I am at least one generation too late to be way into Mick and the rest of the guys, but I will admit that The Rolling Stones are good stuff. As well, I am certainly not too young to know that Martin Scorsese is also a man among boys when it comes to directing just about anything. So when you combine the two for the upcoming IMAX documentary Shine a Light, that’s a pretty enticing proposition.

Despite Mick Jagger’s lively prancing—his energetic frontmannery—a Rolling Stones concert is above all a sonic affair, rather than a visual event. A concert film, then, would seem pretty straightforward, at best: something to hear, but not much to look at—the sort of thing that goes straight to DVD or PBS. Martin Scorsese, however, through his ever-moving concert cam, manages to make Shine a Light both.

Since there is absolutely nothing more that you could possibly want out of life then to see The Rolling Stones on the massive screen that is IMAX — and we know this because their DVDs, CDs and documentaries still sell like crazy — we thought we would get with the fine folks at Paramount and arrange for some of our awesome readers to see it all for free.
