‘Gimme Shelter’ is probably my favorite ‘rockumentary’ of all time, so when I heard news of Martin Scorsese’s Rolling Stones films ‘Shine a Light’ , I was very excited. The idea of a history lesson as told through Scorsese’s lens felt like the perfect match. Probably due to the fact that he overuses the song ‘Gimme Shelter’ in so many of his films!
Then I was a little disappointed I heard that this would actually be a modern day concert film, documenting a Stones performance in the style of Scorsese’s own ‘The Last Waltz’.
What are your thoughts?
