I can’t get no satisfaction from “Shine a Light,” a Rolling Stones concert film vaguely piloted by Martin Scorsese. The legendary rockers never did much for me musically, and so a film that’s 95 percent live performance does even less. Those who’ve willingly rolled with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ron Wood and Charlie Watts for decades can add a full star to my final grade.

Scorsese captured the band on the second night of a two-gig stint at New York’s Beacon Theatre in 2006. Snippets of archival footage are interspersed throughout a two-hour show. Songs I’m unfamiliar with sound decent. The band opts for an obscure set list – I recognized six or seven songs as legitimate hits, including “Brown Sugar,” “Shattered,” “As Tears Go By,” “Start Me Up” and “Sympathy for the Devil.” Musical guests routinely share the stage with the icons. Legendary bluesman Buddy Guy makes perfect sense, but Jack White of the White Stripes and singer Christina Aguilera feel like blatant attempts to market “Light” to a younger crowd.

Beyond their musicianship, which never was in question, “Light” flaunts the Stones’ impossible physical shape. Wood comes across as the glue holding the band together on stage. With one exhausted glance at the camera, Watts betrays the exertion that goes into each performance. The fact that Richards is still alive, let alone playing guitar for a living, is miraculous. And Jagger, 62 at the time, moves like a 15-year-old fashion model hitting the catwalk for the first time. Scorsese would need 100 cameras to adequately convey the singer’s incessant stage movements. Trying to film Jagger in concert is like trying to hunt a gazelle with a slingshot.

But “Light” offers little else for non-Stones fans who might curiously check out Scorsese’s follow-up to his Oscar-winning “The Departed.” The director appears briefly in frantic opening scenes as he rigs cameras around the venue and unsuccessfully coaxes a potential set list from Jagger. It’s the ideal dichotomy between the control-freak filmmaker and the epitome of spontaneous rock.

Without these cameos, however, we’d never guess Scorsese had a hand in the generic “Light.” The director tried to capture lightning in a bottle, but ended up with a straightforward concert film that doesn’t shine so bright.
