Summary: Still getting better!
Comment: As you would expect, Martin Scorsese has made a great film of a Stones concert. The cinematography is very good, the featurettes are interesting as are the old recorded interviews (although older Stones fans, like me, will have seen them all before in decades past). However, what makes this film outstanding is the sound quality; it's so much better than in other DVDs of their concerts that I own. You can crank it up if you want to rock out but you can also pick out subtle remarks between the players, as when Keith gives Buddy Guy his guitar at the end of the show-stopping 'Champagne and Reefer'. The song selection illustrates the talents of all band members and guest artists and there should be something in here for everyone. Thoroughly recommended.

Summary: A Dull Show
Comment: The music itself is col enough, but the audio is totaly flat and without punch, almost no bass at all (tha bassdrum is nowhere to be heard). the band is almost always lit up with amber (skintone) lights. David Gilmour: Remember That Night - Live At The Royal Albert Hall [Blu-ray] Is way better in the audiovisual parts of the show. however, this is a gem for stones fans

Summary: BluRay still has some issues
Comment: This review does not comment on the excellene of the film: that's been done elsewhere, and suffice it to say, that if you're a Rolling Stones fan, you will like this movie.
I have the latest BluRay player (as of Aug 2008): the Pioneer Elite BDP-05FD, with the latest firmware (1.02). This BD takes FOREVER to just give me the splash screen (over a minute: a minute in fact to the "loading" animation). THen about half the time, it freezes: no pause, no chapter skip, nothing but a blank screen. Ejection and restarting is the only cure. This might be a defective BD, but there is no message. The same issue occurs on my Playstation 3...
BluRay is still just getting started, and there continue to be teething issues. I have about 10 other BDs now, and Shine a Light is the ONLY one with these sorts of issues. Sigh.
Five stars for content, three star for BD play problems.
