The site features new video introductions from Jagger and Richards, selections from Shine A Light, recent live clips from the band, and vintage videos.

Mick Jagger says that although the process of making Shine A Light was a positive experience, it was not without the pressures that accompany making a major motion picture: [ Click to listen if you have a backstage pass] "It was fantastically enjoyable. In other ways, you know, it's very nerve-wracking for us because we know we have to do something on the night. So it was quite a challenge -- talking about having fun, it's great fun to do but it's also a challenge for everyone to come up with the goods on the night and after it."

The Rolling Stones' Shine A Light is in theaters now.
