Fans attending any of the upcoming shows at Brooklyn's Barclay Center or London's 02 Arena will be able to purchase Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary commemorative Cracker Jack boxes. Each box will contain a special prize that will contain a bar code that fans can then scan with their iPhones using a new uView app that fans can now begin downloading via the Rolling Stones official Facebook page. If the bar code they enter matches the evenings winning bar code that fan will then be able to enter a song title via the bands Twitter account.

In what is a ground breaking interactive event, over hundreds of fans could be Cracker Jack winners at each show for valuable merchandise discounts. This is the first multi-media live fan interactive campaign ever launched and the Rolling Stones, in partnership with Cracker Jack, Virgin Records, ABCKO, Apple and Viacom are being heralded as groundbreaking visionaries. Making this the biggest global Augmented Reality music campaign to date.

GRRR! by The Rolling Stones is released 13 November

the description of the procedure seems needlessly complicated, especially to end up with a 20% discount on merch, can't imagine many doing it

have to echo the sentiments of the partnership with crackerjack, seems strange

though i think the uView app and landmarks could be cool, depends if many people do it

tracklisting for GRRR looks decent if predictable, don't think i'll be purchasing it but i enjoy the cover so if i see it for cheap someday i might; pity there weren't even a few other previously unreleased songs tacked on but hopefully the two new tracks suffice

It's hilarious (but Sad, Sad, Sad) that it was virtually impossible to tell if the Cracker Jacks story was legit. Good work, Sway!

Here's a blog about how screwed up the new campaign is from a techie POV (I don't have a smart phone so this stuff's lost on me):

Rolling Stones Launch Ambitious AR Campaign That Loses Focus
by Steve Smith, 54 minutes ago

Augmented Reality (AR) gets its chance in the sun this year, and it has a distinct advantage over the previous video activation trend that preceded it.

AR developers can see how the purveyors of too many QR campaigns muddied the format’s reputation with bad code strategies (the QR in a subway meme) and worse follow-through experiences. “You mean I downloaded an app I never heard of, scanned a code while the rest of the mall thought I was an idiot aiming my camera at a wall, and all I got was a Web page?”

AR gets a mobile do-over, if its developers were paying attention. The good part about AR is that the immediate experience often can be engaging -- if only for a while. I was enthused by the sheer ambition of the new partnership among the Rolling Stones, ABKO Music, Universal Music and AR provider Aurasma. In advance of the Nov. 12 release of the Stones’ GRRR! Greatest Hits compilation, an AR campaign will be plastered across 3000 and more discrete locations around more than 50 cities.

They are planting the RS gorilla art of various kinds at the Empire State Building (the ape, get it?), Tokyo's Skytree, and London's Big Ben among the thousands of locations.

AR is all about cool visuals, so this campaign gets a head start by using the album art by Walton Ford. A gorilla with the iconic Stones lips follows the grand tradition of eye-catching Stones covers, recalling everything from Tattoo You to Warhol’s Sticky Fingers (I had the one with the original zipper) and Beggars Banquet. Use the uView app on the image anywhere and the ape comes to life, growls and gains a 3D effect by swiping at you from the album cover. But then the experience segues into a lengthy montage of Stones clips and music walking you through their history.

To their credit, the partners here came up with a two-tiered experience -- one that used AR to grab attention and continue the Stone’s branding for bleeding edginess and then one that delivered a genuinely good video for fans.

Until you hit the “pre-order button.” What the…?

In classic old-school QR fashion, and after a really strong AR/video combo, I get kicked over to an order site that is not even vaguely optimized for mobile. The pop-ups and drop-downs offer up microscopic text I am supposed to navigate to get to ordering. But it gets worse. Even if you decide to bail from the video, there is no way to stop it. I like the montage a lot, but I would also like to save it for later. This uView app is so cluttered with this silly branded business around people creating their own Aurasma “Auras” that it is bound to confuse someone who just wants their Rolling Stone experience. There isn’t even a history I could find to get me back to the Rolling Stone experience later.

Wow. Déjà vu. It felt like 2010 all over again.

Its an incredible logic, when you think about it, ie using modern technology to target what will primarily be an under 30's demographic.

The one demographic they've chosen to price out of being able to watch them perform the music they're aiming to promote, because most of them don't earn enough money to be able to buy a ticket.

This whole thing hinges on the 2 new songs....If they are better than good..I'll be happy...if they like what we've had since Voodoo Lounge (as I suspect) then hell with all this...This APP craze is marketing gone gonzo and not to have this new Stones stuff optimized for mobile phones shows the superficial nature of the whole campaign.

Was it VooDoo Lounge Tour that the Stones had an ïnternet poll"for an audience song request in each city??
Or am I making things up again???

I think that was Bridges Tour..Voodoo Lounge had a pretty standard setlist little variation as I remember. Oh and the internet "poll" seemed rigged too

Anyone remember the Fox TV 3-D concert??

It was a rebroadcast of the AC pay-per-view show. Edited down to like 12 songs for TV.

And the kicker was you could go to your local 7-11 convenient store and buy a Simpsons Big Gulp and it came with a pair of 3-D glasses that you could take home to watch the show in 3-D.

I shit you not.
