THE PEAS AND COMPANY ROCK THE GARDEN

The Black Eyed Peas hit the stage at Madison Square Garden in New York City Wednesday night. Just before the group performed, David Guetta stirred things up as a surprise guest. The DJ announced to the crowd that he arrived from Paris to make it to the concert. He cued up his Kelly Rowland-assisted song "When Love Takes Over" and walked off, still on his turntables, as a crew collected his equipment and pulled Guetta offstage while the music was still playing. Ludacris and LMFAO helped kick things off prior to that. The rowdy "I'm in Miami, Trick" party rockers did a brief set, including their hot track "Shots." Ludacris pulled out a number of hits throughout his set, from "Move" to "Stand Up." The Peas opened the show with “Let’s Get It Started” and steam-rolled through hits like “I Gotta Feeling,” “Boom Boom Pow” and their latest, “Imma Be.”
