This documentary film captures all the fire, soul and raw power of the World’s Greatest Rock ‘n Roll Band through the eyes and artistry of Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese. With classic band clips, exclusive behind-the-scenes moments and blistering concert footage (featuring special guests Jack White III, Christina Aguilera and the legendary Buddy Guy), this film is destined to be one of the greatest musical experiences of all time!
Scorsese filmed the Rolling Stones at New York City’s Beacon Theatre on October 29 and November 1, 2006. The music was recorded, mixed and co-produced by Bob Clearmountain. The concert footage is preceded by a brief semi-fictionalised introduction about the preparations for the shows, and is inter cut with historical news clips and archival interviews with band members. The shows, which were added to the tour schedule for the purposes of the film shoot, featured a different set list than was typical of other shows on the tour (see below), and were noted for their star-studded crowds, including former President Bill Clinton and former President of Poland Aleksander Kwasniewski.
Forthcoming movies in the coming weeks will be In the Mood for Love, Down by law, Coffee & Cigarettes among other masterpieces.
