It's one thing when the Empire strikes back, but wait till you get a load of Kanye's rebuttal to the Bonnaroo scuttlebutt. But West was just one of may artists who made the week memorable, as you will read below.

NEW YORK CITY: Pearl Jam's two-night stint at Madison Square Garden was the most highly anticipated run of the band's brief 13-date jaunt, and when it comes to energy and surprises, Pearl Jam never disappoints and certainly delivered in NYC. Tuesday night's (June 24) performance was extremely loud and raucous, energetic and moving.

CAMDEN, NJ: The second night in Camden featured a set list just as surprising as the first.

VIRGINIA BEACH: Pearl Jam's concert in Virginia Beach came on the heels of a blistering, inspired show in Columbia, SC. Fans in Virginia who were expecting another fire-under-the-heels set would walk away disappointed, however. The first "Long Road" of the tour opened the set on a mellow note, a theme that would permeate the entire first set.
