The Rolling Stones proved once again why they’re rock legends, electrifying the Prudential Center in New Jersey with a powerhouse performance celebrating the release of GRRR!, their ultimate greatest hits compilation. True to form, the band’s signature rockstar energy had the crowd completely enthralled, belting out song after song from their iconic catalog. But the night was more than a nostalgic trip through hits—it was a celebration elevated by a star-studded roster of guest performers.
As the unmistakable intro to “Gimme Shelter” echoed through the arena, the audience’s excitement skyrocketed. That enthusiasm hit a fever pitch when Lady Gaga stepped onto the stage. With her signature flair and unmatched presence, Gaga didn’t just keep up with Mick Jagger—she met him head-on, dancing with wild abandon in towering platform heels and channeling pure rock spirit. One fan summed it up perfectly: “Gaga is mighty. Holding her own on stage with the Stones.”
And the surprises kept coming. Throughout the evening, a series of musical giants joined the Stones under the spotlight. Fans of Music Man would’ve been in awe seeing The Black Keys, John Mayer, and Gary Clark Jr. trade riffs and rhythms with the legendary band. But the night’s pinnacle came when Bruce Springsteen himself strode out to jam with the Stones on their 1972 classic “Tumbling Dice.”
Springsteen’s performance was more than just a collaboration—it was a dream realized. He took the stage with visible joy, strumming alongside Ronnie Wood and trading vocals with Jagger, creating a moment thick with reverence and excitement. For Bruce, this was personal: he’s long credited the Rolling Stones as his biggest influence, and on this night, that admiration was on full display, lighting up the stage with raw energy and heartfelt homage.
