercut with backstage footage, historical clips and contemporary interviews with the band. The shows were noted for their star-studded crowds, including former President Bill Clinton. The newly released trailer for the film also shows Jack White, Christina Aguilera, and Buddy Guy onstage, performing with the band.
