Just as he did with The Band in his unforgettable 1978 rockumentary, The Last Waltz, director Martin Scorsese blazes new ground with this fascinating, deeply personal concert film of The Rolling Stones. Over the course of two nights at New York's Beacon Theatre, Scorsese captures the wild and enduring energy of The Stones as they deliver electrifying performances during their 2006 "A Bigger Bang" tour. Now, some 30-years after his gig with The Band, Scorsese is able to employ a highly coordinated army of 16 renowned cameramen to follow Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, and Ron Wood as they scale fresh heights of rock greatness. Musical lightning not only strikes twice... it sets the screen on fire. Special Features include, bonus footage, featurettes and more.
