Respectable: The Rolling Stones Release Star-Studded 50th Anniversary Show on "GRRR Live!"

December 8, 2022 By The Second Disc 4 Comments

Rolling Stones Grrr Live

BUY 2CD/BD FROM AMAZON.COM

Ten years ago, The Rolling Stones named their tour 50 & Counting which turned out not to be an exaggeration at all, considering The World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band is still going strong today even after weathering the loss of drummer Charlie Watts.  On February 10, Mercury Studios will commemorate a special night on that tour with the release of GRRR Live!, a 24-song set recorded at Newark, New Jersey's Prudential Center on December 13 and 15, 2012.  The concert will be released in a variety of formats including 3LP black vinyl, 3LP red vinyl, 3LP white vinyl, 2CD/Blu-ray, 2CD/DVD, 2CD, and digitally.  The DVD, BD, and digital versions will include Dolby Atmos mixes.

The 30-show, career-retrospective 50 & Counting tour kicked off in October 2012 with two intimate performances in Paris, France; it wound up almost a year later with two concerts at London's Hyde Park which drew over 130,000 people each night.  All told, over 450,000 people attended the tour, with revenue nearing $150 million.  Band alumni Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman both made special appearances, while the touring group each night included Bernard Fowler and Lisa Fischer on background vocals; Darryl Jones on bass; Bobby Keys on saxophone; Chuck Leavell on keyboards; and Tim Ries on saxophone.

GRRR! was, of course, the name of the Stones' greatest-hits album released in various formats in November 2012, the cover of which featured a gorilla with the band's tongue-and-lips logo.  While the gorilla is seemingly absent from the current release, many of the songs which appeared on the earlier release are present on this one, including "The Last Time," "Get Off of My Cloud," "Wild Horses," "Honky Tonk Women," and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction."  A number of Stones classics are also heard with special guests who dropped by the Prudential Center on December 15, 2012 including Lady Gaga on "Gimme Shelter," The Black Keys on "Who Do You Love," Gary Clark, Jr. and John Mayer on "Going Down," the band's former guitarist Mick Taylor on "Midnight Rambler," and New Jersey's own Bruce Springsteen on "Tumbling Dice."

The concert, which originally aired on pay-per-view, has been re-edited and remixed for its appearance on DVD and Blu-ray as part of this campaign.  In addition, three performances from the December 13 Newark show are included as bonus features on the DVD and BD: "Around and Around," "Gimme Shelter," and "Respectable," the latter featuring John Mayer.

The various versions of GRRR! Live will arrive on February 10 from Mercury Studios.  You'll find pre-order links below.

    I would think it highly unlikely that anyone can be truly excited about another in an endless series of live Rolling Stones albums.

    I have a newfound appreciation for their more traditional live albums now, the single-lp or single-disc releases that bought them time between studio lps. Still Life, Flashpoint, the original Stripped, and No Security are all enjoyable live albums that include a couple obligatory trademark songs but feature several tunes each that aren't played on every tour. The Vault sets over the last several years invert that, where half of every two-disc set are reruns, same tunes, different year (except when it's sometimes the same year as before!) I suppose the video content is more fun but I have far more time to drive and listen than to sit and watch.

    Of course, it's all optional entertainment, but it would be nice if they went back to curating single-disc sets from these tours.
