The Rolling Stones will release a new live greatest hits called GRRR Live!, in February next year.
This release features 24 tracks recorded on the road in as part of the band’s 50 & Counting Tour from a decade ago. Specifically, this album is taken from the 15 December 2012 show at Newark, New Jersey’s Prudential Center. It features guest appearances by The Black Keys (‘Who Do You Love?’), Gary Clark Jr & John Mayer (‘Going Down’), Lady Gaga (Gimme Shelter), Mick Taylor (‘Midnight Rambler’) and Bruce Springsteen (‘Tumbling Dice’).
This show was aired at the time as a pay-per-view ‘event’ but the concert has been re-edited and the audio has been remixed for this release. There are four physical formats: 3LP vinyl, 2CD+blu-ray, 2CD+DVD and 2CD. The blu-ray in the 2CD+blu-ray combo features a Dolby Atmos Mix. There’s no specific confirmation, but presumably the DVD features a 5.1 mix. Both Blu-ray and DVD feature three bonus songs from the 13 December show at the same venue: ‘Respectable’ (with John Mayer), ‘Around And Around’, and ‘Gimme Shelter’.
This release reboots the GRRR brand from 2012 (the box set was one of the worst in SDE’s history), although there’s no monkey business on the front cover, this time.
