The Rolling Stones are set to end their five show anniversary tour at The Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.<br/> <br />The historic show will be telecast live via a pay-per-view event dubbed "One More Shot".<br/> <br />Drummer Charlie Watts joked, saying money was the motivation, but then added:<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE: Charlie Watts, The Rolling Stones, saying (English):<br/> <br />"It's a way of getting it to a lot of other people I suppose."<br/> <br />Joining the guys on stage will be New Jersey native Bruce Springsteen, pop star Lady Gaga and rock band The Black Keys.<br/> <br />Jagger says while the lineup seems random, there was a science behind the selection.<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE: Mick Jagger, The Rolling Stones, saying (English):<br/> <br />"They're all Americans, we're doing it from America. They all represent different phases of American music. And they all want to do it."<br/> <br />After just a two-city, five-show tour, the rockers say they're done.<br/> <br />Even though the name of the tour, "50 and Counting" implies there's more to come, Jagger says it is simply a tease.<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE: Mick Jagger, The Rolling Stones, saying (English):<br/> <br />"I don't know if we are, but we'll see, you know what I mean, we'll see. Things have gone well, this is a sort of get out clause really. Cause if we had done shows and they hadn't really been really good then we would have been like, I don't want to do that. But it's been going really well."<br/> <br />And it sounds like Ronnie Wood is hoping to keep the Stones rolling.<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE: Ronnie Wood, The Rolling Stones, saying (English):<br/> <br />"Once that big wheel starts rolling, which it is, it's going to be hard to stop."<br/> <br />The concert will air at 9pm eastern standard time on cable, satellite and online.
