On This Day, April 1, 2008 …

The Rolling Stones released Shine a Light, the soundtrack to their Martin Scorsese-directed concert film of the same name.

The concert doc featured performances from the band’s two-night stand at the intimate Beacon Theatre in New York, which took place October 29 and November 1, 2006. The shows happened during their A Bigger Bang Tour.

The movie featured special guests Jack White, Buddy Guy and Christina Aguilera performing with the Stones; they also appeared on the soundtrack.

Performances on the release included “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” “Sympathy for the Devil,” “Brown Sugar” and “Start Me Up.”

The last time The Rolling Stones hit the road was in 2024, in support of their 2023 studio album Hackney Diamonds. The tour, sponsored by AARP, took them across North America.
