With all that praise we shouldn't forget the highlight of the show
Quote:
Jagger told the crowd that some of the Stones’ guests had flown thousands of miles to be there in New Jersey, from exotic locales like Russia, Norway and Saskatoon. Then he added, "Our next guest just had to walk here." And with that, Bruce Springsteen came on for "Tumbling Dice," the undisputed highlight of the night. Springsteen traded verses with Jagger while playing guitar, grinning broadly, busting out his Otis Redding moves as he grunted "You got-ta roll me!" over and over.
Once her Lady-sty's participation was announced, it wasn't too hard to guess that she'd guest on the one Stones song ever to feature such a prominent female vocal. (Mary J. Blige tackled the part at a previous stop on the tour.) And if you knew that Gaga's ability to sing in a more soulful style than her dance-oriented music usually allows was not just rumor, her ability to do some belting was not a complete surprise, either. So most of the suspense lay in how she'd dress for the occasion. It turns out she is the rare woman who can pull off neck-to-ankle vertical stripes, and the rarer woman who can strut on towering platform shoes right out of the mid-1970s.
