Martin Scorsese’s documentary film on the Rolling Stones and their 2006 stint at Manhattan’s Beacon Theatre , ‘Shine a Light,’ premiered last night in New York. You can see photos and video below.

The Rolling Stones performed two concerts at the old Broadway theatre with guest appearances from Christina Aguilera, Buddy Guy and Jack White on October 29 and November 1, 2006. The film consists of concert footage with a mix of the band preparing to take the stage, past interviews and news clips. It was a hot ticket to say the least as The Beacon only holds 2,800, and fans were vying for tickets with the likes of Bill and Hillary Clinton. Oscar-winning director, Scorcese, is also a fan.
“Their music has dealt with aspects of the life that I was growing up around, and it’s been a well of inspiration to this day.”
The band played some classics and other songs that they had never before performed live. ‘Shine a Light’ is set for a national release on April 4th. You can see more photos and the trailer for the movie below.
