The Rolling Stones perform the classic for the first time since 1990. 

The cover was played on the band's US tour at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey earlier this week.

Mick Jagger asked the crowd, “Anybody here from Queens? Anyone from Manhattan? Westchester? Staten Island? The Bronx? Hartford? Anyone here from New Jersey? We’re going to do a song sort of locally, vaguely, based. It’s called ‘Harlem Shuffle.’”

Watch the performance below:

Harlem Shuffle originally appeared on the band's 1986 album 'Dirty Work' and was last performed at Wembley Stadium when The Rolling Stones were in London on August 25 in 1990.
