The Rock n Roll Hall A Fame 25 years concert took place at Madison Square Garden NYC and has been going on the last couple of days. Black Eyed Peas played on night two Friday, October 30.
Excerpts from New York Magazine as reported by Hugo Lindgren and Ben Williams.

U2/Fergie/Jagger — “Gimme Shelter”
This was a crazy mess, but absolutely riveting. Neither Bono nor Mick could contribute much vocally — Bono's voice is gone, hopefully not forever, and Jagger's faux-Texan twang has disconcertingly overwhelmed the rest of his repertoire. But who the hell cares, this was Mick and U2 up there, banging it out like a bunch of teenagers! U2’s arrangement was subtly bewitching, and major props belong to Fergie, who had to execute the greatest back-up vocal performance of all time. Of course, she made no one forget the original. But her fearlessness was something to behold.
U2/Black Eyed Peas — "Where is the Love"
The segue from "Mysterious Ways" to "Where is the Love" may have been most artful moment of the night, and from there on out, it was pure goosebumps, we're not ashamed to admit it.
