Shine A Light Bits
Some Quotes:
Jagger: We thought Buddy Guy was a great person to have. We’d played with him before. With the other guests, Jack White had already opened the show for us on many occasions so we knew him. It’s best to have people you know so only Christina Aguilera may have been a gamble, but she’s got a fantastic voice.
Watts: I thought Christina Aguilera was amazing, because often those girls freeze when they dance with Mick. We’ve had some great people - including our dear Amy Winehouse, although I don’t think she was quite well - who were never as good as Christina.
Mick: Christina Aguilera is such a great singer, so I loved that. She was really on it. She delivers. I also really love Mary J. Blige. I know she’s done duets with U2 and everyone else, and I love her vocal style. Shes on my music wish list.
A Review:
Shine a Light was filmed over two nights at New York’s relatively intimate Beacon Theatre in the fall of 2006 (during Bill Clinton’s celeb-filled birthday bash). It features 20 of your favorite Stones hits, plus special guests Jack White, who joins in on Loving Cup; Christina Aguilera, who unleashes her powerful wail on Live With Me; and blues legend Buddy Guy, who appears on a cover of Muddy Waters’ Champagne & Reefer. The film also features backstage glimpses and plenty of archival footage and interviews, though from what I’ve read, it glosses over the entire Brian Jones era.
