The Rolling Stones played the final scheduled performance of their 50 And Counting run of gigs at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on Saturday night (December 15).

The band kicked off with “Get Off Of My Cloud” and then played “The Last Time”, “It’s Only Rock ‘N’ Roll (But I Like It)” and “Paint It, Black” before introducing the first of the night’s special guests, Lady Gaga, for “Gimme Shelter”.

Jagger also dedicated a rendition of “Wild Horses” to the recent victims of the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, telling the crowd: “I just wanted to take a minute and send our love and condolences to those who lost their loved ones yesterday.”

In addition to Gaga, there was a spate of guest stars as John Mayer and Gary Clark Jr. joined the Stones for “Going Down”, while former guitarist Mick Taylor played with his old bandmates on “Midnight Rambler”.

The Black Keys, meanwhile, were roped in to play on a cover of Bo Diddley’s “Who Do You Love”, before Bruce Springsteen joined the band for “Tumbling Dice” – with Jagger jokingly telling fans that the Boss had “walked to the show”.

The Stones finished the show with “Brown Sugar” and “Sympathy For The Devil”, before returning for an encore of “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”, “Jumpin Jack Flash” and “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”. By way of farewell, Jagger simply told the audience: “This is our last show… of the 50th anniversary tour. Hope to see you again soon.”
