The Rolling Stones are set to stage a virtual concert to celebrate the release of ‘GRRR Live!’.

The show featured performances from a host of big-name stars, including Lady Gaga, Gary Clark Jr. and John Mayer, Mick Taylor and Bruce Springsteen.
And the legendary show is now being made available to fans worldwide on RollingStonesNewark.com, via interactive video company Kiswe’s global live streaming technology.

The live album was recorded during their December 2012 show at the Prudential Center in New Jersey.
The performance – which took place during the band’s 50 and Counting world tour – has been re-mixed and re-edited to create a triple-album vinyl and a double-album CD. ‘GRRR Live!’ is also being released on DVD and Blu-Ray.
During the concert, the Stones were joined on stage by Lady Gaga, who performed a duet with Sir Mick Jagger.
Elsewhere, John Mayer and Gary Clark, Jr guested on a performance of ‘Going Down’. And, later in the show, Bruce Springsteen – who was born in New Jersey – performed ‘Tumbling Dice’.
