The Rolling Stones kept their rescheduled U.S. tour rolling on Monday night as the legendary UK rockers wrapped up the East Coast leg of their outing with a performance at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ, that included the group’s first live rendition of “Harlem Shuffle” in nearly 30 years.
Last night’s show opened with Stones staple “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” followed up “Tumbling Dice” a couple songs later, before the band busted out their cover of Bob & Earl’s “Harlem Shuffle,” which appeared on the Stones’ 1986 album, Dirty Work. Yesterday was their first take on the song since Aug. 25, 1990, and frontman Mick Jagger appropriately noted (after shouting out multiple New York–area locations besides Harlem), “We’re gonna do this song that’s sort of locally—vaguely—based, and we haven’t done this for ages, so be forgiving if you can.”
The performance also included Stones classics like “Sympathy for the Devil,” “Paint It Black,” “Start Me Up” and set-closer “Brown Sugar,” plus encore renditions of “Gimme Shelter” and “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.”
Check out the full setlist below, along with fan-shot video of “Harlem Shuffle.” The Rolling Stones continue their U.S. dates this weekend with a Saturday show in Denver.

Hear hear to Deadman, Geriatric Rocker, Mick Richards, Betty Cantor, Parish and RamRod, Jim, KB, and Jimmy Stavola, well said: ALL. Beatles’ jagg-offs, and of course Nick thee utter Tool, can remain in basements, and remain AWAY from all of my shows, and all of my bands.

geriatric rocker

For a bunch of 70 year olds……they fucking rock!

Harlem Shuffle all night on my head…….

August 6, 2019 at 7:00 pmI’ve probably seen 1000 shows, (Phish, moe. Lotus, all Dead bands, McCartney, Santana, etc.) the most recent being The Rolling Stones last night, and it was great. If you are complaining about a band, you probably weren’t there. Great time.
Betty Cantor-Jackson
August 6, 2019 at 6:18 pmMore according to Nick the little dinky: Bob Dylan mumbles, and grumbles, unfriendly, plays too much new stuff. Van’s angry, dismissive, back is to audience, 1 hour and 15 minute shows, rarely does an encore. tickets too expensive. Neil’s way too self-righteous, grumpy, and refuses to play with Crazy Horse, tired. McCartney’s shows are way too long. String Cheese sucks now, and JGB is a joke with only one former member on its roster.
RAMROD and Steve Parish
August 6, 2019 at 6:00 pmNick the little cock, you should see a show sometime. See any show sometime.
Dead & Company suck, (severely jealous/envious of JM), won’t see any iteration of anything Dead-related because beloved Jerry Garcia died 24 years ago (less three days). Rolling Stones suck, Blues Traveler sucks, Chuck Leavell’s a loser, Phil’s a money grubber, $happy’s a criminal, Allman/Betts sucks, their parent’s band should have hung it up 20 years ago, certainly Dickey now. Phish is washed up and garbage, no soul anymore now that Trey’s sober, and annoying.
Ahh, but Lotus, Lettuce, and Real Estate rocks. Just stay in your basement, get further reclusive, and don’t bother reading jambands.com website anymore. Go and FUCK right OFF.

August 7, 2019 at 9:35 amThis isn’t the Stones or nastiness and rebellion of the early days. They are now no less corporate than AT&T. But they can still rock. what do YOU think John, Paul, George and Ringo would be like in their 70s and if alive? Lucy In The Sky would be how relevant?

August 6, 2019 at 2:49 pmmy God theyre awful.
Lotus blows them away
Jim Stavola
August 6, 2019 at 3:45 pmLotus? LOL LOL Let see how long they last and when they get to play Met Life as a headliner. I’m sure Chuck Leavell will be taking time to play with Lotus.
