Satisfaction…for Seven Bucks

The Rolling Stones steal a page from Hannah Montana, and their timing is impeccable.

Estava esse fds no HSBC e vi que o filme/documentario do Martin Scorsese com os Rolling Stones estava no line up!

E lendo o portfolio.com tem uma materinha falando sobre a premiere the Shine a Light.

" A recession can even put the brakes on the spending habits of rock royalty.

"Of course it does," Mick Jagger said at the red carpet premiere of Shine a Light, at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York, Sunday evening. "You invest in different things, and you have to watch out, and you don't spend too much on, you know, on drinks. And you only go out twice a week."

With a major movie opening tomorrow, you wouldn’t think the Stones would be pinching pennies. Then again, Jagger might be feeling the pressure to generate more cash than—or at least as much as—Tween Queen Miley Cyrus.

The Stones’ rockumentary, which hits theaters nationwide on April 4, is a collaboration with filmmaker Martin Scorsese and captures two concerts in New York at the end of the Rolling Stones' Bigger Bang tour, a record-breaking $558 million, 144-date global romp that sold a whopping 4.6 million tickets. Shine a Light comes in the wake of Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert, which grossed $31 million its first week (over Super Bowl weekend) on only 683 screens, making it the largest per-screen average of any nationwide release in film history.

Scorsese's film is armed with 18 cameras and includes duets with the White Stripes' Jack White, Christina Aguilera, and blues star Buddy Guy, along with a cameo from former President Bill Clinton. And Keith Richards says he isn't sweating it.

"The competition is nothing. This is why I'm in this game," said the pirate-like rhythm guitarist, as he slowly made his way down the red carpet, smoking his cigarette down to the filter. "It's just about moving around. Work on the road is work on the road. You get used to it."

Concertgoers aren’t the only folks not feeling, ahem, sympathy for the devil’s high-priced tickets. Asked how touring today differs from 30 years ago, Richards remarked: "Well, the ticket prices are higher." Of course, the Stones pioneered charging a higher premium for better seats back in 1994, says Gary Bongiovanni, editor in chief of concert-industry publication Pollstar. But with Shine a Light pricing at roughly seven dollars—a bargain compared with the $60 to $450 ticket prices to see them live in 2006—they’ve got excellent recessionary timing."

ow yeah! Satisfaction babeee!!!!
