Earlier in December, The Rolling Stones announced a special live album release titled GRRR Live! It will present a live show from their 50th-anniversary tour 50 and Counting that took place in December 2012 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, and was originally broadcast as the pay-per-view event The Rolling Stones: One More Shot.
As a number of sources report, the show has now been re-mixed and re-edited for a new release, which will be released as a triple-album vinyl and a double-album CD. GRRR Live! will also be released on DVD and Blu-Ray.
The show was notable for its long list of special guests, with Lady Gaga joining the band onstage to duet with Mick Jagger on “Gimme Shelter,” The Black Keys jamming with the Stones on a cover of Bo Diddley‘s “Who Do You Love,” Bruce Springsteen performing the Exile On Main Street single “Tumbling Dice” and John Mayer and Gary Clark, Jr. guesting on “Going Down.”
To celebrate this release, The Stones have also decided to broadcast the entire show online via live-stream company Kiswe, on February 2, 2023.
In a statement shared on social media, GRRR Live! was described as “the definitive concert film, recorded on one of the most memorable shows in the band’s history.”
Its release in February will mark the band’s second archival live album in as many years; this past May saw the band release El Mocambo 1977, marking the first official release of a secret show that the Stones played at Toronto’s El Mocambo club.
GRRR Live! will be released on 10 February 2023.
