With his exceptional ability to lose himself in the music -- "I don't think on stage, I feel," he says at one point -- the guitarist looks like a wraith from another dimension, a being beyond both space and time. If the overall age of the group is a problem, "Shine a Light" has the resources to combat and overcome it, key among them being the amount of filmmaking craft and skill director Scorsese and his team bring to the proceedings. A meticulous planner and music aficionado who worked on "Woodstock" and whose credits include "The Last Waltz" and two excellent PBS music documentary series, Scorsese is also a film preservationist who seems to relish the task of conserving the almost retro nature of these concerts, shooting not in 3-D in massive soccer stadiums the way U2 did, but in 35 millimeter in a relatively intimate Broadway theater. And though "Shine a Light" is largely a concert documentary, Scorsese has shrewdly included a smattering of other material, including the Dick Cavett chat. There's some behind-the-scenes footage emphasizing the comic opera aspects of preparation -- "We cannot burn Mick Jagger," the director says sternly when a lighting issue makes immolation a possibility -- as well as a selection of mostly inane interviews the group has endured over the years. The heart of "Shine a Light," though, is the marvelous performance footage the 18 cameramen, led by director of photography Robert Richardson and including such major talents as Robert Elswit, John Toll, Albert Maysles, Stuart Dryburgh, Andrew Lesnie, Emmanuel Lubezki, Declan Quinn and Ellen Kuras, have managed to capture. As put together in a frankly heroic nine-month job of editing by David Tedeschi, this remarkable footage casually captures wonderful moments of musicianship and style, from Buddy Guy's intense guitar work on "Champagne and Reefer" to Ronnie Wood's hypnotic pedal steel solo on "Far Away Eyes" as well as Mr .
