Rolling Stones Play Final Show of Anniversary Tour

With a montage kicking the event off, twenty songs performed in over two-and-a-half hours, and tons of very special guests, the final show of the Rolling Stones anniversary tour on Saturday night felt more like a tribute to the band than it did your everyday concert. As well it should.

The Stones didn’t only have a huge hand in making rock and roll, they did it a long time ago. And not only are they one of, if not the only band that’s able to say that, they’re still as prevalent today as they were when they formed in 1962. This weekend’s final concert in Newark certainly proved that.

The concert opened with a number of famous Stones’ fans appearing on screen, paying tribute to everything the Stones have done — Iggy Pop, Johnny Depp, and Elton John were just a few to say a few nice words about the band. After some gorillas marched down the aisles, the Stones broke out into “Get Off My Cloud,” and the crowd went wild. They continued on in that fashion for about the next three hours.

The Stones brought it, in every way that you would expect them to. Mick Jagger didn’t stop the entire time he was performing, and they brought some of their best. Including new hits off their album, Grrr (hence the masked gorillas earlier,) the Stones also brought the classics that everyone was dying to hear — “The Last Time,” “It’s Only Rock and Roll,” and “Paint it Black,” were among the favorites.

Special guests included John Mayer and Gary Clarke Jr., who helped with the guitar portions of “Going Down”; an incredible performance put in by Lady Gaga when singing alongside Jagger in “Gimme Shelter”; and The Black Keyes who sang a cover of Bo Diddly’s “Who Do You Love,” also a highlight of the night. But the biggest guest star was reserved for last, when Bruce Springsteen joined the Stones onstage to perform “Tumbling Dice.” Watching the members of the band, you could tell this was the moment they had been waiting for.

Only the Stones could secure a Pay-Per-View spot for one of their performances, and get the E! red carpet rolled out for them before the event. After the band took the stage for the final song, there was only one thing for fans, both those at the Prudential Center and those at home watching, had to be disappointed about. This was the last show in a very short, five-date tour.
