SHINE A LIGHT

Rock and roll will never die, and neither, apparently, will the Rolling Stones. Interviewed in Esquire some years back, Satan remarked that he finally took down his “Welcome, Keith Richards” banner because it just looked embarrassing hanging there. Now, as we wait for the Glimmer Twins to coax Charlie Watts out of his idyllic repose to hit the road one more time, Fathom Events takes us back to the zenith of the band’s creative and performing prowess with Ladies & Gentlemen … The Rolling Stones. Originally shot in 16 mm, this one-night-only presentation puts theatergoers in the front row for the band’s 1972 North American tour behind the now-legendary Exile on Main Street. Featuring an exclusive introduction by Sir Mick Jagger (that just looks wrong no matter how many times you type it), the concert film screens at 7:30 p.m. at selected metro-area theaters.
