Shine a Light isn't the first film to shine a light on the Rolling Stones' stage life. The band has released numerous DVDs, most recently 2003's quadruple-disc Rolling Stones: Four Flicks, but also boasts a well-stocked library of theatrical releases that cements its performance legacy. Among them:

•Sympathy for the Devil (1968). In this ill-fated project, plagued by a studio fire and director/producer friction, Jean-Luc Godard captures the Stones jamming and rehearsing its epic tune from raw acoustic form to full menacing firestorm, interrupted by absurd, politically charged vignettes. •The Rolling Stones: Rock and Roll Circus (1968). Michael Lindsay-Hogg directs the Stones in a big-top setting with The Who, John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Marianne Faithfull and Brian Jones in his last public performance. Taped for a '68 TV special, it wasn't released until 1996. •Gimme Shelter (1970). Directed by brothers Albert and David Maysles, this powerful documentary centers on 1969's chaotic Altamont Speedway concert, where Hells Angels, serving as security, killed a fan during a melee. •C————- Blues (1972). Robert Frank's controversial film caught concert footage as well as offstage antics involving drugs and naked groupies (some of it staged) on the band's U.S. trek. The Stones' lawsuit prevented its release, but it's been widely bootlegged. •Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones (1974). Filmmaker Steve Gebhardt shot the Stones on their 1972 tour to promote their landmark album Exile on Main Street. Released theatrically in 1974 with then-novel quadraphonic sound, it has yet to surface on DVD. •Let's Spend the Night Together (1982). Hal Ashby's film documented the band's 1981 tour at stops in New Jersey and Arizona, where the director suffered an overdose before the show. •Live at the Max (1991). Julien Temple's technically ambitious rock doc was filmed at shows on the Stones' Steel Wheels tour for 50-by-70-foot IMAX screens and six-track surround sound.
