Rolling Stones Shoot Scorsese Film, Party with the Clintons

"I'd like to welcome President Clinton – and I see she's brought her husband," a grinning Mick Jagger said from the stage of New York's Beacon Theatre. He was greeting Bill and Hillary at an intimate October 29th concert that served as a fund-raiser for the former president's charity foundation and as a celebration of his sixtieth birthday.

The show, along with another Beacon performance on November 1st, was filmed by Martin Scorsese for a new Stones documentary, set for theatrical release late next year. At both shows, Jack White sang "Loving Cup" with Jagger, and Buddy Guy jammed on a Muddy Waters cover, "Champagne and Reefer." But the best-received guest turned out to be Christina Aguilera, who strutted Tina Turner-style through a raucous version of "Live with Me." Scorsese's film – much like his 1978 Band documentary The Last Waltz – will combine performance footage with interviews and historical clips; Gimme Shelter director Albert Maysles is giving Scorsese outtakes from that film for possible use in the new movie and also served as a second-unit director at the Beacon. "It was a huge crew, but morale was so high," Maysles says of the shoot. "I guess that goes along with anything that Martin Scorsese does."
