Pardon my wiki-posting but I'm AMPED!

Shine a Light is an upcoming 2008 documentary film directed by Martin Scorsese that spans the career of rock and roll band The Rolling Stones. The film also includes footage from the recently concluded A Bigger Bang Tour of 2006. The film takes its title from the song of the same name, featured on The Stones' 1972 album Exile on Main St.

Scorsese filmed the Rolling Stones for two nights at New York City's Beacon Theater on October 29 and November 1, 2006. Footage from the shows will be intercut with backstage footage, historical clips and contemporary interviews with the band. The shows were noted for their star-studded crowds, including former President Bill Clinton. The newly released trailer for the film also shows Jack White, Christina Aguilera, and Buddy Guy onstage, performing with the band.

The film was initially scheduled for release on September 21, 2007, but Paramount Classics postponed its release until April 2008. The world premiere will be at the Berlin International Film Festival 2008.

A soundtrack album of the film will be released in March 2008 from UMG.
