Keith Richards: Hey. Hey, Clinton. I'm "Bushed"!
[laughs]
-
Martin Scorsese: Catch on fire? We can't do that. We cannot burn Mick - we cannot burn Mick Jagger... We want the affect, but, we cannot burn him.
-
Mick Jagger: [historic footage] Well we've been doing this music thing for two years now and we never thought we would last this long, but I can see us doing it for maybe another year.
-
Mick Jagger: On the drums, Mr. Wang Dang Doodle, Charlie Watts. You Wanna say hello?
Charlie Watts: Hello.
Mick Jagger: He speaks.
-
Keith Richards: It's good to see you all, you know.
[takes a drag from his cigarette]
Keith Richards: It's good to see anybody!
[laughs]
-
Martin Scorsese: [after the stage lights are turned on] Oo! That cleared up my sinuses!
-
[last lines]
Martin Scorsese: [to the camera man] Up! Up!
-
[first lines]
Mick Jagger: It looks like a doll's house.
-
Mick Jagger: I have no idea why the stage is designed in this way. If there;s any really rhyme or reason to it.
Set Designer: Which part?
Mick Jagger: All of it.
Set Designer: Well because you wanted - you asked for...
Mick Jagger: I never asked for them. That's Martin.
-
Martin Scorsese: "Too Much Blood" he wants to do. "She Was Hot". "Mr. Pitiful".
-
Mick Jagger: This is my set list for Austin and the Beacon. It's been a bit of work.
-
Martin Scorsese: "The First Time I Met the Blues" possibly.
-
Mick Jagger: Getting a good mixture and things that everyone likes and things that are not so well known and things that are gonna work for the theater and things that don't - try and avoid those.
-
Martin Scorsese: Can we kind of know, if at all possible, what they are gonna play - and, if - it doesn't have to be in order.
-
Self - The Rolling Stones: guitar: It will be good when we get people in here - when we get the live crowd. And the set list. I can't wait to see what we finally end up with.
-
Martin Scorsese: I really would like to know what the first song is going to be; because, if the first song opens on a guitar riff, a guitar intro, we have to make sure we're covered. Who's - which guitar? Is it - usually is Keith. We have to know that. What if the keyboard begins and Mick starts singing; therefore, two or three cameras to be on Mick. That's all I'm asking. To find out what it is.
-
Mick Jagger: So, how's the audience gonna be with all these cameras? Hmm?
-
Bill Clinton: This is one of my - birthday presents. I get to open for The Rolling Stones.
[audience applauds]
Bill Clinton: I want to say a special word of thanks on behalf of Hillary and Chelsea and myself to The Rolling Stones for doing this. I actually did open for The Rolling Stones once before. They did a concert in Los Angeles in 2001 to raise awareness of the threat of climate change. They know as much about these issues as we do. They care about them as much as we do. And that's why they're here giving us this wonderful night.
-
Scorsese Assistant: Okay, let's get ready to go. Everyone, let's get ready to go.
Emcee: And now, for their second and final appearance at the Beacon Theater, please welcome, The Rolling Stones!
Scorsese Assistant: Set list!
Martin Scorsese: Okay, first song.
Mick Jagger: [singing] I was born in a cross-fire hurricane, And I howled at the morning driving rain, But it's all - all right, now, in fact, it's a gas, But it's all - all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, It's a gas, gas, gas...
-
Mick Jagger: [singing] Love and hope and sex and dreams, Are still surviving on the street, Look at me! I'm shattered, Look at me! Shattered...
-
Mick Jagger: [singing] All you chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter about, Shmatta, shmatta, shmatta, I can't give it away on 7th Avenue, This town's been wearing tatters, Yeah! Work and work for love and sex, Are you hungry for success, success, success, success! Does it matter? Does it matter?
-
Mick Jagger: [singing] Don't you know the crime rates going up, up, up, up! To live in this town you must tough, tough, tough, tough, tough! The rats on the West side, Bedbugs uptown, This town's in tatters, I'm shattered, My brains been - my brains been splattered all over - Manhattan...

[singing]
Mick Jagger: It is the evening of the day, I sit and watch the children play, Smiling faces I can see, But not for me, I sit and watch, As tears go by...

-
Mick Jagger: We're gonna do a little bit of country for you now. This one we do called "Faraway Eyes"
