Shine a Light (2008)

A Strolling Bones concert directed by Martin Scorsese that’s very similar to what he did with The Band in 1978. It includes guest musicians, candid behind the scenes documentary footage and archive TV footage, which, embarrassingly for Marty, is a lot more interesting than what he caught in his lens. The guests range from superb (Buddy Guy) to just awful (Jack White); Christina Aguilera is also amazing. The set list is disappointing, for me at least, but the performances are top class. They may be prehistoric rockers but they have more energy than I do on even my best days.
