Black Eyed Peas rock NYC's Good Morning America

Central Park’s Rumsey Playfield became the center of attention on Friday, July 30, when hundreds lined up as early as 6 a.m. to see six-time Grammy Award winning alternative hip hop band, the Black Eyed Peas. The band took part in Good Morning America’s free summer concert series. The cheering fans (who call themselves pea bodies) filled the park chanting “Black Eyed Peas! Black Eyed Peas!” and taking enough photos to make the crowd feel like there was paparazzi everywhere.

 In the short 30-minutes set, The Peas performed three songs from their latest album, “The E.N.D,” which stands for Energy Never Dies. The songs, “Boom Boom Pow,” “Rock That Body” and “I Gotta Feeling” were crowd pleasers and will probably be played at every concert on the band’s current world tour. The Black Eyed Peas full house concert brought spark to Central Park that even Will.i.am, the band’s head rapper felt. He told GMA’s Tonya Rivero that “it felt awesome” to play in Central Park.

 The performance was full of uplifting danceable music and creativity. The back up dancers sported robot-looking outfits during “Rock that Body.” The artists were fearless, joining their back up dancers during some choreographed routines and at other times letting loose.

 Coming to a live concert, like this one, gives fans a more real way to experience the music and the Peas brought enough energy to match the audience’s excitement.

 During the after-show interview that aired as part of Good Morning America, the multi-platinum recording artists were told that their song “I Gotta Feeling” was the first track to have six million downloads, returning the bolt of joy that the band is best known for giving its audience.

 Good Morning America’s next concerts feature the Jonas Brothers (Aug. 13) and Rihanna (Aug. 20).
