For the first time in a decade, Rolling Stones fans will be able to experience one of the band’s most memorable concerts, which featured appearances by the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga and The Black Keys.

The Rolling Stones have announced a new online concert event celebrating the release of GRRR Live!, which will take place on 2nd February at 8pm.

Recorded on 15th December 2012 at New Jersey’s Prudential Center on the band’s 50 & Counting Tour, the GRRR Live! concert featured The Black Keys on Who Do You Love?, Gary Clark Jr and John Mayer on Going Down, and Lady Gaga on Gimme Shelter. The gig also included Mick Taylor on Midnight Rambler, and the legendary Bruce Springsteen on Tumbling Dice.

This epic show has not been available to fans since it originally aired on pay-per-view all the way back in 2012, but next February they will be able to see The GRRR Live! experience on RollingStonesNewark.com via interactive video company Kiswe’s global live streaming technology. 

As well as the aforementioned collabs, the concert also featured other Rolling Stones bangers, including It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll (But I Like It), Start Me Up, Gimme Shelter, Sympathy For The Devil and (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction. 

And the experience will be an interactive one. Fans will be able to upload short video selfies of themselves to celebrate the band and the performances, and they will be seen on screen alongside the performance.

The show will also be available on CD, vinyl, digital, DVD and Blu Ray. The band announced the release on Twitter, saying: “Introducing.... GRRR Live! 🦍 The definitive concert film recorded on one of the most memorable shows in the band's history. Pre-order now on 2CD, 3LP (classic black & limited red), Digital, DVD & Blu Ray.”
