More than 40 years into their career, the Stones sound raw and dangerously alive.
-
It documents the Stones on a historic roll, reveling in their mastery.

As a longtime fan and collector of live Stones stuff, I personally feel that Shine a Light deserves a pivotal place in your listening rotation, especially if you are in search of a quality recent show.
