Well it's been almost 10 years since I've seen the Black Eyed Peas and what a difference. Back then they were the openers on No Doubt's Return to Saturn Tour which also featured Lit as direct support. Three albums, six Grammys and many top singles later - look at them now! Oh and back "in the day" there wasn't a Fergie.
I was able to photograph them in Philadelphia at the Wachovia Center on March 3rd after missing their DC show due to being out of town on vacation. Only caught the first two and a half songs as that was what I was photographing but what an amazing few songs that was.
The kicked off the night with "Let's Get It Started" which had them coming up out of the stage to a blanket and fog and green lazer lights. The stage was totally open with the playing band members perched above behind a curtain and a long catwalk extended out from the stage as well as risers to the sides of the stage. On the second song "Rock That Body" they used the catwalk playing to the crowd. The song ended with dancers dressed up as robots doing a coordinated dance along the catwalk. The third song of the night was definitely highlighted by Fergie front and center is a bath of light and will.i.am suspended by cables as he flew across the stage.
Seriously now, how can you not like the Black Eyed Peas? The energy was high and the crowd was having fun.
