Get "Butterfield Original Lost Elektra Sessions" Instead June 8, 2008 Broken Boy 1949 (Cherry Hill, NJ USA) 0 out of 11 found this review helpful
"Shine A Light" is a very sad testament to a once great band. Supposed to highlight their extensive back catalog, yet nothing here written since since early-mid 1980's. Highlight is "Jumpin' Jack Flash" with original organ/synthesizer part played on guitar. All down hill thereafter... Don't participate in supporting this. Your money is much better spent on the referenced Butterfield disk.
A little disapointed July 30, 2008 Renzi Hernandez (San Juan, Puerto Rico) 0 out of 3 found this review helpful
Is a great record ! No Rolling Stones record could be different! However, I felt a little disapointed when I listen to it because it lacks the force that we normally expect to hear on a live rolling stones record. Mick Jagger voice is very weak, probably because of age, probably it was not his best moment, I can't tell. And the rest of the band also in my opinion sound weak. But if you are a RS fan, you should have it !
Shine a Light is Pretty Dim August 31, 2008 Natalie 0 out of 3 found this review helpful
Die hard fans of the Stones will be disappointed with this CD. It is comprised of clips of weathered looking Stones interspersed with some abbreviated interviews. The overall affect was was boring. The only redeeming points were the duet with Christina Aguilera and Bill Clinton introducing and hugging the band members. Mick never looked so bad, but he can still move. If there was a point that Sorcese was trying to make, I missed it. I'm sorry I bought into all the presale hype. It wasn't worth it for me.
Old and tired September 8, 2008 Seamus O'Boogie (Right here) 0 out of 3 found this review helpful
I really was looking forward to listening to this album, having spent most of my life a fan. I bought sticky fingers when it came out and pretty much everything else since. Boy was I disappointed with this one. I've seen them live, so I know the tempos are different live ... but crikey ... they rush through some of these songs as if they're late for something important. Mick's voice is poor ... really, I couldn't listen to the album all the way through and tried several times. Buy something else if you don't ave everything else yet.
